Terrific post! By the way, a long time back I posted an article from NRO about how Michelle Obama was the recipient of affirmative action and hated the fact that she had received it. Go figure! Right - Sotomayor is another affirmative action faker!

Good point. At least Hitler’s Dr. Mengele was a brilliant doctor who clearly knew what he was doing and was smart enough to escape to Argentina where he died a natural death. Chavis, on the other hand, was a butcher with no ability. And I also think you’re right that in our PC society they prefer to live in private affluence - even though things like “late term” abortions are nothing other than infanticide.

that he had been sued 21 times
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With 10,000 deliveries and thousands of abortions, 21 law suits maybe entirely within normal range for an obgyn.

I think you’re absolutely right about that and I’ll check out Sowell’s books. Thanks for the recommendations - I wish I knew more about economics. Best,

Obgyns who deliver babies are sued an average of 2 to 3 times (2.53 to be exact, but it is hard to be sued .53 times) over their carreers: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=51348 Doesn’t sound like much, but these account for 25% of all malpractice payouts. (Same link.)

21 times is WAY outside the norm...

Diversity is not doing much for corporate America. Try talking to verizon wireless customer service, just as one example. It’s been my theory that the idea of “diversity” contributed to our overall economic decline. I kept this idea to myself until I heard someone else discussing it not too long ago. After all, if you’re inserting racial quotas into positions, some ultimately are bound to have strategic decision-making responsibility as they are moved higher and higher up; how can we predict their company might fare as opposed to say someone who earned the slot based upon merit, a track record of success?

I remember the Bakke case and had many an argument with liberals over it at the time it happened.

I have to disagree with you. Bozo is stupid, he is controlled by other people. His stupidity is apparent in the way he uses the teleprompter to read other people's words and how stumbling and idiotic he sounds without it. His every move is calculated, but not by him, someone behind the scenes is running him and they are the smart ones. The name George Soros pops up.

You are correct in saying that every thing is done with the purpose of bringing down America, you are incorrect in assuming that Bozo is the guiding mind behind it.

I was surprised to hear that he was dead, so I looked it up.

Seems he was killed July 23 2002 at the age of 50.

The articles are saying that it was an attempted car-jacking. My first thought that was with him being a man of wealth and driving a nice car (I would assume), couldn't he buy an ice cream cone in a better part of town? Maybe the thing is to buy an ice cream cone and on the way back see the guy standing around, that way you have a cover story for being there if someone sees you or a bust goes down.

Anyway, now his life is over and he won't be messing up any more patients or performing any more abortions, and he will now be seeing whatever judgement awaits him on the other side.

I know what you mean. I’ve concluded that such people are not really interested in what’s constitutional and common sense American fairness. It’s rather a case of pushing a personal political agenda regardless of how wrong it may be.

I completely agree. The American democratic republic is based on equality of opportunity, NOT results or outcome. We all know that this official sanctioning of racial, gender and ethnic favoritism is not only unjust but is costing us dearly in terms of our political and economic life. And, by the way, when certain minorities demonstrate their utter incompetence, their employer is afraid to terminate them for fear of a discrimination law suit. It becomes a self-perpetuating evil.
