On the next night, we heard from “Mothers of the Movement” a sort of Black Lives Matter placeholder group that offers a fundamentally false racial narrative, which may do for racial tensions in 2016 what Wallace’s did in 1963.

Those who watched the RNC saw Republicans put someone on stage to lead the audience in cackling celebration that the killers of Freddie Gray will go free. Apparently that’s not divisive. Instead we’re to believe it’s a group of mothers mourning their children who need to be kept under close observation.

… their polite rhetoric yesterday doesn’t dissolve their records of incitement. And the frequent chants of “Black Lives Matter” by the audience, left no doubt where the audience’s sympathies lay. … If the Democrats had any real interest in racial reconciliation, they would have had Darren Wilson speak at their convention.

The RNC dedicated an evening to the idea that immigrants are killers, and are part of a program demanding a 3,000-mile long wall that will permanently deface the country and defame our founding ideals while consuming a couple of billion cubic feet in building material. But it’s a young woman who came to this country at age four who is divisive.

One candidate for president has been the first-ever candidate for president endorsed by the union of Border Patrol agents. The other candidate proudly features, on the first night of her convention, illegal aliens up on the main stage, while Democrats nationwide cheer.

This screed is the product of Jeremy Carl, who the Hoover Institute usually keeps in a back room for when they want a half-assed assault on environmental regulations or mangled statistics about energy. But in this case they’ve tipped him out of the box to deliver an astounding and laughable “diversity = racism” tirade laced with thoroughly debunked numbers on crime and word salad that would have Sarah Palin rolling her eyes.

Tonight you can expect that the Democratic National Convention will continue to hear from black Americans, from Latino Americans, from Asian Americans, from Native Americans, from LGBTQ Americans, from disabled Americans, and even from white Americans. Like, say, the nominee, and the vice presidential nominee, and the current vice president, and others who make up about half of both the speakers and the delegates. Just as they do in the nation.

But for guys like Jeremy Carl, a diversity that matches that of the United States … that’s just way too diverse. When they hear Trump’s “Make America Great Again” motto, there’s a very specific definition of “great” in mind.
