CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 24, 2023
SENATOR TIM SCOTT, SOUTH CAROLINA REPUBLICAN, DELIVERED A SPEECH IN IOWA THAT SHOULD REVERBERATE THROUGHOUT HIS PARTY AND THE COUNTRY.
DRAWING ON, BUT NOT DWELLING ON, HIS BACKGROUND AS A POOR BLACK KID, SCOTT SAID HE IS NOT SPECIAL FOR OVERCOMING OBSTACLES, BUT THAT AMERICA OFFERS OPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE: “I AM LIVING PROOF THAT OUR FOUNDERS WERE GENIUSES WHO SHOULD BE CELEBRATED, NOT CANCELED. THAT WE’RE A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY, NOT A LAND OF OPPRESSION.
“MY FAMILY CHOSE FAITH OVER ANGER, RESPONSIBILITY OVER RESENTMENT, AND PATRIOTISM OVER PITY. MY GRANDDADDY TAUGHT ME I COULD BE BETTER OR BITTER, BUT NOT BOTH. MY MOMMA SAID WE COULD BE VICTIMS OR VICTORS…”
ABOUT LEFTISM: “TAKE AIM AT OUR PATRIOTISM” BY PROMOTING “ATTENTION-SEEKERS WHO SAY AMERICA IS AN EVIL COUNTRY… TEACH KIDS THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN DEFINES THEM – TELL WHITE KIDS THEY’RE OPPRESSORS. TELL BLACK AND BROWN KIDS THEIR DESTINY IS GRIEVANCE. TO RUIN AMERICA, START WITH SEX ED IN KINDERGARTEN, FIRE HIGH SCHOOL COACHES FOR PRAYING, PROMOTE TEACHERS WHO “TELL KIDS THEY CAN PICK THEIR GENDER” AND “LET LABOR BOSSES TRAP THE POOREST KIDS IN THE WORST SCHOOLS WITH NO CHOICE.”
WOW! I’M CAL THOMAS.
