It looks like Sarah is rolling out a bus trip this Memorial Day weekend to kick off her campaign.It's called the "One Nation Tour" and she will touch on all of the historic sites. (I hope she has been brushing up on her history. We wouldn't want her visiting the Liberty Bell in Wilmington.)
She also claims that she is going to be rolling with the "Rolling Thunder" folks, just to show what a true red white and blue loving patriot she is. But a funny thing happened on the way to Sarah's hog ride; the "Rolling Thunder" folks say that they didn't invite her.
"She wasn't invited. We heard yesterday she came out with a press release she was coming to Rolling Thunder," Ted Shpak, national legislative director of Rolling Thunder, told "Andrea Mitchell Reports." Shpak is one of three members of Rolling Thunder's current leadership who says he had no idea Palin was coming until it was posted on her website. " [source]
Whoops.
Oh well, I suppose that Sarah has to get out of the house. I know that her daughter is driving her crazy with this jungle fever stuff these days.
Sticking to my wingnut politician theme; I see that another republiclown has been caught throwing stones while living in a glass house.
**Rick [I should be in a] Sanitarium owes taxes on his Pennsylvania home, and he has had a lien filed against him. That is not a good look for someone who likes to preach to use about fiscal responsibility. But we shouldn't be surprised. Not when we see another wingnut pol running up a half a million dollar tab with Tifanny's and not think about paying it back until he is called on it. (Expect more on Mrs. Newt's jewelry fetish. Something about lobbyist and shady deals.)
Finally, I have one more wingnut polit-trickster to call out: This one is from the "land of Lincoln", and he, like so many others of his kind, believes that his O ness was elected to be president of these divided states because of "white guilt" and his black skin.
"Why was he elected? Again, it comes back to who he was. He was black, he was historic. And there's nothing racist about this," Walsh told Slate's Dave Weigel in an interview. "It is what it is. If he had been a dynamic, white, state senator elected to Congress he wouldn't have gotten in the game this fast. This is what made him different." [Source]
Oh boy, the poor white man again. He just can't catch a break.

Sorta kinda OT but you have given me permission to do so. This is my biggest problem with Republicans, they ignore obvious problems within their party and blame others for not wanting to party with them. I mean who in their right mind thinks Palin is anything but a twobit media personality? In any real political party she wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a presidential debate except in the audience. This is a party in which if you let on you believe in science over downhome religion you will be in the dog house. As far as Black folks in the GOP the two Steeles are obviously two of the smartest people in the entire party, which is like being the smartest kid in special ed but I digress, these brothers should be leading presidential candidates instead of mascots relegated to making appearances on the Rachel Maddow show and writing books that no one will read. Mike should have two shows on Fox and Shelby should be on Meet the Press evey week but instead they have Hannity and Bachmann. Really? And folks have the audacity to wonder why I don't like them? I COULD be a Republican if the would A. read a science book B. show a little unity with labor and stop trying to outsource my job and everyone elses C. stop being so damned childish with your patriotism, we get it you really like America you don't have to sing the national anthem 8 times a day and wear a flag D. stop being so religious and hypocritical, I woudn't mind you doing such freaky stuff if you didn't make others feel bad about doing it too and E. kinda similar to D but just come out of the closet already because we already know what time it is. Now nowhere in my reasons for not voting for Repubs is my desire for handouts thankyouverymuch.
“I think that’s wonderful,” said Gerri Tramel, president of one of Rolling Thunder’s Tennessee chapters. “Anybody that’s involved — Republican, Democrat, independent, whatever — if you’re involved with our veterans, I think that’s wonderful. Not just Sarah Palin — anyone that’s a politician.”
“If she wants to support the troops, we’re all for it,” said Greg Benson, president of Rhode Island’s Rolling Thunder chapter.
Asked how Palin came to be involved with the rally, Rolling Thunder spokeswoman Nancy Regg said, “I honestly don’t know.”
“I’m not the person that invited her,” she said. “We send letters to people all the time and invite them. We invited her to ride, she has accepted and she and her husband have both agreed to ride for us.”
Your Democrat masters are making you look bad field.

Talking about the Democrat plantation mentality that 89& of you blacks folks have----well we're not blaming---we're here to help you.Stop being a victim.FREE YOUR MIND.......

Yet you allowed Jimmy Carter,Joe Edwards,and Michael Dukakis party donw with you.
Whats that about UFO sightings and swamp rabbits?
Another thing,if Sarah is nothing more than a 2 bit player,why are you on the left obssesed with her?
This is a party in which if you let on you believe in science over downhome religion you will be in the dog house.

