If you read Ruthie’s statement you will truly be dismayed.
She said the firefighters had no inherent right to a promotion.
It was a test for promotion. That seemed to escape her notice. And the other three joined her in that flawed logic.
And of course, the city of New Haven is better served by first-generation firefighters with no access to networks and advice than by persons raised to the purple -- in families with a willingness to die for their fellow man. Or woman. Or transgender.
Next, the civil rights industry will sue to have the children of parents with high IQs graded on a negative curve in school -- "handicapping" will deduct a grade for every 10 points of parental IQ above the lowest parental score in the commoonity. /sarc
I’m already seeing the cover strategy on TV. This wasn’t her own opinion, she just had to enforce the law and precedent, her hands were tied.
I hope you are right.
Yes, I know about FDR - nonetheless, I don’t put any ploy past the Democrats... including court stacking.
Why try. It’s easier to lower the expectation level to the lowest level. Then you do not have people that think for themselves.
Good! I’ve always had a problem with the dichotomy between “America the Diverse Melting Pot” and “America the Home of Minority Entitlement.”
I’ve done pretty good for myself and never once did I have to rely on the fact that my great-grandparents came here from a Latin American country, giving me a beneficial last name, to get a bump-up over other people. Hell, I don’t even speak Spanish - it just seems lazy to use it to my advantage.
LOL! That’s a classic!!
>> no inherent right to a promotion
Of course not, there isn’t such a right, that’s why you have a test, a merit system, testing your knowledge to see if you have the smarts to be promoted.
Pardon me, but there’s no way I’ll read that opinion. PO’ed enuff as it is that the case was this close.
And plus, I wanna read every word about MJ (Gag!
.
LOL! Good musical theme - The firefighters in New Haven will love this -
Excellent potlatch!
You’ve got Obama’s jaw twitching and Sotomayor’s eyes flickering!
Welcome to FR, fellow resident of the People’s Republic of Merlin.
Thank god, but if she was there it would have a different headline.
She needs to be removed from the pick.
It would be nice if Hispanic race hustlers would note that Sorosmayor put Hispanic firefighters at a disadvantage.
Can’t wait to read those opinions.
Because the "bunny with a pancake on its head" thing is getting old?
It was waiting for a recent ruling that everyone was talking about.
Far worse than that. The official agenda seems to be to demonize dissenters so they can be suppressed, which is why we're seeing all of those strange reports and statements issued by DHS (Napolitano) and state level agencies (the notorious MIAC report, later withdrawn). Make no mistake--this is the official Fed agenda, approved and supported by the Obambi thugocracy.
Gentlemanly dissent is no longer useful. Far stronger measures will be required.
And here I keep thinking we're one vote from civil war and secession.
So if a professional basketball team is majority black, the selection process is discriminatory? hmm...
