I keep coming back to Berg’s Seventh Law…<\/p>\n

…no.\u00a0 That’s not accurate.\u00a0 Berg’s Seventh Law keeps coming up in the news.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Democrats’ attempts to paint issues as “racist” and “gender-hostile” – declaring “Wars on Women” on behalf of the GOP, for example – are getting ever-more frenzied (and in the case of the left’s Minnesota messaging operation, the Alliance for a “Better” Minnesota, clumsier and more ham-fisted).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

The answer, as with nearly everything the Democrats say about the GOP, is tucked away into Berg’s Law.\u00a0 The Law reads:\u00a0 “When a Liberal issues a group defamation or assault on conservatives\u2019 ethics, character or respect for liberty or the truth, they are at best projecting, and at worst drawing attention away from their own misdeeds”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So why the unseemly frenzy in the Democrats’ claims of “Racism” and “Wars” on Women?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because the GOP, in at least one key metric, is clobbering the Democrats on “diversity”:<\/a><\/p>\n

Obama aides like his political strategist David Axelrod and Gaspard have for years been sensitive to the irony that in the age of Obama, Republicans have done a better job than Democrats of bringing diversity through their ranks. That, and the personal warmth many in the Obama orbit also feel toward [Newark Mayor and NJ Senate hopeful Corey]\u00a0Booker, has helped set him up as arguably the best-connected super-junior senator in recent memory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Law also explains why the media went to such comically, unseemly links to try to portray the Tea Party as “racist” – because the Tea Party may have been the most un-self-consciously racially diverse political movement in recent history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lesson is clear; on gender and diversity even more than most topics, don’t listen to what the Democrats say.\u00a0 Listen to what Berg’s Seventh Law says they’re really <\/em>saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