Don't you belong to a party that hypes hoax after hoax and bitch because no one believes you anymore?

Who's outsourcing your jobs these days?That be the Obama and the Dems.Yet you will still vote for them.
Your hypocrisy is endless and your reasons are lame.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!
Bob Marley
You want examples Slapnuts? Look right here on this blog or any conservative blog and what you just did yourself. My mind is as free as anyone elses and I gave you reasons but instead of admitting to these shortcomings you give Democratic examples. Irony is lost on conservatives. Now as far as my biggest point you and the rest of conservatives have jumped on the "hoax" bandwagon while not having any science to back up your claim climate change is a hoax. There is no way to tell what exactly will happen to our climate due to increased levels of CO2 but there are studies tp suggest the average global temp will increase. That being said how many Republicans don't believe in evolution? How many Republican presidential candidates don't believe in evolution? Can you answer that question without the standard "well the Democrats........" there is a reason only 7% of scientists identify as Republicans and it ain't because of the excuse I saw here "they are afraid to lose their jobs".
As far as outsourcing it is the Republicans attempting to sign the Open Skies agreement with Europe that would allow foreign airlines to fly domestic routes and thus eliminating thousands of American jobs, mine included. As a senator Barack and other Dems actually helped stop Bush from signing it into law. Are those good enough examples? How about the many Republican state legislatures trying to discredit evolution in favor of religious explanations of biological life. That ain't Dems doing that is it?
As far as my point about the Steeles you have to admit they are two of the smarter people in the GOP yet get less attention and support. Look at what happened to Mikey, he got voted out in favor of a nobody. And you fell for the "hoax" line from people who don't even understand 3rd grade science. If you have a PhD in Climate Science and have done studies I'll listen a bit more when you call something a hoax but I'm just guessing you don't so don't feel bad if I lean towards believing the science and not senator James Mountain Inhoff like most Republicans.
http://www.energynow.com/video/2010/12/10/how-see-future-salt-marsh
Here is an episode of Energy Now in which Patrick Megonial a biogeochemist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center explains how his multi year experiment may be able to predict the future climate and how it will warm due to high levels of CO2.
Of course Mountain Inhoff will call his research a hoax but maybe those who understand scince will learn something.
"Another thing,if Sarah is nothing more than a 2 bit player,why are you on the left obssesed with her?"
I love this narrative. Once again conservatives not taking credit for creating this monster and keeping her 15 minutes going. I for one would LOVE for her to go away and never be heard from again but it ain't liberals giving her her own show and making movies about her dumb ass. I guess I can ask why are you obsessed with Obama. The logic you people employ is perplexing. No wonder so many candidates in the GOP are not so bright. Even Governor Krispy Creme had to distance himself from science to stay relevant. Sad when no serious contender in the GOP can admit to believing in evolution. And you say my mind isn't free? But for the record I'm not a Democrat either but it'll be frosty in Hades when I pull the lever for the insane party.
James Inhoff is exposing fraud and lies.See thats what happens when you have a agenda instead of facts.You have to lie and invent--just like that preacher who predicted the end of the world.
How many end of earth,end of ice caps,and end of time predictions have we gotten from the so called "scientists"?Is Al Gore's doomsday clock still running?Less that 4 years left? Will Obama finish his second term before the earth dies?
Do some research.Doesn't take a climate scientist to do that.
Oh how i pitty you.Its always a great day when you learn something.
Quick now-------
Compare 2 leftwing and 2 rightwing blogs for say a week.Say Redstate and Ace of Spades on the right,Think progress and Daily kos on the left.
Compare Media Matters to Newsbusters.
Who are the authors writing all those SP books?
Watch a week of MSNBC and FOX NEWS.
Watch all those late night shows.
See the errors in your thinking?It takes 2 to tango.SP wouldn't be half of what she is without the help of you on the left.
Yes the left creates godzilla that always destroys their tokyo.
Far has outsourcing, who do you think is making all those wind turbines?If you look you might find a made in China sticker.
Field, what's with the "finger quotes" around "fair and balanced"? It's okay to be fair and balanced isn't it?
RIP Gil Scott-Heron!
James Inhoff is exposing something? That's news to me. Yeah, you're right it doesn't take a scientist to do research into climate, all it takes is a wingnut and a dimwit senator. It takes years, sometimes decades to see the effects of present day conditions so how can anything be exposed as a fraud? Oh that's right, conservatives don't understand the scientific method.
Um, to answer you question who is it showing up at SP rallies? She is a f'ing contributor on Fox and she is a leading presidential candidate for the Republicans. Who is it paying hundreds to hear her spew her idiocy? It ain't liberals, we tend to not like stupid unlike conservatives who seem to like theirs raw.
James Mountain Inhoff is exposing those evul scientists......ha! And you want me to join your dumbass party?
Still didn't answer my question about which party has more evolution deniers but hey I don't expect an answer.
http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/gop-controlled-tennessee-house-passes-anti-evolution-bill/
Shocking. Why do Republicans hate science?
"Do some research.Doesn't take a climate scientist to do that."
And where praytell do you do your research? The Drudge Report? I actually study meteorology and one of my professors is a recognized climatologist so I know a bit about the research thanks. But hey why let facts get in the way of a political agenda.
On the same note conservatives have been attacking science for years because it threatens their religious base. Cast scientists and experts as having an agenda and recognize downhome religious folks as having "common sense" and superior to the elites and their booklearning. This is how they can keep their rural anti-science base. Nothing new, the dumb crowd will always have their foot in the GOP tent.
James Mountain Inhoff is exposing those evul scientists......ha! And you want me to join your dumbass party?
Actually, no. You are not good enough.

