Last week’s Democratic Party joyfest in Chicago opened with the now-obligatory acknowledgment that it was taking place in “indigenous homelands.” It wrapped up with a war party that named Donald Trump as the enemy over 400 times, according to one source. So, it’s altogether fitting that Sen. Elizabeth Warren, ridiculed by Trump as “Pocahontas,” was one of the featured speakers.
It was the 4th straight DNC where Warren spewed her socialism. I prefer calling the senator from Massachusetts, “Little White Dove” as I always had an affinity for Johnny Preston’s 1959 recording with the backup singers chanting “uga, uga, uga, uga.” (READ MORE: Five Quick Things: Who Lies About Working at McDonald’s?)
As a refresher, the senator’s claims of being either Delaware or Cherokee came into question when the then-Harvard professor was engaged in a tight race for Senate in 2012. It was in 2019 that Liz ended up apologizing to the Cherokee Nation after her self-proclaimed ancestry, checked through DNA, suggested that she may have had a blood relative as far back as 6-10 generations. The Cherokee noted that it required more than self-identifying and a trace of DNA.
Does this matter? Not really, except as a check on her character. After all, Warren profited as a self-identified “minority” in her career advancement.
Her speech at the 2012 Democrat convention put her on the national stage when she was the introductory speaker for former President Bill Clinton. At that time, she essentially painted her roots as akin to J. D. Vance’s hillbilly. Unlike Vance, she was a hero to the “progressive” wing of the party and her job was to point to Republican and Wall Street greed as part of a rigged system to keep the little guy and the middle class down. Take that, Mitt Romney! We’re coming after you and your big wampum — an Algonquian word.
The Warren of DNCs Past
The Harvard Crimson, reporting in September 2012, noted about the prime-time speech, “(Warren)… reintroducing herself to a nation as the unlikely Senate hopeful who rose from the lower crust of the middle class.” And that publication, continuing without even a hint of disbelief, noted, “She said that Democrats want to decrease national debt and build a stronger country from the middle class up.”
Moving forward with even more national debt into 2016, now a senator and a star, Liz was off of Romney and on the warpath after Trump. Not surprisingly, part of her speech that year in support of Hillary Clinton sounded the same shrill notes against Orange Man. Back then, with Barack Obama still president and Joe Biden nursing his grievances, Little White Dove spoke of the Trump vs. Clinton matchup: “America faces a choice, the choice of a new president. On one side is a man who inherited a fortune from his father and kept it going by cheating people.… A man who cares only for himself — every minute of the day.” (READ MORE: The Trump Revolution)
Continuing with the big contrast, “On the other side is one of the smartest, toughest, most tenacious people on the planet — a woman who fights for children, for women, for health care, for human rights, a woman who fights for all of us…” If you were lucky enough to miss it live, you may not have picked up the contrasted “man” vs. “woman” emphasis.
Warren remains the belle of the ball to the Marxists in this country. She again spoke at the 2020 DNC, that time as the 3rd place contender for the nomination which was bestowed upon “the dead husk of a moth-eaten sock puppet,” as the great Mark Steyn refers to Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders was ahead of her and Michael Bloomberg and Pete Buttigieg trailed her.
Democrat Mooning Shows Contempt for America
Fast forward to the present, just last week at her fourth recycling before the Democratic National Convention, Liz had been cut back to a very short speech — about 5 minutes with the extended applause from the rabble in attendance. She began with, “You know what I love best about Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris can’t be bought.”
Ouch! Was that aimed at Donald, “the felon,” or a reference to the Biden Crime Family? Judging from the “joy” expressed by the crowd over that and “felon,” we shouldn’t be surprised by her conclusory remarks when she summarized Kamala and the Democrats’ positions: “There it is. Groceries, gas, housing, health care, taxes, abortion.” (READ MORE: America Waited 39 Days for This? The Blah-ness of CNN’s Kamala & Tim Show)
So, in homage to a great native American tradition, Little White Dove, Kamala, and the rest of the Democrats just dropped trou (pantsuits are great for this!) and mooned America. As Joe Biden would say, “No joke!”
Just north of the state of Massachusetts, there is an account of an early encounter between the Abenaki people — an Algonquian tribe — and European mariners in the critically acclaimed book, 1491, by Charles C. Mann.
The author tells the story dating to 1523 as follows. “The Indians denied the visitors permission to land; refusing even to touch the Europeans, they passed goods back and forth on a rope over the water. As soon as the crew members sent over the last items, the locals began ‘showing their buttocks and laughing.’”
Mooned as a measure of disrespect. What took place in Chicago was a show of contempt for America. My long-time friend Bob Tyrrell, well known as the Founder of TAS, is fond of quoting H. L. Mencken. None is better than, “Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.”
