| Additional clips of a United States Department of Agriculture sensitivity training class feature USDA employees being told to recite, “If we work for a federal agency, we’ve discriminated in the past.” The clips, released by the conservative government accountability group Judicial Watch Thursday evening, are the second installation of revealing footage obtained by a Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) request the organization made last May. According to Judicial Watch, the documents reveal the sensitivity training was delivered to USDA employees at least 16 times last year in an attempt to boost employees’ “emotional intelligence.”

Comments: Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch was on O´Reilly tonight. He said there are more videos to come from this miscreant and he has made over $2 million from these pathetic diversity training classes. The DOD has also participated. It´s no wonder the government is going bankrupt. 0bama and his regime simply don´t care as long as they are getting out their anti-American messages.

I hope I live to see the day when these leftists limosine liberals who have infiltrated so many levels of government and taken so much taxpayer money are thrown out on their butts to have to try and make it in the private sector.

Brainwashing. Are we so cowed by the government that we would refuse to repeat this drivel? It is past time to push back against the re-education that is permeating this country. Progressives will never give up their agenda unless they are forced to do so. It is time to stand up for freedom before we lose the opportunity. What Progressives ask now, they will demand under penalty of death in the future. Force is the only way they will ultimately succeed. Wake up America. Your freedom is at stake.

What is also sick, in my view, is that the audience laughs and goes along with this race-baiting creep. Even in church, I am loathe to participate in such "repeat after me" exercises. There was a time in my life when I would have sat quietly by without saying anything, but now I would raise my hand and let the leader know that I am very uncomfortable letting anyone put words in my mouth and will not participate.

"The birds did not understand Snowball’s long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to learn the new maxim by heart. FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD, was inscribed on the end wall of the barn, above the Seven Commandments and in bigger letters When they had once got it by heart, the sheep developed a great liking for this maxim, and often as they lay in the field they would all start bleating “Four legs good, two legs bad! Four legs good, two legs bad!” and keep it up for hours on end, never growing tired of it." George Orwell

Yes you have. Egregiously.
Against law abiding American citizens in their fields, their hatcheries, their feed lots, their food plants. Against farmers, ranchers and growers of every kind.
While failing to properly protect the food chain, consumers and the future of American food production. While taking bribes and spending nearly $100 million on fancy restaurants, trips and ´conferences´.
Yes You Have Discriminated In The Past. And we, the citizens you work for, want you held accountable.

Why are many of you so perfectly aghast and surprised by these actions of the feds? This is normal operating procedure for a police state. Some of us have all seen this before but never ever believed it would have happened here.
Think about it the notion of police home inspections was introduced in a bill last week in Olympia. Read it for yourselves (http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2020373291_westneat17xml.html). The lawmakers who introduced the bill later claimed that it was a mistake made by an overeager staff, but only after someone actually read the bill and called them on it.
Who would have believed this even possible 10 years ago? Face it our beloved Republic has evolved into a socialist Democracy and millions of Lofos helped create it.

I rarely watch lame stream media TV stars because I start feeling sad for them. And us. I saw this Agriculture charade and when he said the Pilgrims are illegal immigrants my insensitivity had me laughing. These folks must have breezed right through the Indian border and customs agents. Actual I laughed because his repeat after me was utterly ridiculous. And the people that stuck around to listen must have zero self respect not to be able to think for themselves. Teleprompters and zombies is what makes me sad.

I looked up the Dr of Who-Knows-What who leads these Who-Knows-Why seminars and he´s part of a large organization that does this for federal, state and local groups. Glenn Beck had Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch on his show the other day to talk about this. He also had a guy from DC,in silhouette with his voice disguised, describe this surreal seminar. He´s afraid of losing his job, as well as all of the other people who were forced to be there and listen to that pap. What a waste of our taxes! I wish somebody with common sense could eliminate all of these stupid programs from what should be the federal budget. I don´t think we even have a budget anymore.

#7 - I did time, 7 years, working as a program analyst for my county´s social services department. In my first months there was a "diversity training" that followed this same mold, and I walked out. The next day I detailed for my supervisor why I had walked out. She was dumbfounded, but did not pursue the matter.
Several years later, while representing my department at an "all county" meeting there was another "training" led by an Asian woman, a black woman and a Hispanic woman. They complained about the "institutional" racism they had all suffered personally. The racism boiled down to "white people are rude to me." After the presentations there was the usual go-around-the-table where everyone dutifully made observations about the value of the training. I was the last one and stated that I felt this was a good opportunity to recognize the strides in racial relations that this country had accomplished since the 1960´s. All the reps from the other counties clapped loudly and long. The looks the presenters directed to me were deadly.

The next morning my supervisor called me in and told me that I would no longer be representing our county at these meetings. When I asked her who called her, the Asian or the Hispanic or the black, I could tell by her face that someone had but she insisted "Your too valuable in the office to go to the monthly meeting anymore." Ha.
A few months after that she set me up to be the "supervisor" for”diversity training" for our unit. I pushed back against the trainer at that one, too. Formal complaints were filed complete with an investigation into my "racist attitudes" and "anger problems." From then on my work life was hell. About a month after that I went to lunch one day and never went back.

I once worked for a company, the owner forced all employees into an evangelical Monday morning lecture and prayer session- themes on the "Fifty moral seeds of Christ!" They made us recite the bible, chant, throw our arms up in the air- shouting "Praise be to God!" You should have heard the talk and laughter of this brainwashing attempt out in the shop- And, the thing was, the man who stole the most, cheated people of their wages and lied to employees the most was the man who stood at the podium- the Owner and his sons! I figure this is exactly the same type of set-up. Employees will do it, because they fear losing promotions and even their jobs- but, they walk away snickering and ridiculing the people who force them to sit through this scatological substance.

What is even worse since most state and federal agencies are predominantly employed by blacks and hispanics, the sanctified racism against whites spills over to the white people they are employed to serve. Visit the post office, DMV, any federal office like Social Security, the IRS, Homeland Security or any court desk and the intense hatred against whites is so apparent by their attitude they actually gloat at losing files, records or just making people who have no where else to go to get a passport, their SS check, tax refund, etc.
Diversity and sensitivity training is for the sole purpose to intimidate and scare whites into submmission.

We have already seen video clips of these "employees" in their state-run meetings that reminded us of a Communist china indoctrination class back in the days of Chairman Mao. Yes, they are disgusting meetings and the attendees are cretins to have not walked out. Guess that money conquers all and Federal Agencies make certain things mandatory. Who is an employee going to make a grievance to, the DOJ?

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself.

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

First, though, I´d like to suggest that anyone reading this column in a local newspaper or news site pat the editor on the back for publishing what in our neo-medieval world of fear amounts to a forbidden column. Yup, I am about to say something about the Great Barack Obama Identity/Eligibility Scandal again.