PilotX must have diarrhea of the fingers tonight.
Field I don't like that photo of Sarah. She has much better looking legs than the ones you are showing. What's up with that?
Secondly, Sarah IS going to be a big player in the 2012 Presidential election. And let me put it out there for you leftist FN posters:
"Sarah is a lot smarter than you think she is." Now, THINK on that.
Finally, I wish you would put your R chasing shoes in the closet when it comes to Sarah. She is not a racist, just a politician. She won't make a big deal out of the show her daughter is in. And "IF" her daughter is dating a black guy Sarah won't mind as long as Bristol is happy.
You so-called liberal leftists are projecting your own racism.
mr field, harold camping has recalculated the Rapture. the new date is oct 21. as you can see, he was a few months off from the "actual" date. imo, he wasn't that far off considering those things are difficult to determine.
thank goodness for camping. btw, you now have a few extra months to redeem yourself before a mean-spirited tornado drops out of the sky on Philly and raze it to the groung. you and your fn cronies had better start praying and going to church.
btw, eddie long has settled out of court. i bet he has a lot to preach about oct 21. get ready field. please pocket your pride and pray.

R.I.P. Gil. One of my earliest and most enduring musical heroes.
This is one of those deaths that's just very hard to get my head around, it's going to be a while before this fully sinks in. I feel like I've lost a personal friend.
So many of my musical heroes have died recently. The rest of you - Bobby, Shuggie, Smokey, Winston - please take very good care of yourselves.
PC, ur tyme is nearing...oct 21. of course no one in uk will be ready.
You know, it's true. "Politicians", whether Repubs or Dems, are only in the business of money, game & perks. They could really care less about the tax payre, or payee.
To prove me wrong:
Let's make all our repreentatives stricttly on the "care" & "pension" systems they impose on us, the tax payer.
Until that happens...nothing will ever change.
Why is this not insisted upon?
Because we are all sheep.
"PC, ur tyme is nearing...oct 21. of course no one in uk will be ready."
Yes, we are all going to die on my wife's birthday, that's rather appropriate.
I must say that I am pleased that your God has postponed armageddon till after the end of the cricket season, that very decent of him.
Please pass on my thanks for that when you see him, he's obviously a Bears fan, like me.

