Obama Issues Executive Order on ‘Diversity’ [no more hiring white people for fed jobs]

President Obama issued an executive order yesterday titled, “Establishing a Coordinated Government-Wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce.” It’s quite vague, extolling the value of diversity without defining it, and setting up a “government-wide initiative” for “all agencies” that will “develop and issue a Government-wide Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan.” Details later, and the devil, of course, will be in the details.

Still, it’s bad enough already. If government personnel are told to strive for diversity, then of course they will be putting their fat thumbs on the scale to ensure a politically correct racial, ethnic, and gender mix, and that means that there will be divisive, unfair, inefficient discrimination, with the best qualified people not getting hired and promoted.

Well mine went up too....but it had something to do with 100+ temps for most of the summer.

Hmmm, there's not that much diversity at the Post Office here in Chicago. I only see Eric Holder's Peeps. Just sayin.

My post office is not like that, and they actually seem to work at their jobs.

Ideally, post office jobs should be reserved for returning veterans.

Today would be a good day to remember the last Obama quote:

From Audacity of Hope:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Well the full quote is a bit more insightful....

That said, I trust Obama to side with most American's, like I trust Syria, Iran, and Egypt...to side with Israel.

I checked out the quote and found out that it was taken out of context and not very accurate. I came back to correct it and FreeRepublic was down. There was another quote in that email that they say is completely fabricated. I should have verified it before I posted. It seems that they put in some real quotes and then ruined it by the other two.
