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.

Mohammed's military tribunal was already under way when Obama came into office, stopped the proceedings and, eight months later, announced that Mohammed would be tried in a federal court in New York.Read the rest at AnnCoulter.Com
BUMP! and PING!
AG Holder needs to be removed from office.
I’m looking to see who will be the one to stand up in congress and demand it. Senator Wilson, can we count on you?
She kills me.
Homerun for my Annie
This is simply an Ann Coulter classic. One of her best. Maybe her very best. She is such an expert at perceiving what the emperor is wearing, or isn’t wearing.
Ann rocks.
mmmm...Chocolate Pudding
If I had been in charge this scum bag general would already be in civvies.
Gen. Casey - Stuck on stupid. I think that fits.
Well, you know what they say: “Nicolas Cage is a two-cycle engine.”
Her every sentence is a knife in the heart of liberalism!
You gotta love it!

I LOL’d that one!

Ann JUST SHUT UP!
Ann did a great job of slandering those with questions about Obama’s eligibility.
Personally, I WILL NEVER BUY ONE OF HER BOOKS AGAIN!
With all due respect to General Casey - who has served honorably - isn’t diversity the very antithesis of the military model? Why is it that the first thing done to recruits when they enter training is that they are all given the same haircut and the same clothes to wear? Why is it that the recruits are indoctrinated from day one with the mantra that race, ethnicity, and gender are to be ignored and you are to react to your fellow soldiers as soldiers, not blacks, whites, Italians, Jews, etc.?
It seems to me the military is an exercise in minimizing diversity, not celebrating it. That is why the military is the very model of teamwork.
The fact is, the military should have cashiered the Fort Hood murderer because he was not on the same page as the command. Not only was he not on the same page, he was in a different library!