What a sad little man you are, no slapzz
pilotX spouts:
There is no way to tell what exactly will happen to our climate due to increased levels of CO2...
That statement is the only true statement on the topic of Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever the catch-phrase will become next.
...but there are studies tp suggest the average global temp will increase.
The are studies -- by credible scientists -- that suggest or indicate any conclusion about any topic that comes to mind.
Meanwhile, the key word is SUGGEST. Not PROVE. Moreover, none of the gasbag Global Warmist scientists qualify their SUGGESTION with a statement about their CERTAINTY or CONFIDENCE of the outcome.
Responsible scientists give odds or percentages. Even the weatherman says "there's a 50% chance of rain today.
When data SUGGESTS a possible outcome, that means the PERCENTAGE likelihood that such an outcome will occur is a lot less than 50%. In other words, things won't happen are predicted.
Is that news when the prediction involves an outcome that's 100 years down the road?
Meanwhile, it's amusing to recall the history of predicting Doomsday. Since Scottish economist Thomas Malthus predicted global starvation in 1800, warnings about widespread, MAN-MADE catastrophes have been a huge hit.
Malthus believed we would outrun our food supplies. But in more recent decades, the Overpopulators have argued that the world would run short of many additional resources that would bring additional misery and death to humanity.
Well Malthus was sharing his well developed thesis, the globla population was ONE BILION. Today it's almost 7 BILLION and demographers are predicting 9 BILLION by mid-century. But talk of food-shortages has disappeared.
In any case, the 1.3 BILLION people in India want cars, trucks, airplanes, buses and trains. The 1.3 BILLION people in China want the same.
Both nations are delivering. Thus, no matter what happens in the US, global oil consumption will rise.
The existence of cars is evidence of growing prosperity. Thus, the only way to reduce the number of cars on the road is to reduce prosperity.
The only ideology that seeks a permanent return to a primitive past is Islam.
Based on the beliefs of the people in his cult, our former vice president should change his name to Imam al-Gore.
purple cow has a blog:
Your Own Personal Jihad
The cow claims:
Jihad means 'struggle' rather than 'holy war' as is often quoted.
No. It means "holy war", the war Islam is waging against all non-muslims. Yes, it's a "struggle" for the muslims in this war. But it's what they do.
Meanwhile, I'm amused at your word-play. A term has been defined by 1,400 years of Islamic deeds, but nitwits like you suggest there's some generic meaning to the term.
Nitwits like you would make the same claim about being "generic" when discussing Hitler's Mein Kampf.
Yeah, you'd say it's not just a Nazi thing, it's everyone's struggle.
You should mix the two. Mein Jihad.
I've got a feeling that sums up your world-view.

Lost their jobs? Not exactly. Science, especially at the academic level, the university ivory tower level, is a game of who's your buddy.
Thus, getting hired, getting tenure and getting funding are all tied to one's personal views.
However, when it comes to commercial scientists, let's say, those developing drugs for Pfizer, or those developing microprocessors for Motorola, you can't find anyone making 100-year predictions about the weather OR making predictions about what's ahead in their own areas of expertise.

Microwave Mommy found guilty and sentenced to life.
China Arnold was accused of putting her baby in a microwave and turning it on after a fight with her boyfriend in August 2005. Medical experts testified at the trial that the girl was likely in the microwave for more than two minutes “She was cooked,” one former medical examiner testified, according to WLWT.
Arnold’s supporters gathered for a rally on Wednesday, claiming that her conviction was an unjust result of racism.
What, racism? Oh, I didn't know she was Black until then.
PilotX, why bother with these flat earth folks?
Slappy you said you are an engineer. Are you a PE? And where do you work? Just curious.
And now to the white mommy news:
Felicia Rae McClure, 32, a Salt Lake City mom tried to sell her 13-year-old daughter's virginity to a man for $10,000, cops said.

I do not care to hear about Bristol Patin's used up and knocked about vagina. However, anticipating the political comedy that will soon manifest on behalf of dimbulb insipid Sarah is much more entertaining. And I'm crossing my fingers that Tina Fey will have a speedy and short maternity leave.

This passage of your post is almost completely nonsensical, poor even by your usual wretched standards of English usage. Perhaps you would like to translate it into English sometime ? Then perhaps I might respond.

So in other words, the polar opposite of you and the Islamists.
Aye, there's the rub. The Islamists in :L Qae'da that you claim to hate have almost exactly the same world view as you.
They hate atheists - just like you.
They hate Socialists and Communists - just like you.
They are creationists - just like you.
They oppose abortion in all circumstances - just like you.
They hate black people - just like you.
They do not believe in Socialized medicine - just like you.

They do not believe in freedom of expression, for anyone but a tiny privileged elite - just like you.

