Story Of Obama

OK, I think my Senator, Mr. Reid, was absolutely nuts with his comments above. I thought Imus' comment about "nappy headed ho's" or whatever, was stupid, but not worth he being fired over. My position is simple, I think fought the race war, it should be over, end affirmative action and the like. I think we have much bigger problems to solve, and we need both sides to make things happen.

BTW, I just checked in chit chat for that crazy thread about your "challenge" from that guy. Did they eliminate it, him, whatever?
I was looking forward to my 10%, LOL.
Don
OK, who's a Mod that can check? Or how can I check my own? I'll post it up??
Mod has my permission to post mine. Let us know. Whatever.

Racialism in Obamaland
By Quin Hillyer, Center For Individual Freedom, August 16 2012
This Obama crew is more racially divisive than any administration and campaign in memory.
News on four fronts in one week give further evidence, as if any still were needed, that the Obama administration actively and fiercely acts from an ugly, racialist mindset. The first two developments are attitudinal; the other two, more serious in the long term, involve specific legal positions taken, or ducked, by Attorney General Eric Holderâs lawless Department of Justice (DoJ).
By far the least important, but still attitudinally instructive, was Wednesdayâs Daily Caller report that as a third-year law student, First Lady Michelle Obama âargued for race-based faculty hiring.â Harking back to a college essay and even a sit-in, especially by spouse rather than a direct policy-maker, doesnât necessarily constitute a fair assessment of administration policy â but when it comports so closely with so many other administration actions, which in this case it does, it does add further to an overall picture of a presidency that sees the world through an extremely heightened racial prism.
This comes on top of Vice President Joe Bidenâs racially charged accusation before a largely black audience that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney would put people âback in chains.â That remark seems less like a mere slip of the lip when combined with other recent administration comments also ratcheting up racial sensitivities, such as Barack Obamaâs statement that deceased Florida teen Trayvon Martin âwould look like my sonâ and the long-running race-baiting involved in portraying voter-ID laws as a resurgence of Jim Crow.
The third recent example, this one quite explicit, of racialist approaches came Monday when the administration filed a brief in the pending Supreme Court case of Fisher v. University of Texas, in which the Obama team supported the schoolâs use of racial preferences in admissions decisions. It argues, bizarrely, that this serves not just the interests of diversity in general but also that it is vital for the militaryâs recruiting needs in drawing on a âracially and ethnically diverse range of graduates who are prepared to lead a multiracial force.â This is poppycock. And as three members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights have noted, ample social science research shows that racial preferences lead to minorities graduating, and succeeding in their intended professions, at lower rates than they otherwise would if they attended less selective schools for which their prior training had well prepared them.
Fourth, and most below the public radar despite an excellent July 16 column in NRO by John Fund, the Holder DoJ is committing a huge act of omission by refusing to intervene against a hideously racist (not just racialist) move by leaders in the territory of Guam. Those leaders plan to hold a plebiscite on Guamâs status (as U.S. state, âfree associationâ entity, or independent nation) open only to ânative inhabitantsâ and their descendants. Letâs repeat that: Guam plans to hold a referendum on whether to stay a U.S. territory, but to exclude â63 percent of the islandâs 155,000 residentsâ from even registering for the election because, even though they are citizens, they arenât ânative.â
In other words, in effect, they are not of the local âChamorroâ race. The results would then be âtransmit[ted] ⦠to the President and the Congress of the United States of America, and to the Secretary General of the United Nationsâ as a valid representation of the âdesireâ of natives for a change, in some fashion, from their territorial status. This election would be held after âan extensive public information program, throughout the island,â according to the official language of the plan.
This is as clear a violation of the Constitution and of various civil rights laws as can be imagined. It also directly flies in the face of the year 2000 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Rice v. Cayetano, negating a similar scheme attempted in Hawaii.
This overtly racist referendum is supported, amazingly enough, by the Republican attorney general, Leonardo M. Rapadas, who appears to be pandering both to native voters and to the Holder DoJ. (Presumably, an incoming Romney administration would never appoint him or his ilk to any other coveted post.) A motion to dismiss the case is now in front of Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood â a motion that any other DoJ leadership should and would oppose in an instant. But the Holder team repeatedly has refused to intervene, refused to enforce civil rights laws and principles as it is obviously obligated to do.
This all stems back, directly, to orders issued by former Obama-Holder DoJ civil rights official Julie Fernandes, who in several different contexts told lawyers in the division that she would only selectively enforce various civil rights laws. DoJâs non-involvement in this case isnât a mere oversight; it is a deliberate decision to let the racist referendum proceed.
This Obama crew is more racially divisive than any administration and campaign in memory. How sickening.

LOL, you were right, there is some fun to be had down here. Extreme prejudice, LOL.
While we're yakking, and I know I should ask privately, but I have a question from the magazine, that I might also have interest in. I'll give your real name, or Atticus credit for help with the answer.
"Do you know of any leap options that I can put on condors or butterflies in the oil sector? I don't want to have to think about it, or check daily or weekly. Any ideas?"
Truth is, Hell I don't know, do you have any ideas Send me a PM or email, or post here if you can help. [
