No wonder the U of Denver would not print this. It has the distinct sound of a Democrat awakening from decades of party-conforming slumber.
Wonderful piece. I hope it gets the local airing that it deserves. Maybe Peter Boyles, or Caplis and Silverman?
Well thought out, neutral, racially unbiased treatement of the little secret that the racialists would love to keep in Pandora's box.
Thanks.
Liberals, demagogues, and Democrats think that Freedom of Speech applies only to them; everybody else needs to be suppressed, censored and silenced.
Yup, cannot risk publishing the Truth. It is not very palatable. But SO refreshing. Keep on keeping on, Governor. Those who hear the Truth, their lives will be changed.
Bump for stating the obvious skillfully.
Ohhhhhh, this is soooo un-PC that I can't even count all the ways!
Totally and completely accurate.... but UN-PC nonetheless.
Great post, thanks!
--Richard Lamm-although I detested him as governor--does do some brilliant thinking--
They'll tell the writer that their article is "inappropriate" and then go on to publish something unreadable as well as irrelevant -- ensuring nothing meaningful can ever be discussed. This is the central issue:
"Daniel Patrick Moynihan has insightfully observed, the central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself."
The former means that life is more than just government -- while the liberals would like to make government the extent of life and consciousness. Good government is temporary and eventually abolishes itself because its end is to create good people who then don't need government to conduct their affairs. Liberal (Democratic) government produces bad people who will need evermore government and governing. Also, they must sow the belief that people are inherently bad and are never to be trusted to govern themselves.
And that's why they need liberals, demagogues and Democrats to do their thinking for them -- to speak for, and as if, God.

I can understand what's in it for those at the top of these pyramids -- but I can't understand what's in it for all those dupes doing all the dirty work for their manipulators. They can't be that stupid, can they? I guess they think that if they pay their dues in this way, it'll all be worthwhile when they get to the top of the pecking order -- never realizing that there is no such plans for such a ridiculous eventuality. They are just being exploited by the countless con-artists who will always be better at it than they are.
But if we didn't talk about these things among ourselves, we would have no idea that these ideas exist at all -- because the other side is certainly not going to be discussing it. In fact, they will deny that anybody in their right mind could ever think such a thing. That's why it is important to manifest these things among your friends and any others who share these thoughts because you don't know if you share them -- unless you discuss these things. And then those well-articulated and well-establsihed values become the base for further growth and development.
The notion that you should not talk about an idea except to those hostile to your ideas, guarantees their failure, frustration and futility. You have to find the brotherhood of those who want and welcome what you bring to it. You can't bash people over the head to appreciate what you have to offer; they have to be ready and deserving of it.
I always ask before I discriminate.
This is what it means to create a sustainable culture; one thing builds on another -- but you have to start somewhere, and then eventually it gathers critical mass, and then a life of its own.
Didn't the democrats become too left wing for Dick Lamm awhile back?
My father taught us back about the time when Dick Lamm was
Gov. that to some people we would always be a dumb Mic(Irish) or dumb Krout( German) Our ancesters who came here
legally during the potato famine in Europe were discriminated in many circles -and had to earn their right to be called Americans. The set aside all things they left behind to become Americans. The problem with so many from Mexico is they have No desire to learn our language -or respec tour borders,nor to be part of our culture-but want Americans to embrace the country they left seeking a
better life.So I think th eprofessor has the horse behind the cart in some respects.
I am surprised they wouldn't print this article, it makes a lot of sense. In fact, this is what the former basketball player Charles Barkley said in an interview on NPR recently--that blacks must reform their culture and stop blaming racism. He didn't say there wasn't racism--he said that black kids should get an education, not have kids they can't afford, try to aspire to be doctors, lawyers, teachers rather than sports and rap stars and principally that they should not be ashamed of good diction and good education, Apparently he has written a book, and I was very impressed by his eloquence. Believe Bill Cosby is saying much of the same thing.
only a democrat or a minority could say such things without fear of being called a ....
