AT THE END OF THE DAY, DIVERSITY HAS JUMPED THE SHARK, HORRIFICALLY
November 18, 2009
It cannot be said often enough that the chief of staff of the United States Army, Gen. George Casey, responded to a massacre of 13 Americans in which the suspect is a Muslim by saying: "Our diversity ... is a strength."
As long as the general has brought it up: Never in recorded history has diversity been anything but a problem. Look at Ireland with its Protestant and Catholic populations, Canada with its French and English populations, Israel with its Jewish and Palestinian populations.
Or consider the warring factions in India, Sri Lanka, China, Iraq, Czechoslovakia (until it happily split up), the Balkans and Chechnya. Also look at the festering hotbeds of tribal warfare -- I mean the beautiful mosaics -- in Third World hellholes like Afghanistan, Rwanda and South Central, L.A.
"Diversity" is a difficulty to be overcome, not an advantage to be sought. True, America does a better job than most at accommodating a diverse population. We also do a better job at curing cancer and containing pollution. But no one goes around mindlessly exclaiming: "Cancer is a strength!" "Pollution is our greatest asset!"
By contrast, the canard "diversity is a strength" has now replaced "at the end of the day," "skin in the game," "blood and treasure," "jumped the shark," "boots on the ground," "horrific" (whatever happened to the perfectly good word "horrible"?), "not so much," "I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here," and "that went well," as America's most irritating cliche.
We should start making up other nonsense mantras along the lines of "diversity is a strength" and mindlessly repeating them until they catch on, too.
Next time you're at a cocktail party, just start saying, "Chocolate pudding is dramatic irony" from time to time. Eventually other people will start saying it, without anyone bothering to consider whether it makes sense. Then we'll do another one: "Nicolas Cage is a two-cycle engine."
Before you know it, liberals will react to news of a mass murder by muttering, "Well, you know what they say: Nicolas Cage is a two-cycle engine," while everyone nods in agreement.
Except mere nonsense makes more sense than "diversity is a strength."
If Gen. Casey's wildly inappropriate use of this lunatic cliche in the aftermath of the Fort Hood massacre doesn't kill it, nothing will.
Among the worst aspects of America's "diversity" is that liberals' reaction to a heterogeneous population is to create a pecking order based on alleged victimhood -- as described in electrifying detail in my book, "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and Their Assault on America."
In modern America, the guilty are sanctified, while the innocent never stop paying -- including with their lives, as they did at Fort Hood last week. Points are awarded to aspiring victims for angry self-righteousness, acts of violence and general unpleasantness.

Not only was it rather late, but I had just started into my purchase the previous evening. "Going Rogue" with a rather dazzling woman on the cover. Excuses, excuses.
LOL
Thanks for having a sense of humor.
That was a grest typo.
I'm putting it in Dr. Zoo's book, "Words That Aren't But Should Be, Thypos Included"
Open your mind to other possibilities.
Think outside the box.
We are dealing with an internal enemy to whom "transparency," honesty and truth are simply impediments to the ongoing propaganda war.
Of course, there are fruitcakes too, trolls; but I think this DNC class of 2005 is a special case at FR.
re: Palin/Coulter 2012As I posted previously, THESE are the kind of "wide angle" photographs -- from the book-signing in Grand Rapids...
...that we need to get from each of Governor Palin's book tour stops.......to PROVE the large numbers of supporters that she is attracting.From Mlive.com:
Hay, where can I get one of those Ron Dog sweatshirts...?
Nice pic!
Great weapon!

Ever heard the expression, OCB?
Sorry I’m a little late to the party. Just checking in to say that wintertime is subversive troll that spouts off just to get everyone worked up.
Hey dork (wintertime) stop mucking up perfectly good threads. We know you’re only purpose is to make trouble. Take a hike.
Or be an adult with reasonably acceptable mental health, not take it personally, and move on.
And...Ann used the KKK to suggest that the “birthers” are fewer in number than those marching in a KKK parade. ( That would be a surprise to the 51% of Republicans who do not believe that Obama was born in the U.S., and a surprise to an even greater number who have doubts.)
Ann's **own** words stand against her.
I am disgusted with Ann Coulter. It is plainly evident to me that her commitment to the Constitution is a millimeter deep. She is a **user** and a poser. Conservatism is merely a prop in her act.Ho hum, there you go again.
And so are Rush, Hannity, Beck, OReilly(sick), Levine, Coulter, Malikin (haven't heard of him) and Medved according to you.
You know everytime you diss Coulter, she sells ten more books.
The chief crank Orly Taitz does SO much to lend credibility to the notion, huh?
CAn’t we just stop feeding the animals? “Wintertime” is an obvious troll and it’s only goal is to resurrect the BC issue in an effort to make the forum and conservatives look foolish.
You are not wanted here wintertime (faggy little troll name).
Get lost.
And every time you are on a Coulter thread I will be there to remind everyone you are our resident crank/troll/subversive troublemaker. Keep it up and you’ll be banned (as if you care).
She kills me.
Yes it's classic Colter!
If she really thinks Afghanistan is a “hellhole,” why does she support sending more of our blood and treasure into that quagmire?
She knows there is a solution, Obama is dithering.
Faced with persistent sabotage and an increase in guerrilla violence, the Bush administration faces unpalatable options in Iraq...
Yep. Used to hang out here a lot, until this sort of emoting over reason became so prevalent. You can't reason, argue or build a consensus with angry emoting.
During the last primary, these types were so busy arguing about the conservative purity of the conservative type candidates, that John McCain was able to clinch the nomination for the country-clubbers. Divided we fall.

RE: “...in Third World hellholes like Afghanistan, Rwanda and South Central, L.A.”
and...
“She kills me.”

Yes, south central L.A. -— the kicker is that south central ain’t what it used to be. For the most part these days, it is overwhelming latino, mostly Mexican (many illegals). Much of the black population left years ago — black flight situation not unlike white flight from other areas around the country years earlier.
