Ricci v. Destefano

Finally someone has tried to put a stop to liberal's illogical quest for equality at any cost. This time that someone got to be the Supreme Court……

In a 5-4 decisions the Supreme Court ruled that the 20 New Haven, Connecticut firefighters whose tests scores EARNED a promotion were unfairly thrown out. Why were these tests scores thrown out you may ask? -Because 19 out of the 20 firefighters who EARNED the promotion were white! (I guess they forgot to mention that 1 firefighter who EARNED the promotion was Hispanic)

Apparently the Civil Service Board decided to strip these firefighters of their promotion because they……

1. Wanted to increase diversity

2. Assumed that since no African Americans scored high, then the test it must be racist

3. Are complete and utter morons

And while I hope the third is not true, evidently by their reasoning, it is as certain as Newton's Laws.

It is a sad America when we concentrate so much on diversity that we will go as far as to strip promotions from those that earn it. It should not matter what race, ethnicity, or religion of people did better on this test….if 20 African Americans EARNED a promotion, then 20 African Americans should get the promotion they worked so hard to EARN.

If you find yourself thinking, "Well, if these liberals are complaining that this test is racist, then they must have some point?" …..don't bother with the thought, I had the same thought and after much research, there is no point…..

Maybe liberals would have a point if

……a private company had not been hired out to review the test to determine that no racial biases were apparent.

……the questions weren't straight from the study material (which is what Michael Blatchley, one of the firefighters commented)

……the majority of the people giving the oral part of the exam were not minorities

It feels like liberals are trying to pull out all of the stops to win more constituents, seriously I hope that is the reason, if they seriously believe in the BS that they are claiming then we are getting ready for a load of hurt.

All I know is that if I am in a house that is on fire, I want the person who is MOST QUALIFIED to be putting out the fire and saving me. The race of the firefighter is such a childish issue at that point.

If something like this were legal, then there is precedent for quotas for lets say……the number of white and black athletes in sports dominated by one race………..hockey…….basketball? This is heading down a slippery road my friends and it opens up a dangerous Pandora's Box.

Thank God for the Supreme Court taking some sense into this case! I felt like I was reading a bad Al Franken joke!

PS: Sotomayor rejected this claim by these firefighters in an appeals court (good thing she is replacing Souter who ruled in the minority on this case)

Miss California

What is more American than hot dogs, apple pie, and well…..Miss America? The reaction to the response of Miss California over the weekend to an inappropriate question has sparked a most un-American outcry. Carrie Prejean of California was surprised when she was asked during the 2009 Miss America pageant whether she thought other states should follow the lead of Vermont in legalizing same sex marriage. Her response was as follows, ""I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman, No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."

The question was asked by notorious celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who did I mention, is gay. (By the way, how come a gay man is judging some of the most beautiful women in the world?)On his blog after the show Perez Hilton blasted Ms. Prejean with expletives. He even went as far as to go on news shows defending his tirade and stating the favorite to win, Ms. Prejean, lost because of her answer. Mr. Hilton said that he wanted someone that represented everyone, not just straight couples.

I think I will take the next few seconds to now go one my own personal tirade on my own blog against this celebrity blogger. What could be more fitting? So you say you want Miss California to represent you, well, what about the 52% of Americans who upheld proposition 8 this November. Had she of supported gay marriage then she would actually be in the minority in her own state. Does he also realize that Miss California holds the same opinions as Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and "Billary" Clinton? Was it not Bill Clinton who signed the Defense of Marriage Act which allows states to not recognize same sex marriage from other states (not to mention it says that the federal government cannot treat same sex marriage as marriage for any purpose)? Why are we then bashing this woman's honesty? I want my Miss America to be honest. It is always joked that during Miss America only superficial and politically correct answers are given. Why should she thus hide her own opinions in the closet? Or does Perez Hilton not remember what it was like to hide in the closet?

Congratulations Miss California! You represented your state statistically and were honest even when knowing that it would cost you the pageant!

Shame on you liberal bloggers, Perez Hilton, and all of the out of touch with reality Hollywood liberals!

Stop Hiding Stewart

The portrayal of the FOX news network is extremely unfair. It is a relentless attack from all angles, whether it be from its rivals on television, newspapers, or entertainment. What is so wrong about presenting the news in a different way, a way that is more hesitant and skeptical of everything the "Anointed One" does or says? The reason that FOX gets such a bad rap is because all of the other media outlets are so far left and biased in the opposite direction of FOX, that they collectively gang up on and try to discredit an alternative view point. I recently saw Bill O'Rielly as a guest on David Letterman's Late Show, only to watch Mr. O'Rielly be verbally abused for his opinions and his show. Who is David Letterman to call out a Harvard graduate and say that his show is awful and his ideas stupid? This is only one instance of many in which conservative spokesmen are being disrespected and degraded everywhere. What really infuriates me is the fact that liberals get these conservatives on their show, give them a thorough tongue lashing with their audience cheering every step of the way and only allow their guests brief moments to respond before continuing, never fully giving them a chance to defend themselves and their ideas. On the off chance that conservatives are given an opportunity to present their case, make good points and show people that they are not the evil, not the cynical men and women they are made out to be but are actually intellectuals who want to engage in a stimulating debate and argue the points, the host cowardly steps back and says "I'm just a comedian, I can't be taken seriously." (Yes I am talking about you Jon Stewart)! You are like that tiny twerp who takes his jab and then hides behind his big brother because he can't take the retaliation. Mr. Stewart, you are an intelligent man, everyone knows it, why than are you so afraid to engage in an actual intellectual discussion with an exchange of viewpoints instead of a barrage of attacks and assumptions and then say "well don't argue with me I am just a comedian"? Sir, you are a coward! If you are so confident that you are right and that the ideas you stand for are correct, why do you continue to hide behind the curtain of comicality and ludicrousness?

College Conservatives, Stay Strong!

A word of advice for you college conservatives out there; take every word your political science professors say with a grain of salt. Being a political science and international relations major I have taken my fair share of classes with liberal professors professing their ideas. It is not easy for conservatives like us to constantly be berated in class by PhD's who claim that every cornerstone and pillar to the conservative ideology is baseless and stupid. The result of this berating has us constantly questioning and defending our opinions, which should not happen when we are in class to become more educated citizens and in turn make more informed decisions. How can we make educated decisions when our entire college years have been dominated by liberal professors professing only one side of the argument? The result, whether intentional or not, is that instead of producing informed citizens who can make their own decisions, they manufacture people with the same opinions as their teachers. As liberals I thought that they were suppose to be open to differing ideas, understanding and tolerant of others? I guess not when it comes to the bullying of college kids by educated, and proven political scientists. These professors don't care that they are there to present the facts and let us, the students, make our own decisions regarding the correct course of action or stance on an issue. They are arrogant people who think their opinion is the right one and that all others are meritless and foolish. I am perfectly fine with having a left-leaning professor who states his/her opinions but only when their statement is accompanied by "but that's just my opinion" or some other variation. It can not be expected to learn from professors that do not have opinions or beliefs, after all they have been studying politics for most of their lives. All that we ask is that they keep their opinion in check and realize that there is more than one point-of-view. So to you college conservatives, no matter how few you are, be strong and do not secumb to the tongue-lashing of your professors. After all, if you do make it out of college and still believe in your conservative ideas your that much stronger. Your beliefs will be severely tested but remember their opinions are not the only reasonable and acceptable opinions out there, no matter how much they make you think otherwise.
