Searching for Diversity

I should probably be posting about my disagreement with a recent article by Bill Kristol in The Weekly Standard but I'm in no mood right now for that. Instead, my funny bone was tickled a little while ago while browsingthe traffic stats for my blog on Site Meter. A lot of traffic hitting my blog over the past month is coming from folks searching on "define and characterize minority groups."

I had to chuckle and shake my head in disbelief. As those of you who stop by regularly know, I'm no fan of Diversity class. I'm simply trying to finish my BS in Computer Science online and certainly don't need any indoctrination into oxymoronic Lib-speak. I get enough of that out on the street during Protest Warrior missions! The posts I've done related to those types of topics are not exactly what the instructors at University of Phoenix or Western International University will be hoping to see in an essay.

Interestingly enough, I've been contacted via email a few times for tips on the meaning of "affective prejudice." I had to wish those folks well in their understanding of it because mine was pretty simple: someone of a certain race/ethnicity does something bad; you begin to dislike that race/ethnicity for the actions of others. Most intelligent human beings know better than to blame a whole race for the actions of just a few individuals. Maybe Bubba and Skeeter need to be taken to task occasionally by Robert "KKK" Byrd but, for the most part, the rest of us are a tad smarter than that.

In the Diversity textbook, we are taught to label and group people by exactly the characteristics that we are told promote prejudice! This class is nothing short of liberal "logic" that has no use in today's society. So to all the folks doing their college work online, please know that I wish you all the best in your studies. If you're Conservative like me, you're probably pounding the Pepto Bismol with every essay you have to write. Hang in there... I've only got two more weeks of this nonsense to go; if I can do it, you can too!

As the Blog Turns...

Gee. I have found myself fascinated by the soap opera unfolding in the comments section of this blog since last night. One little mention on a controversial Democrat's blog and it's High Noon on ConservaChick! (Yes, I'm laughing while I type this.) For those of you who have no idea what's happening in the ever-expanding comments section , join the club! Here's what I know about Mark Nickolas from bits and pieces I've read on his blog, and from a local news report: Nickolas likes to sneer at Republicans and call them snide little nicknames as he provides his "Unfiltered and Candid Look at Politics, Politicians and the Media in Kentucky;" he raised a ruckus within the Democrat party here in Kentucky by filing a suit against the chairman of the party , Jerry Lundergan; and he will be appearing on the same panel with yours truly on Thursday night. That's about it. You now have the benefit of my not-so-extensive knowledge on this subject. Nickolas poste...

Friday Night with Hugh and Friends

The consummate Conservative host, Hugh Hewitt, and yours truly! Shameless of me to post this, I know; however, I'm too jazzed to care. :-p What a wonderful way to spend a Friday night! After an hour or so wandering through some of the exhibits at the Frazier Historical Arms Museum, I then got to spend three hours with Hugh Hewitt and 599 other fans of his show. I absolutely MUST say that not only was Hugh wonderful and the live show very entertaining, but his fans are absolutely the nicest people! I've seen other radio talk show s done live and mingled with fans of those shows. Hugh Hewitt's fans are the nicest, most down to earth, friendly people I've ever met. It's quite a credit to Hugh that he draws such a fan base. If you haven't been to the Frazier Historical Arms Museum here in Louisville, it's a must-see. The museum shows an amazing artistry with the exhibits and places them in the context of the times in a very entertaining and educationa...

Is conscription the prescription?

US Representative, Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is at it again. Rangel's prescription for fixing the ills we're feeling in Iraq is a draft . I have very mixed feelings about this. Conscription is conscription no matter what you choose to label it. Is that appropriate in a free country? On the flip side of this coin, I've often thought that compulsory national service would be a great idea for American kids right out of high school. It might have been a better start for me than learning to down beer at a Liberal Arts university! Two years in the service might give kids time to think about their future, learn higher levels of responsibility, and begin to take life more seriously. There are many countries who require some level of mandatory military service: Belarus, Chile, China, Croatia, Serbia, Russia, Iran, Lebanon, our neighbor Mexico, and our old buddy Germany, to name a few. Gee, now that I look at that partial list... aren't many of those countries Socialist or at battl...
