Just watch the "Civil Rights Leadership" start demanding that Ms. Rice resign or be an "Uncle Tom".

You see a continuing difference between the Republicans and the RATS. The RATS brook no differing opinions.

Just watch the "Civil Rights Leadership" start demanding that Ms. Rice resign or be an "Uncle Tom".

But what she says in this article imunizes her from this.

In my opinion, Rice pretty much had to say what she did, given her loyalty to the President. If she endorsed pure racially-neutral policies, she would indeed then be target of a high-profile leftist campaign. And then she would take over news slots which should be given to the President's agenda.

To be clear, I do suspect that Rice, not so long ago a Stanford provost, must support some racial admissions preferences. But if she changed her mind, she would never announce it while working for Bush.

Your sentiments(which I share) contrast sharply with other posters who seem to think she (and Bush) have betrayed the conservative cause.

If we get vouchers in place so motivated kids can get out of failing schools, there will quickly be little or no need for any special consideration for minorities.

The minority kids in my kids' private school do just as well and sometimes better than the white kids. It's time to stop giving any child permission to perform below their ability, just because of melanin level or racial heritage.

They already consider her to be an "Auntie Tom", or a "house slave."