Field,
I want to thank you for the valuable service you provide here.
There is so much info here to be gleaned in order to keep my family safe.
For example, had it not been for "Pilot X", I would not have known that United puts diversity ahead of safety. I have a client who is a major event/conference planner, and have convinced them that NOT to contract in the future with United.
Since I am now aware that US flagged carriers have buckled under the "diversity" demands, I personally no longer fly US flagged carriers. I fly quite frequently for business -- and have found a great small company which will charter flights to Toronto (YYZ) so we can use non-US carriers for international flights. It is slightly more expensive, but you know, "safety first".
Secondly, thank you for your referrals in the sidebar. Because of FN, I found "SBPDL", then Occidental Dissent, then AmRen. It has really opened up my eyes. I didn't realize McDonalds, P&G, J&G have gone "365Black". It has been a very easy adjustment to boycott these companies and these products, and by extension, their offensive, racist, anti-white attitudes. It hasn't taken much effort to let others know that these companies are anti-white and bigoted. I am sure that the "minority dollars" they are chasing will more than make up for the lost, reliable, revenues from race-aware whites.
Again, I don't think you realize what a valuable service your blog provides. For a few minutes each week, I can keep abreast of the latest race-shakedowns and adjust my buying/support accordingly. It has given new energy to the movement to defund social programs which benefit and support generational black indolence.
I think as more whites become race-aware, they will begin to understand we can have excellence and achievement (we could go to Mars!) or we can have Black America.
We can't have both. The time of choosing is here.
"However, when it comes to commercial scientists, let's say, those developing drugs for Pfizer, or those developing microprocessors for Motorola, you can't find anyone making 100-year predictions about the weather OR making predictions about what's ahead in their own areas of expertise"
Slapzz, it's the job of a climatologist to understand what's happening in our atmosphere and what future effects our present activities will have. Don't get so wrapped up with Al Gore and other non-scientists who have made dire predictions of global catastrophe. I prefer to stick with real science which does suggest that there is a good possibility of climate change due to our advanced levels of CO2. There will be a change in climate due to human interaction but the question is how much and how soon and since the atmosphere is so complex and fragile we don't have any idea of what exactly will happen but we are making advances in having at least some answers but you are correct there is no way to know 100% of what these effects will be. My point is I will trust serious scientists who are making honest attempts to understand and not a grandstanding senator who like most of his party believes the earth is only 7,000 years old. Who do you trust more.
BTW when a meteorologist says there is a 50% chance of rain that isn't a 50-50 guess it's her opinon about how much of the area will get precip and how favorable the conditions are for precip.

"For example, had it not been for "Pilot X", I would not have known that United puts diversity ahead of safety. I have a client who is a major event/conference planner, and have convinced them that NOT to contract in the future with United."
And I have learned that there is a high level of stupid racists who have no clue of what they are talking about. Sad there are still racists who look up front to see if a white guy is flying no matter how superior the skills or knowledge a non-white male may have. This is the same type of individual who mourns the loss of white male priviledge. Yes, tell your racist event planner we don't look like the KKK in 2011 and yes we do have women and people of color flying airplanes and we will never go back to the days of hiring only white males. Yes progress is scary for folks like you but hey things change.
And if you're really concerned about safety why have all of the aircraft accidents involved white males? Seems you'd be better off with a person of color or a woman in command of your aircraft, I mean if your concern is really safety and not making a cheap racist point.
@The Purple Cow
An interesting comment from someone who is not resident in the US. Britain is finally waking up to the knowledge that "multiculturism" doesn't work.
No, Purple Cow, I think the time has come for Americans to realize Abraham Lincoln's vision: his dream was to repatriate blacks either back to Africa, or contract them to work on the Panama Canal. It was a project he spent a great deal of time and effort on. Sadly, he was assassinated before his dream could come to fruition.

No problem, I am sure that the companies you are boycotting will thank me as well.
I am guessing that they are not missing much. Just a guess.
@Pilot X:
" And if you're really concerned about safety why have all of the aircraft accidents involved white males?"
It seems that you don't know how to do your homework. Research all aircraft incidents worldwide. Standards for minorities are frighteningly low, and it translates into increased accidents. Do a little basic homework before you spew your nonsense.
It seems that whites deciding to boycott businesses that pander to minorities touched a nerve.
I've read you for weeks now, cocky and mouthy, about how great you are, how strong your union is, ad nauseum.
Now you're whining about your job being "outsourced" ? Which is it?
It would seem that, yes, you do have a lot to be worried about.
And I have pointed the event planner to a great charter service that has an outstanding track record, as well as a strong and new fleet, including cargo and multi-use platforms. They are employee-owned with profit sharing, not unionized, and 100% white. Their business is growing/booming as the skeds are dying.
lol.
@FN:
" I am guessing that they are not missing much. Just a guess. "
Yes, keep believing that. Which is why corporations are spending big $$$ on focus groups, wondering why high income whites are no longer buying their services/products.
The last one was interesting, as they kept asking over and over again what it would take for our group to begin buying their products again (being seen as more environmentally friendly, more recycled product, etc).
Two of us patiently explained that when we see blacks in their ads or bs spouting "commitment to diversity" on their website, we just assume that means our money and our patronage is not wanted/needed.
It was obvious that that was not what they wanted to hear.
Minority households, even the "higher income" ones, still only have 60% of the income and purchasing power of white households. P&G put out a video explaining their commitment to help bring up the income of minority households so they can afford to buy P&G products. However, if this effort comes at the expense of losing their existing white customer base, they are finished.
Lol.

