MCloud9,

Diversity in this context has a feel good ring to it. It’s supposed to instill compassion and understanding (of someone else’s point of view not race). The truth is that feel good doesn’t get the job done.

The problem is not all the different ethnic backgrounds. It’s all the individuals or groups who try to use it as a bully tactic in the political arena. Or the ones who use it as an excuse to get some special treatments , appointed positions which they may not otherwise be qualified for. Even for admission of special entitlements which create special rights for their ethnic group and divide our nation’s class of citizenry. It’s a scam in that regard.

I’m starting to think that Obama should consider November 4th his personal 9-11

Furthermore, remember that “W” received absolutely no credit for all the qualified protected classes he placed in high-ranking positions just as a matter of course – not because he owed a particular demographic.

In the last Clinton administration one of our Asian-American attorneys was tapped to be an assistant cabinet secretary, I believe Labor. In any event, she was lovely and had a terrific education. She also was obtuse and incredibly lazy. Let’s “hope” for more appointments along those lines to ensure as little is accomplished as possible.

backgrounds reflect the rich diversity of our Country

Diversity…. When I hear that word it sends shivers up my spine.
Diversity… The ORIGINAL meaning of the word is TO DIVIDE !!!
It should scare the Hell out of you too.

Inexperience and qualification are not the same thing when it comes to the presidency, or so thought 53% of the country.

We’ve already discussed the stupid people who voted for Obama on another thread.

Heard on the radio the other day, one of the MSM liberal anchors say that “Obama needs a high ranking Hispanic on his cabinet such as Bill Richards.” I always thought we needed the “best” people and not just people of a certain demographic. Identity politics is just plain wrong.

How does Mexico handle its diversity when a new president comes in every six years? I know their first president had more native blod then Spanish blood but other Fox being of Irish ancestory, the total Mexican government has been all of one race. Someone across the hall in school once asked “when are we going to get a Mexican for president” and the teacher said probably about the same time Mexico elects an American for president in Mexico and the student had nothing to say. As for Hispanics serving the BO administration, I would assume conservative Hispanics would not be allowed.
