Supreme Court & Sodomy

Sandra Day O'Connor threw away another opportunity to make at least one good decision this week. If our society requires the Court to enforce morality, we are in deep peril. But the proper decision in this matter would not have been to strike down these laws. This is a State matter, not a federal matter. The Court should have declined this case; instead, it re-defined itself as defender of the liberal faith in the ongoing culture wars. The Supreme Court in this week of June 2003 has become the engine of radical liberalism. Rehnquist has lost control, and this Court is presenting America with a grave crisis of judicial accountability that may be reversible only by Constitutional Amendment. The decisions this week may spark the beginning of revolutionary activity from pro-family groups.

Racial Infamy at the Supreme Court - the end of Equal Protection

Sandra Day O'Connor has perpetrated a disgraceful outrage in her mendacious and artful apologetic for the politics of skin color.

In her opinion, the unambiguous language of the 14th Amendment is trumped by a trendy political construct - the undemonstrated benefits of forced association, aka "diversity". O'Connor has been taken in by a massive snow job presented by institutions desperate for an easy way around Equal Protection. They're tired of inventing excuses for minority failure, tired of constructing indefensible baroque castles of spun cobwebs to hide raw racist discrimination, tired of defending the natural consequences of unbiased selection against attacks by racial extortionists like Jackson and Sharpton.

O'Connor has rescued IBM and U of M from these inconveniences. Institutions can continue using quotas without even the pretense of addressing discrimination.

"Diversity" is not a core value. It's a trendy catch-phrase concept - like its flip side - ethnic cleansing. We need to be especially vigilant about trendy political values that trump core Constitutional protections like the Equal Protection Amendment - especially when the weight of institutions is harnessed to knock them down. O'Connor has set America on a dangerous path. European Americans are on notice - their government has officially sanctioned intitutional racism directed against them. If the Courts cannot be counted on to protect European Americans against this racism - then what remedy will be required to eradicate this outrageous injustice?

The government is hostile to European American civil rights. European Americans should look at other means to free themseves from from O'Connor's decision.

Sprawl For Paul - III

Bee Editorial Page Editor Mark Paul has an axe to grind - see how many times you can count the word "sprawl" in his Sunday Forum section editorials. He and the other downtown liberals hate the suburbs - they want to force everybody to live in rat cages downtown.

In today's Forum section, Paul strugles to make the point that Republcians are actually helping his anti-growth cause by holding out on tax increases for transportaion.

Paul parrots the old anti-growth stupidity - "Don't build it and they won't come." What he fails to recognize is that millions of Mexicans don't care how bad the roads are here. Neglecting road maintenance will not stop illegal aliens from coming - but it may get bad enough that others who care about things like roads and schoools will leave.

And the problem with raising the sales tax for transportaion is that none of the money ever gets spent on fixing our horrendous roads - it gets diverted to liberal giveaway programs, and union bureaucrats.

So all you sprawlers out there - Let's all Sprawl for Paul!

Hillary Watch - Lying Herstory
Wall Street Journal - OpinionJournal - Featured Article
. .. Mrs. Clinton more or less blames this newspaper all over again for killing Vincent Foster, the former White House aide who committed suicide in 1993. . . .

The Starr report concludes that Mr. Foster "was involved in work related to a number of important and difficult issues," including controversial appointments and "litigation related to the Health Care Task Force; the dismissal of White House Travel Office employees and the ensuing fallout from that incident; the Clintons' tax returns (which involved an issue regarding treatment of the Clintons' 1992 sale of their interest in Whitewater); the Clintons' blind trust; liaison with the White House Usher's office over issues related to the White House Residence; and issues related to the Freedom of Information Act." Other living historians might recall that most of those controversies involved Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary Watch - Lying Herstory
Dick Morris on Hillary Clinton & Living History on National review Online Setting the Record Straight
An open letter to Hillary Clinton.
By Dick Morris
Dear Hillary,
In your new book, Living History, you correctly note that when you asked me to help you and Bill avert defeat in the congressional election of 1994 I was reluctant to do so. But then you assert, incorrectly, that my reluctance stemmed from difficulties in working with your staff. You even misquote me as telling you: "I don't like the way I was treated, Hillary. People were so mean to me."

As you know, I never said anything of the sort. I had, in fact, no experience in dealing with either your staff or the President's at that point, and had not yet met Leon Panetta or George Stephanopoulos. My prior dealing with Harold Ickes had been twenty five years earlier.

The real reason I was reluctant was that Bill Clinton had tried to beat me up in May of 1990 as he, you, Gloria Cabe, and I were together in the Arkansas governor's mansion.

Hillary Watch - Lying Herstory
Byron York on Hillary Clinton & Travelgate on National Review Online In 1995, lawyers for the independent counsel asked Clinton who made the decision to fire the Travel Office workers. She answered, "Well, the best I know is David Watkins and Mack McLarty, I assume, based on what I have learned since and read in the newspapers."
The lawyers asked if Clinton had any role in the firings. "No, I did not," she said. They asked whether she "had any input with either Mr. McLarty or Mr. Watkins as to that decision." She answered, "I don't believe I did, no."
The First Lady's statements, under oath, were patently false. And indeed, at the end of the investigation, independent counsel Robert Ray determined that "Clinton did play a role and have input in the decision to fire the Travel Office employees and that her testimony to the contrary was factually false."
Yet Ray declined to prosecute, saying that "insufficient proof exists to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Clinton ... knowingly gave false material testimony."

Earth Destroyed - Women, Minorities Hit Hardest - Part VIII

The Sacramento Bee -- sacbee.com -- Latino dropout picture brighter

Latino dropout picture brighter
A study focusing on U.S.-born youths finds a much lower rate.
By Michael Doyle -- Bee Washington Bureau
Published 2:15 a.m. PDT Friday, June 13, 2003
WASHINGTON -- Latino students are sticking with school more than many experts have presumed, a new study says.
About 14 percent of U.S.-born Latino youths dropped out of school in 2000, according to the Pew Hispanic Center study released Thursday. While high, this is still lower than the 20 percent to 30 percent Latino dropout rates that are commonly cited.

"(Our study) reveals a problem that is quite grave and that has serious long-term implications for the education system, Latino communities and the nation as a whole," analyst Richard Fry reported. "However, these numbers show that the problem is not as bad as is commonly thought."

Is the media exaggerating the extent of the problem by 100% to justify special preference programs for 'Hispanics'? You decide.
