When BLM riots in DC expect the Library of Congress to go up in smoke.

The Librarian of Congress job doesn't involve the everyday tasks of classification, just as the post of Surgeon General doesn't include surgery. They are both what you might call "cultural policy" jobs. Can do far-reaching, temporarily invisible, mischief or good.
And yet they are doing a $115 million renovation on Baltimore Central Library. They are planning on having more youth services. I don’t know if that proves or disproves your point.
I had the exact same suspicions - nowdays they prove right 90% of the time. And now with BLM terrorizing whites into appeasement, “affirmative action” will be on steroids as our country sinks into third world status.
Once again, Blunt gets it wrong. Somebody tell me what he’s good for. I will not vote for him.
How we classify things goes to the heart of cultral and institutional bias.
Exactly the kind of person needed for this job - an AA from Chicago.
She has a doctorate in Library Sciences and has worked or taught in the field all her life. I would say her skills are more than adequate.
Well I see she is “of color”, so that’s one. No mention of spouse or children, not that that means anything...
Our RINO hunt must NEVER, NEVER END!!!
They are everywhere and keep popping up where least expected.
So-called “conservatives” in Congress will teach us damned Trumpers.
“Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Too funny. Give into everything? That’s why they have the reputation of being the most obstructionist Congress in history by everyone. A little librarian getting a job is not giving into everything.
I still don’t see going nuclear over it is justified. Heck she may have the Job for six months.
I disagree, the Library of Congress keeps the written history of the country, and that's one of principles of a Progressive/Communist takeover.
Those who forget their history are destined to repeat their forgotten failures.
Isn't the Library of Congress also the repository of all laws passed through Congress, and all Executive Orders, as well ?
Wasn't there a hubbub about the wording, intent, and punctuation in the misnamed Affordable Care Act ?
Words, history and laws have meaning; so also does the possibility of re-writing history have meaning;
that is why there is currently so much discussion about the intent of the Second Amendment.
When BLM riots in DC expect the Library of Congress to go up in smoke.
The Leftist movement has long been about erasing definitions, for the sake of sowing discord and eroding fundamental structures.
In the legal field, they promote the “living constitution” movement. To them, the intent of the writers and the actual text does not matter; for them, they try to twist the words of the Constitution to suggest it supports gay marriage (when the author of the Bill of Rights, Thomas Jefferson, wanted sodomites to be castrated as punishment; the authors of the Fourteenth Amendment were also not concerned with sodomite rights).
In the academic field, the new trend is postmodernism, which has as its fundamental tenet that “nothing is true”. Empiricism is scorned in favor of ridiculous theories which cannot be fundamentally proven. This is by no means limited to the social sciences; postmodernism has also gained prominence in the hard sciences.
It is also why Leftists promote the speaking of multiple languages in cultures; clarity can be lost in translation, and clarity is the sworn enemy of liberalism. They hate the English language because of how meticulous its rules are. Ironically, despite their attempts to have more genders than the number of atoms, they seem fine with Romantic languages which use gendered nouns (such as Spanish).
Leftists are only meticulous in their hatred of decency and the truth. It is no surprise, then, that they have been determined to destroy the prestige of a profession which exists to clarify the truth.
I’d rather all libraries be private owned. It is ridiculous for taxpayers to spend a dime on libraries. They are not needed anymore. They should disappear like the quill pen.
Sounds like a great job for Sandy Burger if he was still with us. /S
The Uniparty Rules
I appreciate all libraries, whether public or private, as they encourage free thought and fight ignorace.
When libraries were privately held, it was only the aristocracy, noblemen, and clergy who could read and write, and afford books,
and most libraries were privately held by the Catholic Church and empowered only the financially affluent and the religious establishment .
Now a days, the library is a wealth of information including entertainment , educational books, tapes, DVDs, musical resources, as well as speakers, and specialty programs.
Kids born in abject poverty can use the library resources to expand their intellect and climb out of poverty;
a well designed library is an asset for home schoolers and independent thinkers,
as were many of the Founding Fathers self-taught.
