Will George W. work for
a color-blind America?
Michelle Malkin

I WANT A PRESIDENT who opposes racial discrimination by the government with every fiber of his being.

Yes, it's personal. My future children will be full-blooded Americans of half-Filipino, half-Russian Jewish descent. I want them to grow up, go to school, get jobs, and raise their own children in a country where they will not be penalized for their race or forced to identify their ethnicity in order to achieve their dreams.

Great post, Richard. Thanks for bringing it to FR.

It is my firm belief that the professed value of "diversity" is fraudulently used because no other rationale is allowed by the Court. It is a fig leaf and nothing more than a legally sanctioned excuse to discriminate. More significantly, however, granting any agency of government the authority to use race, color or national ancestry to "create diversity", fundamentally contradicts that precious principle of equal treatment under the law for every person. I submit to you that the "diversity" rationale and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment are incompatible. They cannot coexist. To allow the use of race as "one among many factors" is to renounce all for which our nation stands.

And let that be the end to this 'reparations' absurdity! How very inane, to pay reparations from taxpayer funds built by all races and creeds, to a select few whining for 'payoffs'. But then, it is the democrat imperative to foster division and racial strife, in order to empower their party for turnout. No matter that such a methodology destroys the nation and denegrates any minority for which such tactics appear necessary. [Ward, how about stepping over there and slapping some consciousness into John Conyers, please.]
