Yup, I'd posted a simplified version first, prior to providing a link to the scarier list on Obama's site. www.barackobama.com It's simlar to inoculating someone against a disease. First the abstract and then nitty gritty of what Obama proposes.
Obama throws money at everything. He wants to use failed educational programs without acknowledging that you cannot educate a person subject to inherited limitations to the same level as one who has greater intelligence. This leveling doesn't work.
Blacks function at an 85 reading worldwide compared to East Asians at 106, was it? Trying to equalize results, and affixing blame on the school system or teachers is an idiot's exercise, except as a PR effort.
That's not to deny individual differences within groups so that there is an overlap between members of one group and members of another. Obama may be more intelligent than McCain, or Gore, or Kerry (not necessarily saying much), but group capabilities are not equivalent, and misuse of money pursuant to the fiction that equal accomplishment can be achieved, is not prudent use of funds.
Also, the continuation of black preference that Obama promises does not affect limousine liberals, but does affect those less competent competing on the margins for available slots that will enable them to advance themselves. This promise of special programs for black preference in college admissions, setasides for business, setaside employment slots, and the like, er, and "welfare," government grant preferences, may not sit too well with suffering blue collar workers, who may be alienated by the bigotry that fosters the discrimination that Obama advocates.
Self-flagellation is a liberal pastime. But liberals have surrogates for this self-inflicrted ordeal, lower class whites who the liberals seem to find particularly distasteful and from whom they are alienated and distance themselves, and try to harm through unequal treatment.
New liberal motto: Make life more difficult for a poor white. Poor white's deserve pain. Have I hurt a poor white today?