La♥audiobooks,
Meet Talthina Jackson, a really nice black mother.
http://bossip.com/285219/the-epitome-of-a-bad-mother-2/
According to Miday, Jackson’s 14-year-old son was abused from January to August. Reports said Jackson locked her 14-year old son in his bedroom for so long he had to urinate out of the bedroom window and defecated in the closet, for fear of being hit for leaving the room. When Jackson came into the room and discovered the feces, she made him eat it and gave him a plastic bag to vomit. In another incident, prosecutors said she thought the boy had urinated on plastic that was laid out to paint, so she made him lick it up. Miday said it was actually cat urine.
Another time, Jackson got angry at the boy for feeding the cats before her, so she made him eat the rest of the cat food. He vomited in a bowl, which she made him eat as well, according to Schnatter. Jackson was arraigned on Sept. 8 and is now free on $35,000 bond. Jackson’s two teenaged sons and her 8-month-old daughter are now in foster care.

Dear Sir, after reading your comment I am quite concerned regarding your support of US companies. I oversee many major companies that would like more support from ALL Americans. Otherwise, we will lose many of them.
So, what can we do to keep you and others as a valued customer? Imo, it's not the companies it's the blogs people read and believe. however, I am quite sure it's not the case with a smart person such as you.
So, it would be helpful if you would let me know specifically what the "real" problem is?
Many thanks,

Pilot X: Yes'm it be a "US flag carrier"
Airport Authorities: No, I didnt ask you what cargo you have on board, so it carries US FLag's Oh I see you are trying to say the airline IS a US flagged carrier, not a carrier of a US flag.
Pilot X: Right bedeebeeedeeeboom. Dat what I said it be a "US Flag Carrier"
How dat sound to you Mr Muppet, dat sound bout right dere?
You didn't answer the question about fifth freedoms so I am certain management handles all of that for you.

Take a look at that last sentence and repeat it to yourself EVERY time you enter public. Skin color is NOTHING it is what you do and who you are. You however want a pass for your skin color and you are not going to get it any more. And if there is any felling to do around here you better find a tree and scratch your back on it.
By the way, you reference HS and lowlifes as if this is a common white issue. You do realize that nearly 60% of blacks are HS dropouts and cannot compete with Asians or Whites or Even Latinos.Despite decades of white america overfunding schools in an attempt to lessen the racial gap. In fact is has worsened. So where do you get this false "felling" of superiority? Are you "flessed" with understanding others are not? Please "fell" us.
mr. truthshallmakeyoufree, let me say that I am willing to hold meetings with mr. field regarding PilotX and Midnight Purple Cow's swipes at you and your whiteness- if it will help improve FN's relationship with you and others like you. I have been diligently seeking Whites like you.
Whites like Brohammas and Raineywalker have been complete utter disappointments. They don't even think like the average white privileged person. There is something wrong with those guys... We need some REAL WHITE diversity on FN blog. I believe you and no_slappz fit the bill. Don't worry, you have plenty of support from SPC who does a great job. Field pays him a minimal stipend 10 cents a post to comment. That is very generous of Field considering he doesn't pay most Whites shit.

