Right On!

What a bad example of group think, racial steriotyping, and bigotry!

I’m talking about the behavior of some of the Maryland State Democrat Delegation. Several bloggers have posted on this topic since it first broke the day after Steele made public his decision to run for the Senate seat of retiring Paul Sarbanes.

Michelle Malkin has a piece on it, as does Sister Toldjah on this page.

Even the half-hearted objections of a few Maryland Democrats came only after they were challenged to take a stand on the statements. Perish the thought that any of these black Democrats would have an independent thought. Not allowed in this group!

This sort of group think is just what the Nazis and the Communists required of their members - blind obedience to the party line.

Whether Steele, or any other Republican, agrees with these lock-step Demoncrats isn’t based on what he or the Republicans see in the mirror (”I’m black, therefore I must think like dem ocrats.”).

In fact, looking at the thoughtful Republicans who happen to be black (e.g., Lt. Gov. Steele, Condoleeza Rice, Thomas Sowell), and comparing that to the blind groupthink of the Maryland Demoncrats, causes me to wonder if the determining factor isn’t the ability to think for one’s self.

Modern day group think - don’t question any facts or data about the political positions of The Party. If you’re a “true” black, you’ll follow the rest of the herd to the Democrat trough.
