Dr. Condoleezza Rice: An Extraordinary Woman Now Vilified By the Left

The life of Condoleezza Rice is the story of incomparable achievements and that of overcoming extreme obstacles. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, during a time of intense racist violence, Rice went on to join Phi Beta Kappa (graduating cum laude) and then to earn her Ph.D. from the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver in 1981. Later, at Stanford University, Dr. Rice was a professor of political science (winning two of the highest teaching honors-Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching and the 1993 School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching) and was then tapped for a six year tenure post as Provost of Stanford. Dr. Rice’s additional accomplishments, honors and awards (prior to becoming President Bush’s Assistant for National Security Affairs) are myriad. Suffice it to say, her achievements have been and are extraordinary. Therefore, it is equally extraordinary that this brilliant and accomplished woman is now being vilified and venomously caricatured by the leftist ‘mainstream press’ and liberal/leftist pundits.
The NY Times and other mainstream leftist publications are carrying vengeful cartoons that both discount Dr. Rice’s intelligence and exaggerate racial characteristics. This comes from the Party of professed ‘racial tolerance’. In past years as well as presently, it has become all too evident that the Democrat Party is neither tolerant nor kind toward those who have escaped its plantation to seek their personal and individual freedoms of thought and deed. With consistency and regularity, the Democrat Party demonizes Republicans. But, this relatively new denigration of Republican minorities is far worse than any I have seen and virtually screams to them that they are not allowed to have any independent thought that goes against the tenets of the Democrat Party. It also fires a warning shot over their boughs that if they have the audacity to stray from speaking the acceptable Democrat Party-line drivel and babble, they will be unmercifully attacked; in any and all ways possible. Dissention is not allowed and thought control has become a foundational ‘principle’ of the new Democrat Party.
Now that President Bush has nominated Dr. Rice to the position of Secretary of State, the Democrats’ ‘we’re-broadminded-and-charitable’ masks have been dropped. The true repressive and enraged nature of the, now, decidedly leftist Democrat Party is being presented to the public at large. President Bush’s recent decisive win speaks strongly to the fact that the voting public has begun to see the Democrats’ real faces. The Democrats’ behaviors, also, speak loudly that they don’t care what ‘we-the-people’ think. Thus far, they have not only refused to change their practices but, have become even more vindictive.
Dr. Rice’s confirmation hearings are bound to be heated, as the Democrats gear up to throw anything and everything possible (at her) in their further attempt to discredit her. But, throughout her remarkable life, Dr. Rice has fought much greater battles. She is an extraordinary woman with an unparalleled resolve and purpose. So, I guess it’s now time to place our bets on which side will win; the side of angry mob mentality or reason. I’m betting on reason…and Dr. Rice.