Undoubtedly, similar preferences for lower-qualified legacy students exist at most other selective colleges and universities. And this large number of legacy students who are admitted to the nation's most selective colleges and universities does not include the additional categories of white nonlegacies who are helped in the admissions process. Typically, in addition to athletic or musical ability, there are preferences for those who are accepted because they come from a wealthy family that may become a large contributor to the educational institution.
The largest affirmative action program in American higher education is directed at the admission of the children of college and university alumni. Legacy admissions rates at some of the nation's most selective colleges and universities are as high as 75 percent of all legacies who apply to the particular institution. In most cases, the percentage of legacy applicants who are admitted is two to three times the admittance rate for students generally at the particular college or university. For example, at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, less than one third of all applicants are admitted. Yet, according to JBHE research, three quarters of all legacy applicants are admitted. At Princeton and Harvard, only about one in 10 applicants overall are admitted. But at each institution more than one in three legacy applicants are admitted.
Staunch defenders of legacy admissions state that the children of graduates who attended these elite institutions a generation or two ago are bound to be superior candidates for admission. The argument made is that almost always these legacy applicants have been brought up in highly educated households that foster good study habits and nurture their children's intellects. These legacy families are also more likely to have high incomes because their parents graduated from top-quality colleges. Therefore, children in these families are likely to have gone to the best schools, have computers in the home, have access to a wide range of books and the Internet, and are able to afford SAT test-coaching classes and private tutors.
The number of white students with substandard academic qualifications admitted each year to college on account of family legacy or financial or political influence far exceeds the number of black students that are admitted under race-conscious admissions procedures.
For example, at Harvard University the number of legacy enrollees is twice the number of all blacks who are enrolled. (See table on next page.) Moreover, data from a Department of Education Office of Civil Rights investigation of Harvard University completed in the early 1990s showed that legacy admits on average had SAT scores 35 points below the mean scores of other students admitted to Harvard. In addition, legacies had lower grade point averages and class rank and fewer extracurricular activities than nonlegacy students who were admitted to Harvard.
In investigating Harvard's legacy admissions practice the government found the following comments in applicants' files:
- "Without lineage, there would be little case. With it, we will keep looking."
- "Not a great profile but just strong enough #'s and grades to get the tip from lineage."
- "Double lineage who chose the right parents."
Each of these applicants to Harvard was offered admission.
Undoubtedly, similar preferences for lower-qualified legacy students exist at most other selective colleges and universities. And this large number of legacy students who are admitted to the nation's most selective colleges and universities does not include the additional categories of white nonlegacies who are helped in the admissions process. Typically, in addition to athletic or musical ability, there are preferences for those who are accepted because they come from a wealthy family that may become a large contributor to the educational institution.
The admissions system in American higher education has never been a strict merit system and it is unlikely that it ever will be. And, as Justice Clarence Thomas has pointed out, there is no law or constitutional provision forbidding admission of substandard performers who have the proper lineage.
The largest affirmative action program in American higher education is directed at the admission of the children of college and university alumni. Legacy admissions rates at some of the nation's most selective colleges and universities are as high as 75 percent of all legacies who apply to the particular institution. In most cases, the percentage of legacy applicants who are admitted is two to three times the admittance rate for students generally at the particular college or university. For example, at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, less than one third of all applicants are admitted. Yet, according to JBHE research, three quarters of all legacy applicants are admitted. At Princeton and Harvard, only about one in 10 applicants overall are admitted. But at each institution more than one in three legacy applicants are admitted.
JBHE asked the nation's 25 highest-ranked universities and 25 highest-ranked liberal arts colleges to provide information on their legacy acceptance rates. Only half of the colleges and universities were willing to provide this information. It may be expected that the colleges and universities that did not reply had legacy acceptance rates significantly higher than the average.
At 24 of the 25 colleges and universities, the legacy admittance rate was higher -- and in most cases substantially higher -- than the overall acceptance rate. The only exception was Harvey Mudd College in California. There, the overall acceptance rate was 2.2 percentage points higher than the rate for legacy admits.
Do Legacies Have Superior Qualifications?
Staunch defenders of legacy admissions state that the children of graduates who attended these elite institutions a generation or two ago are bound to be superior candidates for admission. The argument made is that almost always these legacy applicants have been brought up in highly educated households that foster good study habits and nurture their children's intellects. These legacy families are also more likely to have high incomes because their parents graduated from top-quality colleges. Therefore, children in these families are likely to have gone to the best schools, have computers in the home, have access to a wide range of books and the Internet, and are able to afford SAT test-coaching classes and private tutors.
While these arguments indeed have merit, they do not explain the discrepancies in acceptance rates between legacy applicants and applicants in general. In fact, as mentioned earlier, there is solid direct evidence that legacy admits are generally academically inferior to other students admitted to top-quality universities.
Who Benefits From Legacy Admissions Policies?
When will there be enough black alumni so that blacks too can achieve legacy priority comparable to whites? A recent study by Cameron Howell, a researcher at the University of Virginia, found that it would take 17 years for the alumni base of the university to reach a point where the alumni body would be 9 percent black, equivalent to the present percentage of the student body that is black. This study assumes that the university would continue to admit blacks in high numbers over the next 17 years. But the fact is that black enrollments have been declining at the University of Virginia. Recall, too, that the population of the state of Virginia is nearly 20 percent black. So legacy admissions policies at the flagship state university will disproportionately accrue to whites in the state of Virginia for many decades to come.
Other Admission Preferences for Whites
Affirmative action for whites is not limited to children of alumni. More and more universities are giving special preferences to the children of the wealthy with the hope -- often misplaced -- that this will result in large donations to the university in the years to come.
Let us suppose the son or daughter of Bill Gates, Ted Turner, or Larry Ellison applied for admission to Stanford, Yale, or Dartmouth. And let's assume that the child had average or below average SAT scores and a B- grade point average. Does any reader believe that this student would be denied admission to any of the nation's leading universities?
These children of the wealthy, who are most likely white, are not merely given a preference in the admissions process. Many universities mount special outreach programs to attract these students. For example, on February 20, 2003 The Wall Street Journal, in a front-page article, outlined how the program to attract children of the wealthy works at Duke University:
Through its own network and names supplied by trustees, alumni, donors, and others, the Duke University development office identifies about 500 likely applicants with rich or powerful parents who are not alumni. (Children of major alumni donors are given similar preference in a separate process.) It cultivates them with campus tours and basic admissions advice; for instance, applying early increases their chances. It also relays the names to the admissions office, which returns word if any of the students forget to apply -- so development can remind them.
The development office then winnows the initial 500 into at least 160 high-priority applicants. Although these names are flagged in the admissions office computer, admissions readers evaluate them on merit, without regard to family means. About 30 to 40 are accepted, the others tentatively rejected or wait-listed. During an all-day meeting in March the senior vice presidents for development debate these 120 cases, weighing their family's likely contribution against their academic shortcomings. Most of the 120 are admitted.
And then there is the matter of special admission preferences for very high placed public figures or officials. Is a child of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, or Republican Conference Chair Senator Rick Santorum who happens to have mediocre academic credentials to be denied a place at most of our selective institutions? Very few institutions are prepared to offend those who can do them political harm. And almost all of the powerful politicians in this country are white.
Athletes are also given preferences in the admissions process at many of the nation's highest-ranked colleges and universities. And contrary to popular belief, a majority of all scholarship athletes at the nation's colleges and universities are white. According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, nearly 62 percent of all college students on athletic scholarship in the United States are white.

