Blue Wave Receding? TX GOP Wins Special Election In District Held By Democrats For 139 Years

Special elections aren’t the best gauges for predicting the results of an election year, but since the liberal media touted such wins as a harbinger for the GOP apocalypse, let’s pop the champagne for the clutch win in Texas last night. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has to be happy. This special state Senate election saw a Republican win in a district that’s remained in Democratic hands for 139 years. The GOP wasn’t even supposed to be competitive in this race; they ended up winning it by 6 points. Oh, and Clinton carried this district in 2016 by 12 points. Needless to say, Democrats were a little shell-shocked (via San Antonio Express-News):

Republican wins Texas special election, Hillary won district by 12...

I'll grant you that. Online political discussion just is what is. Doesn't mean you can't insert a rational response though.

Dem Congressional Candidate Expressed Admiration for Radical Black Panther Activists

Lisa Brown also listed Communists and Anarchists as inspirations

Democratic congressional candidate Lisa Brown said during a 1983 speech that her "moral education" came from two radical members of the Black Panthers, according to audio of the speech obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.


Brown, at the time a Ph.D. candidate, was giving a speech at Whitworth University, entitled "The Moral Case Against Reaganomics." She said the lessons she learned during her studies of Stokely Carmichael and Eldridge Cleaver, two prominent members of the Black Panthers, were "more important" to her than the formal moral education she received growing up.

"My own formal moral education came from my parents and the Catholic Church, but what I consider even more important, were the moral lessons I learned when I went away to college at the University of Illinois," Brown said during the speech, which can be heard in full below.

"I learned a lot from studying the civil rights movement of the United States, from Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael and Eldridge Cleaver," Brown continued. "All in their own unique ways, I learned that the United States had failed in living up to the ideals that I had learned about in my high school history classes."

A leader in the Black Panther Party, Cleaver was described in a 1998 New York Times obituary as "a symbol of black rebellion in the turbulent 1960's." In 1968, Cleaver was involved in a shootout between the Black Panthers and police in which he and two police officers were wounded. Cleaver jumped bail and fled first to Cuba, then to Algeria.

In a prison memoir, Cleaver wrote about raping women:
​
I became a rapist. To refine my technique and modus operandi, I started out by practicing on black girls in the ghetto—in the black ghetto where dark and vicious deeds appear not as aberrations or deviations from the norm, but as part of the sufficiency of the Evil of the day—and when I considered myself smooth enough, I crossed the tracks and sought out white prey…. Rape was an insurrectionary act. It delighted me that I was defying and trampling upon the white man's law, upon his system of values, and that I was defiling his women—and this point, I believe, was the most satisfying to me because I was very resentful over the historical fact of how the white man has used the black woman. I felt I was getting revenge.​
Cleaver added that he would have "slit some white throats" if he had not been apprehended. He writes that he realized he "had gone astray" during his time in prison, "astray not so much from the white man's law as from being human, civilized—for I could not approve the act of rape."
