L.A. Times Mangles History: Democrats 'Led the Passage of Civil Rights Legislation' in the Sixties?

#1  “President Obama on Wednesday described half a century of uneven progress toward colorblind justice,” as if that’s what Al Sharpton & Co are seeking, “colorblind justice.” To hear the crowds, they still want the whites to pay reparations.

Want reparations and payment? What then shall we call the so-called the 'Earned Income' tax scheme, Urban abortion centers Planned Parenthood clinics, EBT cards, free cellies, Section 8 housing, Affirmative Action job placement, free college tuition and loan forgiveness, the "right" to home ownership with no down payment, and on, and on.

Reparations are us !

Yes. And we have always been at war with Eastasia. Please see your latest MiniTrue documents and updates for more information.

White House peeved at Pentagon leaks
[POLITICO] Many of the leaks about U.S. strike plans for Syria, a copious flow of surprisingly specific information on ship dispositions and possible targets, have been authorized as a way for President B.O. to signal the limited scope of operations to friends and foes.

But a number of leaks have been decidedly unauthorized -- and, according to B.O. regime sources, likely emanating from a Pentagon bureaucracy less enthusiastic about the prospect of an attack than, say, the State Department, National Security Council or Obama himself.

"Deeply unhelpful," was how one West Winger described the drip-drip of doubt.

"They need to shut the f--k up," said a former administration official. "It's embarrassing. Who ever heard this much talk before an attack? It's bizarre."

#1  So this administration has spent five years degrading the military and giving out secrets which may have led to the shoot down of a helicopter full of top troops and also the not-rescue in Benghazi. "Your Military"? At best you are a stuttering clusterFk when off script and merely insulted both the civilian contract with government and military oath to the Constitution.

At the same time, taking an active policy of governing by leaking, cynically to set unpopular policy without fingerprints. Those in government and the military either seeking favor or just trying to figure the plan and just following the White House example.

So yeah, great idea. Throw the Pentegon under the bus. Sounds like you have some credibility issues over there already, I'm sure this leak by your unknown sources is going to really help that.

Jimmy Carter calls for Syria peace summit
[POLITICO] Former President Jimmy Carter condemned possible chemical weapons attacks in Syria, but called for a "peace conference" and working with the United Nations, rather than using a military solution. In a statement Friday from the Carter Center, the former president said that the U.N. investigation into possible chemical weapons attacks in Syria is under way and urged against action in the country without U.N. support.

Chicago Mandates Sex Education For Kindergarten
[CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] Some people may think a five-year old is too young for sex education.

Administrators with Chicago Public schools do not.

New to the curriculum this year, mandatory sexual and health education for kindergarten classes.

Like every other kindergartener, Angelina Yang is learning reading, writing, arithmetic--and now sexual health education.

"I want to know what kind of education she is receiving before she gets that education," said Angelia's mom, Stella. 'As a parent, I have a right to know."

CPS insists the curriculum will use language children understand and focus on topics like bullying, correct names for external body parts and the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching.
Nice to know that the Chicago Public School system has fixed all its other problems. Graduation rate is now 99% and the average ACT score is 34...
"As you identify body parts, you talk about should you be touched here or not.," said Stephanie Whyte, the CPS Chief Health Officer. "And if someone touches you, and it's uncomfortable, you should tell a trusted adult."

"I'm OK with it," said parent Ayesha Ahmad. "I'd like to believe it's not necessary, but I think our culture dictates you can't start early enough."

Students will also take a look at the different family structures that exist in today's society.

"Whether that means there's two moms at home, everyone's home life is different, and we introduce the fact that we all have a diverse background, " said Whyte.
They're bull horning the poor little kids as soon as they're out of diapers. And, naturally, the camel's nose is always its softest part.

#2  It's reasonable; they'll probably be teenagers before they graduate from kindergarten.
Posted by: Glenmore || 08/31/2013 1:56 Comments || Top||

#3  Because Chicago doesn't have enough feral youth running around already.

Like every other kindergartener, Angelina Yang is learning reading, writing, arithmetic--and now sexual health education.

FIFY. Those '3s' get in the way of indoctrination during the school day as far as our oligarchs are concerned.

#5  doesn't it seem that rather than doing a successful job teaching the basics to kids, the public school teachers, the admin, the unions, and the pols keep expanding the curriculum to be incompetent in even more faddish topics. Do your fucking job right before you take on additional tasks?

#6  Uncle Phester: If the pederasts gain momentum, that may just be what reveals to the general public the folly of the sexual revolution.

Oh, and hat tip to james for steering me to this poem.

#9  Uncle Phester, please note the WAPO editorial pleading the case to allow teachers to have sex with their minor students...it's no big deal and certainly not rape.

The Paedophiles will prosper in the enviorment which liberal society has built.