Positive stereotypes are in important ways more insidious than negative stereotypes, for the targets of these stereotypes most often embrace them. What blonde, for example, is going to acknowledge that she is not part of a more beautiful group of people, and what black man is going to readily acknowledge that he’s not more sexually endowed.
The "model minority" a theory that shifts attention from institutionalized racism to sidetrack the focus elsewhere. While it may be embraced by Asians and Hispanics/Latinos, at the same time it marginalized the oppression of Asians and Hispanic/Latinos, and places the collective failures of other ethnic minority groups on their own shoulders. It's a very effective mechanism for disciplining blacks and other groups of color. In order words, a form of control by you know who...racist whites.

Laa, "Slapnuts, you mean you had to go all the way back 2010 for another one? We are in 2011, meet Laura Lynn Hickey the Washington mother who decapitated her newborn and placed him under the kitchen sink of her trailer home. And she's a turbo breeder too."
The winner is LAA who defeated the hell out of Slapnuts so much that he was shamed and disgraced. The race wasn't even close.
"If you still want airline grammer lessons go here:

Isn't that cute, our little troll goes to airliners.net cause it wants to talk like a real pilot.
And to answer your question, yes.
Why are you fucking Niggers still bringing up slavery? WTF...Your whole race is lazy, dumb and always ready to pull the race card. Please go back to Africa or get a state just for all Niggers. Imagine that? That would be the most fucked up place on the planet earth and you know it. You Niggers wouldnt have Whitie to blame for all your problems then.
no way the last troll is real. C'mon Field stop pulling me leg. Sounds too 1964ish.

I find all these stories disturbing to read regardless of race, unlike you who replenish and rejoice from all the sorrow and misery. Racism is truly a sickness that comes in many forms.
Really???Than why did you bring race up in the first place?
Nice try.True racist always expose themselves.
But in all seriousness people like the Truth do everyone a disservice with their ignorance and racism. Anyone with a grain of sense and an ability to understand data can see U.S. Flag carriers are experiencing a never before seen level of safety going years without a fatal accident. To somehow equate a non white male presence on the flight deck with somehow compromising safety when we are trained at the same level as our white male counterparts and the data bears this out is as LAA points out just ugly racism. Sad some individuals have to go down this path and ignore reality to attempt to prove their point. One day, maybe my kids or grandkids will be measured by the content of their character. One can dream right?
I'm sorry to digress, but Field, I hit up Lee's Hoagie Shop today (its my favorite), and I'm fat and happy here off of Cottman Ave.
Anonymous, shouldn't that be a state just for caucasians? American Indians, and other peoples were already here in America long before the white man set foot on these shores.
"Really???Than why did you bring race up in the first place?"
Good question, why do you do it?
