You do realize that the two shortest companion volumes in the library are "Great and Noble Accomplishments of the Far Right Fringe" and "Great and Noble Accomplishments of the Far Left Fringe"?
Lessee, your ideological forebears have a solid identification with the following events in history: opposition to a strong Federal Government, the Whiskey Rebellion, opposition to the Louisana Purchase, the Confederacy, opposition to the Alaska purchase, opposition to American involvement in the Great War, isolationism before WWII, promulgation of Jim Crow laws, membership in the Dixiecrats, opposition to civil rights and desegregation.......

" ......What in hell is a Diversity Director ... ."
EVERY large campus has a Diversity Director (titles vary, but same thing) .. their role is to see that the campus has its designated % of minority students, that the campus has sensitivity programs so the designeess are not in any way offended, that the designees do not fail in their courses, that anyone offending said designees is expelled from the campus, that companies and institutions recruiting at the campus are directed to the said designees, and that the designees are comfortable on the campus. Got it?
Now, are you going to apply for the job ????

"It's one thing to talk about liberals or conservatives," said Kerry Kite, CU's diversity director. "There's a big difference to come out and crack jokes that have some sort of meaning. But to just defame other cultures and ethnicities is just plain ignorant."

"You do realize that the two shortest companion volumes in the library are "Great and Noble Accomplishments of the Far Right Fringe" and "Great and Noble Accomplishments of the Far Left Fringe"? The shortest volume of all is, "Great and Noble Accomplishments of the Mushy Moderates (Subtitled: Great Moments in Mediocrity)". It's right up down there with "Living A Moral Life," by Bill Clinton and "How To Win Big," by Al Gore.

Profile: Angel David Nieves, Ethnic Studies
Students in courses taught by Angel David Nieves, assistant professor in the department of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, are tackling contemporary - and often controversial multicultural issues across a variety of disciplines.
Nieves is a trained researcher and teacher in the fields of anthropology, women's studies, (is that gay, or what?) architecture, American history and African American history and literature. He synthesizes these areas of expertise in interdisciplinary courses on race, gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity and research methods across the fields of ethnic studies, women's studies, Black studies and geography.
Kerry Kite, president of the CU-Boulder Black Student Alliance and an ethnic studies major, (what job does this possibly qualify you for?) has taken classes with Nieves each semester since his arrival, primarily because of his energetic, passionate and candid teaching style.
"Professor Nieves has taught me the importance of individuality and education," Kite said. "To have a professor push and encourage you to explore and work hard is empowering. He is an inspiration to us all and gives new meaning to the definition of a hero and a mentor."
Nieves has learned that many students come to campus with an uneven view of American history and he uses artifacts such as a "Mammy" doll from the movie "Gone with the Wind," as well as authentic slave chains, to bring historical, abstract experiences to life.
"Most students don't understand how significant 400 years of enslavement of African Americans in the United States has been, and still is, in issues of race relations and democracy," he said. "Some students may have never met a person of color before coming to the Boulder campus. Historical objects help to explain the legacy of racial inequality in this country and promote discussion on how it plays out in places like Boulder today."
Nieves believes that CU-Boulder students want to be tested and engaged and he is interested in constantly challenging them, as well as being an advocate for them. "I always felt that in my own education I never had anyone who looked and acted like me and had similar cultural experiences," he said. "I felt that there needed to be more faculty of color in American higher education and I wanted to contribute."
Nieves describes his identity as Latino and Newyorican, a first-generation Puerto Rican born in New York, who embraces his African heritage. He speaks Italian, Spanish and Swahili. (hahaha how well does he speak Swahili?) He joined the CU-Boulder faculty last year. In addition to his teaching duties, he serves as director of the Center for Studies of Ethnicity and Race in America, or CSERA, which is housed in the department of ethnic studies.
For more information on programs and courses offered by the department of ethnic studies, call (303) 492-8852 or visit the Web site at http://www.colorado.edu/EthnicStudies.

I always enjoyed her until she said (after hearing about soldiers complaining in Iraq) "they're just worried about getting their hair mussed up a little" Won't forgive her for that and don't listen to her anymore.

I DID click, and here's who I got the bio for: Ageno Otii
Director of State Affairs
That is the listing for the CU student union, not the campus staff/faculty ... on most campuses there a paid staffer with a corresponding job, albeit with more 'responsibility'

Could you privide a link to those books you like to refer to. I suspect they are figments of your imagination. So are you asking me if I realize that your opinion is fact?
BTW.. my ideological forebears have done somehting your middle of the road group could never do: they developed an entire country based upon freedoms and God given rights for each person. When you get that point through your head we can talk about other things.

From the Democrat Playbook: Diversity Director = Thought Police
Sort of the equivalent to the "Block Committee" or Block Chairman in Mao's China. To enforce party rule, ferret out anti-government activities and thought.

I've never heard her say ANYTHING like that. All I've heard her say is that she swoons for soldiers because they maker feel like a girl unlike the girly boys on the left.

Yes, I've heard her say the nice things. The other remark came after she had heard about the soldiers complaining and I believe she made it on Chris Matthews show and it may have been his Saturday show - not sure - but she did say it. I usually enjoy her off the cuff remarks but sure didn't like that one - it wasn't even cute.
