Republican mantra: “Thou shalt speak no ill of a fellow Republican.”
     Democrat mantra: “Outside this church there is no salvation!”

     I’m sure Cold Fury’s Gentle Readers have noticed that the Democrats have been expressing concern about Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman’s mental state… now that he’s started to exhibit occasional flashes of rationality. Apparently his earlier quasi-schizophrenic behavior was quite all right with them. A similar case appears to be in progress in North Carolina:

     “As a social scientist reports, all cultures are not equal,” [Charlotte Representative Carla] Cunningham said. “Some immigrants come and believe they can function in isolation, refusing to adapt.”
     She added, “No country is going to allow people to come in and not acknowledge its constitution, legal systems and laws.”
     Several Democratic lawmakers spoke out against Cunningham’s remarks, including Charlotte State Senator Caleb Theodros.
     “This idea that, the comment was that there are some cultures beneath others, I’m paraphrasing here, I think is antithetical to everything we teach our kids,” he said.
     Theodros did not say Cunningham should be replaced in her district, but he did say representatives need to speak out against, what he calls, “bad policy.”
     “To see that come from Democrats is disheartening,” he said. “Roughly 600,000 people are set to lose their healthcare in the next few years unless we do anything. That has nothing to do with the number of immigrants or a certain culture that’s superior to another.”

     Apparently the Democrats feel that the gospel of multiculturalism – a premise embedded in the foundation of Democrats’ marriage to “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” – must be maintained at all costs. As long as the costs fall on private citizens and not legislators, that is.

     The linked article contains no information about felony crimes attributable to illegal aliens in North Carolina, but if the patterns observable in the rest of the nation apply to the Tarheel State, we may assume that ridding itself of illegals will reduce the burden on law enforcement as well as other public services. The Democrats can’t have that, either. Anything that helps a state function to… well… function is anathema to them; it weakens their case for more spending.

     I normally don’t pay much attention to politics in the Carolinas. Perhaps I should start.
