Power Brings Out The Best And The Worst In People

In 1964 Martin Luther King Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize for his powerful, successful,  non-violent leading of the civil rights movement in America. In 2009 Barack Obama, who is the first Africa-American president, won the Nobel Peace Prize whilst expanding the Afghanistan war.

King, a minority, non-violent leader, set up the opportunity for Obama, a minority to become president. And what did the first minority president do? He took the unprecedented power and became like the majority of greedy presidents who project increasing arrogance. King would disapprove.

America's Democracy: Latest Examples Of What's OK

While we slept our democracy was taking new shapes. Al Franken defeated Norm Coleman. Franken now will go to the U S Senate to represent Minnesota. Some choice. Both guys are Zionists who have and will continue to keep Israel afloat at the expense of U S prestige and treasure. Can it get any better for the Israeli lobby? The lobby backs the 2 guys that are running!

Meanwhile President Obama is taking the democracy to the next evolutionary step which cracks open the socialism door. Trillions of dollars passed out to the largely unworthy and making more ever more dependant on central planning. Also Obama is sending an affirmative action poster girl-Sonia Sotomayor-to the Senate for approval to serve on the Supreme Court.

The homosexual crowd not satisfied with social acceptance now  marry and also adopt unsuspecting children.

Also while we slept, some legal or illegal immigrant came here and lowered the bar for equality status in our country . It may be a 3'8'' Philipina, transgender, pregnant, obese diabetic, bad teeth, blind and argumentative  who needs a face transplant who is fleeing her country because of discrimination. Yea, I can see that country's point. But she is the new gold standard by which all future applicants are now measured. And she may get that face transplant for free.

The good news is California's broke. This beautiful state is largely the recipient of the worlds human overflow. But without the do-re-me(money) the state will have to stop a lot of the silly equality entitlements for these strange strangers that come here.

An Apology For Slavery. Why Now?

Where would we all be without the moral compass of some Jews in Congress? Representative Steve Cohen,D-Tenn.,who became the first white and or semite to represent a 60% plus black district in the city of Memphis, introduced a resolution of apology to the descendants of America's slaves. The Cohen Resolution passed the House yesterday on a voice only vote. It does not mention costly reparations but it does crack the door by "committing the House to rectifying the lingering consequences of the misdeeds committed against African-Americans under slavery and Jim Crow."

What "lingering consequences"? The African slaves were made full citizens with the 19th century Constitutional Amendments 13,14 and 15. Evidently that wasn't enough so President Lyndon Johnson pushed through Congress The Great Society social programs that are still bleeding this country financially to the tune of trillions of dollars. These handouts and affirmative action programs have largely re-enslaved descendants in a more insidious and subtle way.

We in America today owe nothing to those slaves descendants. We threw off the burden of the British monarchy with its claim of "divine right". Why give a similar quasi - super entitlement to a lot of people who should be happy they were brought to America in the first place? Blacks have done well in the U.S.. We may have a black president. They have been great ball handlers in the sports world. So much so that their salaries have attracted white women who want to be their personal ball handlers. America has been too, too generous.

Holocaust, Affirmative Action & Divine Right Of Kings

First there was the divine rights of kings and caesars. After those excesses came power-sharing with parliaments and legislators with a more sustainable governing paradigm. So much so that the British monarchy has become a rubber stamp for England's Parliament.

Then comes the inevitable excesses of demagoguery that markets guilt for perceived past injustices. This includes affirmative action to remedy slavery, reparations to Japanese for internment and the creation of Israel to pay for the Holocaust.

But there is a blowback and resistance by present-day people who resent being dunned for a guilt bill that they didn't run up. So for all who still want something for nothing, the party is coming to an end.

Can't Close Education Gaps : Good News And Bad News

Now as Congress looks at reauthorizing No Child Left Behind, reports are being published about results about the program so far. For instance, " The [educational] gaps between African-Americans and whites are showing very few signs of closing.", that is according to Michael T. Nettles, a vice-president at the Educational Testing Service.

Considering how far academic standards have been degraded in the pursuit of integrated education along with affirmative action, that news contains both postive and negative signs. It's negative that blacks still languish. But it is good because it shows an inflexion point in our education system that whites and Asians students can't or will not become anymore stupid to facilitate affirmative action and integration of schools based on political objectives rather than academic objectives.
