Aman to that. JFK wasn't nearly as impressive as people make him out to be. He was at the very best a mediocre President. In fact he was actually pretty bad, especially in foreign policy. Granted better than obama or Carter but that isn't exactly saying much.

While I do not advocate the point of original poster, posting few pictures as proof is rather...silly: http://en.mercopress.com/data/cache/noticias/40062/0x0/bs-aires.jpg Slams of Bueonos Also you may want to look at crime statistic before you praise it. Finally there is no such thing as Latino "race" (I would argue there isn't such a thing as race period but that is another). Fact is that there isn't a prosperous country build by Spanish influenced cultures today, the best you can get is less poor than others.

You mistake "race" for culture. Until fairly recently (as history goes) Northern europe was the most backwards place in the civilized world, and China, Middle East, Southern Europe, were the civilized places. Today, Southern Europe is one insane (to put it mildly) and places such as Italy, Greece are disfunctional (to keep it PC). What color of a skin someone has is immaterial what culture they come from is a determining factor for vast majority of people. Hence blacks neighborhoods of today are extremely violent places, while at the turn of the 20th century they were one of the safest. To place superiority on one race is to ignore the factors that really matter and be blind to what causes people to act in certain way.

PS, the whole notion is wrong in the first place. There is no such thing as a "Right Price" in goods or labor (Economics 101). To put it simpler you are worth what others are willing to pay for you. There somehow developed an idea (well OK I know the History of such but lets not get crazy here) that a person is worth X or Y. That is nonsense. College also doesn't automatically add any $ to your worth (it does take some away though), it is a tool that hopefully will help you and nothing more. There is no such thing, in other words, as "underemployed". Its a crazy idea without any economical justificatin.

I hate the whole notion of such a thing. Majority of people today get degress in Liberal Arts such as "Racial Studies", etc. Such degrees are not useful in a market place, and as such those who get them (except for those few who can get into teaching) start 5 years behind others in terms of a work force. Therefore they start at the bottom. We as a society are pushing College like it is some sort of magic dust. It isn't, collegel is a simple tool to learn needed skills. Notice the importance of NEEDED. Engineers, for instance, are hardly ever "under employed", as are all those who get good degrees. The first thing we should do is not push our kids towards college, but rather we should help them first discover what they are good...

inability but rather someone elses fault. This practice is as old as time, perfected in America by FDR who used it to win 3 elections (36,40,45). Trouble is sooner or later this always results in violence and war. This is already happening in America, and sooner or later will truly errupt.

Except Assimilation is not what a Liberal is looking for. They are, quite on purpose, dividing people and putting them into groups (well the politicians and leaders anyway, not your average brain dead Liberal). When you have people in groups you can pit one against another, you can build group politics and thereby being able to appeal to a single issue and stroke a single ego, and decry any change as "racist). Hence the -American isn't a means to be PC bur rather is means to A. seperate them as unique individuals, who are not American but their own "kind" B. Give them they own identies and be able to refer to group not an individual for any policies/grievances. C. Imply that any personal problem you had wasn't a result of your own...

Heck I personally will donate at least 1K dollars for him to play golf ever day for the next 40 years, as long as he stops pretending he is a President and stop trying to push his idiotic agenda.

Me? I am hardly blaming him for everything, I am talking about perception and reality of Bush. I voted for Bush twice (although not in the Primaries) and I admire the man as a man. However just because I am life long Republican, doesn't mean I won't criticize him, and that should go for everybody. GOP Could use a nice long "looking in the mirror session". We don't have a lot of time to save this country and we won't until we learn what is wrong with ourselves first.

Overall given such gems as: Wilson, FDR, Hoover, Nixon, Carter, etc..? I would place him right down the middle. Nothing to be proud of but nothing to hide our heads about either, especially given the alternative of Gore (God save us) or Kerry.
