Speaking a couple years ago about technology and education, Apple CEO and founder Steve Jobs said that technology wouldn’t matter as long as you can’t fire teachers. “I believe that what is wrong with our schools in this nation is that they have become unionized in the worst possible way,” he said. Jobs likened schools to running a small business that he said could never succeed if you can’t hire and fire. Reasonable? I think so. Read more »

Has America evolved to the point where the government no longer needs to know your race? Not according to the U.S. Census Bureau. They want to know your race and that of everyone in your home. As Martin Luther King Jr. urged more than 40 years ago, isn’t it time to stop judging us by the color of our skin? Read more »

We are sick of being called racist, because we are not racist. The fixation with racism is entirely from those on the Left, not from conservatives. We judge the content of a person’s character, not the color of his skin–and the character of many in Washington is left wanting. Read more »

It’s now over 40 years since the Civil Right movement — enough wandering in the wilderness. It’s time for a new generation of black Americans to step forward. A generation to turn to the truths that will rebuild black lives, black families, and lead blacks to the freedom that Dr. King and all blacks have dreamed about. Read more »

Liberals are wailing that former congressman Tom Tancredo is a racist, based on comments he made about the intellectual prowess of the body that elected Barack Obama. So is Tancredo really a racist…or are his critics only proving Tancredo right once again? Read more »

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s low poll numbers and comments about “Negro dialects” aren’t only hurting his chances for re-election in November, they’re hurting his son’s chances in a run for Nevada governor. Rory Reid is running third in a three-way race. Read more »

Given what we’ve seen from the Tea Party movement in the past year, the town hall meetings filled with outrage, the come-from-behind campaign of Scott Brown in Massachusetts and more, the few remaining supporters of Senator Harry Reid might want to get a fork handy, because he’s almost done.

John Fund at the Wall Street Journal brings some much-needed truth and perspective on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s deception in the health care debate. I’m talking about Reid’s attempt to vilify Republicans for opposing their attempt to socialize health care in America by claiming Republicans are always on the wrong side of history, i.e. fighting for slavery and segregation.

Yesterday, Bo Snerdley, Rush Limbaugh’s call screener, the Official Obama Criticizer for the EIB Network, wanted to interject his analysis on the recent controversy over Rush Limbaugh’s bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams football team, and the storm of lies hurled against Limbaugh which falsely claimed Limbaugh was a racist.

Al Sharpton blocked Limbaugh like Governor Orval Faubus tried to block black children from entering Central High in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957. We see today that if Al Sharpton does not like a man, and he pulls circumstantial evidence to claim he is a racist, he can get that man’s rights to freely operate and do business in our society abrogated.

Liberals have successfully sacked Rush Limbaugh’s plans to buy the St. Louis Rams football team. But in doing so, they have exposed their own racism and racial obsession, in addition to their propensity for disingenuousness, lies and intolerance. Read more »

There’s an old adage popular among lawyers: If your case is weak on the law, pound the facts. If it’s weak on the facts, pound the law. If your case is weak on the facts and the law, pound the table. Democrats are pounding the table, invoking allegations of racism as the motivation for the opposition to health care “reform.” Read more »

Liberals had the daylights scared out of them over last weekend, with one of the biggest protests in history in Washington D.C. So in their desperation to salvage their socialist agenda, they are playing the “race card” like a bad poker player who’s had too much to drink. Read more »

Next year marks 40 years since the decade of the ’60s, which gave us the civil rights movement. I see a new generation of freedom loving, church going black Americans coming on the scene. Many voted for Obama out of racial pride. But their values and aspirations for freedom are causing a change of heart. Read more »

A few months ago I wrote about President Barack Obama’s black red green czar Van Jones.What we knew of this radical avowed-communist then was plenty disturbing, especially for someone involved in running our country. But we didn’t know nearly everything about this man who is so hostile to the American way of life. Read more »

Is a high arrest rate in the black American community a sign of racism…or simply a sign of high crime in the community? Could some of the problems in the black community be due to a refusal by some to accept responsibility for their actions? Read more »

The best of the best at Dakota Voice last week, featuring: a presidential science advisor who thinks trees should be able to sue in court…and who doesn’t think children are human yet, President Obama damages race relations, patriots are rising up to fight socialized health care, the high price of “free” health care, another study finds an abortion/breast cancer link, Cash for Clunkers will take ownership of your PC, and states begin to assert their sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment.

If Harvard Professor Gates and Barack Obama are outraged by a policeman on Gates’ front porch, why are they not outraged at the massive federal intrusion into every part of our lives? Was this “teachable moment” at what has been dubbed “the Beer Summit” at the White House just another wasted opportunity? Read more »

Though some of the things Sgt. James Crowley discussed with President Obama and Professor Gates at the White House yesterday were said in confidence, this video of a later press conference provides a good picture of what the meeting was like. Read more »

Many of Cambridge Police Sgt James Crowley’s fellow officers–both black and white, male and female–stand behind Crowley’s actions in the arrest of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. One black female officer said she voted for Barack Obama, but will not do so again because of the president’s unfair characterization of police actions.

Would you rather have a doctor who has his degree to ensure racial quotas are met, or a doctor who earned his degree by doing his best at medical school? Would you rather be admitted at the emergency room based on the nature and severity of your injuries…or your skin color? Under the proposed government health care scheme, skin color will carry considerable weight. Still like socialized medicine? Read more »
