of Africa and that person would stand out as a black American. Same if you parachuted me into the middle of Europe, I would stand out as a white American.

Several years ago, a lawsuit against a medical university in New Jersey was sued because an international student from Mozambique identified himself as "African-American". This student was ethnically white, but born and raised in Africa, as was his family for decades. The university told him he couldn't be African-American because he was white. I heard this young man speak with all the cadence and dialect of black Africans from the same area. Even further back, an international student from Egypt stated to his university that since Egypt is on the African continent, he would be African-American by the same virtue. Again, the university told him he was caucasian. I have said many time, parachute a black American into the middle...
There are plenty of truly African people who are not black. I use the scenario that you parachute a black American into the middle of Africa, what are they? A black American with African roots. Parachute me into the middle of Europe (my heritage), what am I? A white American with European roots. Nothing more nor less. Just as I would in no way be considered European, the vast majority of black America cannot be considered African. The skin color does not warrant it. Social, cultural, lingustical, moral, ethical, culinary, political, and many more have prominence over the skin color when defining hyphenization of citizenry.
Run to the hills when the statement is made that it's all for the kids. Never is! The students are the last thought if they are thought of at all.
Which is why many Americans, like myself, find teachers unions to be an impediment if not an obstruction to education reform. The students are not considered even remotely if at all. Part of the educational morass experienced in this country is a direct result of unionized impediment to overhauling the educational structure of public education. Every teacher worth their weight in gold should be outraged by all of this. Why? Because the integrity of the profession is being whittled away not slow and steady, but quick and decisive by teachers in teachers union not reining in their unions.
Voters: Actually DC, This Bad Economy is Your Fault: Fool us once-shame on you (Great Depression, FDR, Democrat), Fool us twice-shame on us (1970's recession, Jimmy Carter, Democrat), Fool us third-still shame on us (2012, Barack Obama, Democrat).
Since the WPA was mentioned, I recalled the older term muckraker to describe O'keefe. If Chambers and Bly could expose the abuse in asylums, then I would venture to say that O'keefe is exposing the abuse in progressivism fairly accurately. Bly and Chambers would be so proud.
This is a very ignorant group of people at the DNC. Hippotherapy is well regarded and proven sucessful for both medical and learning issues. I should know, my son has both and hippotherapy was a useful and dynamic tool for him. Not every horse is geared for hippotherapy, but the one that do, man, you have a powerful tool at your disposal. It is evident that no one at the DNC every rode a horse, for therapy, pleasure, or work to understand the communication and interaction a rider and horse have between them. Just shows how much ignorance is in the DNC at this time.
See, if Obama had had a job prior to the presidency where he did in fact have to make strong/tough decisions routinely on the life and death of the business, this would be a routine matter for him. All part of the chief executive's day. But since he has no management experience on any level, this is a rah!! rah!! shake the pom-poms for him and so he makes a decision within his job description a major deal. What else can he campaign on? His economic record? His administrative record? He has nothing but this small cog of achievement.
In the Constitution, Article One, Section Eight, Clause 7 of the Postal Code states that Congress is empowered to establish post offices and post roads. However, considering how much of the Constitution is not abided by, this seems to be a minor offense.
