| The USDA is under fire for spending $200,000 of taxpayers money on a mandatory ´Cultural Sensitivity Training´ program in which employees were told to refer to the Pilgrims as ´illegal aliens´ and minorities as ´emerging majorities´. In previously unseen footage, diversity trainer Samuel Betances, who describes himself as a ´citizen of the world´, tells the audience to repeat that ´every federal agency has discriminated against African-Americans, Hispanics, Native American Indians and other groups.´ Made public on the government watchdog website Judicial Watch who obtained it through a Freedom of Information made on May 18th, 2012, Betances says that everyone

Let´s face it, this government is totally out of control and corrupted by 535 people in Congress that have no business being there. You could pull 535 people out of the phone book that would do a better job than these corrupt bureaucrats that pass for politicians.

Right on, #2. The Pilgrims did not cross any national boundary, as none existed. I wouldn´t expect any USDA employee or consultant to realize that the passport had not yet been devised in 1620.
By Betances´ inane standards, the Indians were "illegal aliens" too.

We don´t have a white-against-black racism problem in America.
We have an "Elitism" problem in America.
The elites in government, education, film and entertainment and a few other segments of society attribute their guilt and their own feelings of superiority to the attitudes of less fortunate whites.
I guess they aren´t aware (or don´t care) that there are poor whites working hard to make it on their own without the benefit of wealth redistribution.
These people have more in common with working class poor blacks than either group has with the black and white elites behind this kind of racist dogma.

Illegal Alien, according to which law exactly? And shouldn´t that be "Undocumented Immigrant"? Illegal has such a negative connotation. Besides, the indians welcomed them. Remember the Thanksgiving Feast between the indians and Pilgrims?!

They weren´t illegals. They were invaders. They invaded and they conquered.
Invaders is what the "illegals" are today and conquer is what they are trying to do today. And they don´t intend to treat us as well as the invaders of the past treated the American Indians.

Ok, Ok, I confess that we have not done enough with the illigal immigrant issues... We should start righting that wrong right away. Lets get people back to where they belong or at least help them to go where they came from since they act like they don´t want to be here. I suggest we start with that group that feels strongest that they were wronged, that they ripped away from the lap of luxury back in their homeland. The fact that their leaders over there at that time were happy to get rid of them has no impact on them. So lets set aside a few billion this year to get these folks back home...one way tickets should see say 25+ million for starters. Send them back home where they can feel as equals with their countrymen and expunge all feelings of inadequacies and no longer have to hyphenate their identification as citizens. Do you suppose this group would jump at the chance to go? If not, why not? If the choice is to stay then start acting like it and strive to be fully Americans and quit acting like something is owed to you. You had the choice to go, which is it? Now, on to the next group...

A senior Eurocrat sparked outrage last night after calling for the phrase “illegal immigrant” to be banned from the European Union.[Snip] She has instructed EU Commission staff to refer to foreigners who break border control laws as “irregular migrants” or simply “people” instead. But her attempt to dictate how the issue of immigration is discussed was savaged last night.

It was cynical. It was calculating. And it was done out of malice in a ham-fisted plot which went wrong. The trial spoke volumes about the sheer nastiness of the individuals involved.

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has transported two more missiles to the east coast, Seoul military sources have revealed, triggering speculation that it is ready for an abrupt missile launch. North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said. "It has been confirmed that North Korea, early this week, transported two Musudan mid-range missiles by train to the east coast and loaded them on vehicles equipped with launch pads," Yonhap quoted the official as saying.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
