General Casey's Diverse Army (all we have in common is our differences)

Casey is your typical bureaucratic general. By that I mean he’s an ass. Diversity has had nothing to do with America’s ascendency as the most wealthy and stable of all government’s in the world—at least up to now.

In fact, the root word of diversity is “divide” and that is exactly what the worship of diversity does—it divides. It pits men against women, and ethnic groups against ethnic groups. That not done for some constructive reason. It is done to divide and conquor with the end game government control of the population.

What made this country great is the absense of a class system, individual opportunity and rewarding inventiveness and ingenuity. It did this by taking in the best and brightest of all cultures and then melting them into a homogeonous whole—the so-called melting pot. At some point immigrants earned their citizenship and became Americans—not hyphenated Americans.

Certainly all nationalities have openly celebrated the best things pertinent to their various heritages for as long as they’ve been coming here. But they came to America because it offered them a way to improve their lot in life that was not available to them in their birth nations. They came here to be Americans—not to morph America into where ever they came from. There would be no point in coming here in the first place if that was one’s goal.

Political Correctness:

”A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.

Unless stopped – and soon – PC will DESTROY Western Civilization -- if it hasn’t already.

PASS IT ON!!

THEN PASS THE KOOL AID!!

Mr(sic) Casey you should have been fired already.

He already was fired by Bush. He was replaced from the command in Iraq by General Patreaus who led the surge and straightened out Casey's mess. He probably will be left in place until he retires since he spouts the Obama lines every chance he gets.

I wasn’t aware that the politically correct celebration of “diversity” was supposed to include murderous jihadis.

Diversity became a buzzword amongst the brass during Clinton’s regime, circa 1997.

It started well before then. It was well in process by 1984-6. My own thesis is that it was picked up from Academia by 0-5/0-6 grade officers serving as Professors of Naval/Military Science at ROTC Units who then rotated back to military graduate schools like Command & General Staff College and the Pentagon and brought the diversity meme back with them like a STD.

Thanks, interesting.

I know several senior field grades who were fairly disgusted with the concept circa mid 90s, having been recently introduced to the term then.

All will not be bliss, that’s for sure.
