Thanks for posting this.

Has anyone else noticed that now people are finally starting to say A is A? Especially since this Syria episode people are starting to call him on his sh*t, even on TV. Lou Dobbs yesterday was very scathing for being on TV.

"But hey, at least we got to feel good about ourselves for a little while. And really, isn't that all that matters these days?" (See, rich? There it is again. Feeeeeelings. It's becoming obvious that's all people relate to. And apparently they don't know the whoa whoa whoa rule.)

I know I've played this one before, but hey...

And yet we have elected and re-elected him. It's not the seed, but the bed. More frightening than BO being in office is that Americans rejected accomplishment as a criteria for election to the highest political office in the land. If a slick marketing campaign and popularity are all that's needed, our future as a country looks bleak.

Affirmative action, people generally do not realize how bad and dangerous it is.

First, as explained in the American Thinker article, when the person who benefited gets in to the top college (or what it is), they cannot cope, feel humiliated and drop out. A year or more of their life has been wasted just to make do-gooders 'feel good about themselves'.

But it can be worse than that, in some cases they get help and benefit from favoritism all along the line. Then, the person can get false confidence in their abilities, this is a sure step to failure for them and could well be disaster for others.

On top of that, there are people of the same 'group' who have the ability, who have done the work, who have sweated thru the study and training, and have achieved on effort and merit. Then, they find they get the affirmative action tag that has not benefited them at all.
