OBAMA GETS IT RIGHT: THIS IS ABOUT POLICE BRUTALITY, NOT RACE

A broken clock is correct twice a day

They say a broken clock is right twice a day and that old adage proved true last night when President Obama made the point that the proper response to the Eric Garner controversy should be to focus on police brutality, not race.

Protesters flooded the streets of New York last night after a grand jury decided not to charge Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of 43-year-old Eric Garner, who was choked to death for the crime of selling untaxed cigarettes. Video footage of the incident clearly shows that Garner offered little or no resistance and was not acting aggressively towards officers during the arrest.

Despite an army of social justice warriors immediately reacting to the decision by stoking yet more racial division, it was left to none other than President Obama to remind Americans that police brutality is an issue that impacts everyone and should not be about race.

“It is incumbent on all of us as Americans, regardless of race, region, faith, that we recognize this is an American problem, not just a black problem, or a brown problem, or a Native American problem. This is an American problem,” said Obama during a Tribal Nations conference at the White House.

Unfortunately, Obama’s sober analysis was almost universally ignored by irate leftists, who took to Twitter to blame Garner’s death on white people rather than corrupt police officers.

By the evening, the hashtag #CrimingWhileWhitewas trending and Caucasians were falling over themselves to apologize for their “white privilege” by telling anecdotal tales of how they had escaped police retribution after committing minor offenses.

Absent from the discussion was the fact that “white privilege” counted for very little in the cases of both Kelly Thomas and James Boyd, both white, both homeless, both of whom were summarily executed by police officers as they begged for their lives – just like Eric Garner.

Instead of what should have happened – conservatives and liberals, blacks and whites – unifying against police brutality, the left has managed to turn the Ferguson protests and the Eric Garner backlash into Occupy 2.0 – a divisive faux “revolution” which will go nowhere because it alienates half the population of the United States.

Instead of having a nuanced debate about what drives police profiling of black people and why cops immediately resort to violence in many cases, collectivists have ensured that the narrative is focused solely on “white guilt,” a misdirection that only serves to fuel a cultural race war, whilecommunist groups have also hijacked the cause to push anti-capitalist economic sectarianism.

FBI crime statistics show that black people commit almost the same number of homicides as whites and Hispanics put together, yet they represent only 13 per cent of the population. Again, despite representing only a fraction of the population, 93 per cent of blacks are killed by other blacks, according to Justice Department figures.

This problem of criminality and violence in the black community has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with the glamorized ‘thug life’ culture promoted by (white-owned) entertainment companies via hip-hop and rap music.

The problem of brutality and abuse of force amongst police officers has nothing do with skin color and everything to do with increased militarization and federal training which encourages cops to see citizens as the enemy in a warzone.

Both of these integral factors have received little or no attention as a result of social justice vultures making the issue all about race. This isn’t about “white privilege,” it’s about “blue privilege,” a system that allows cops to get away with murder no matter the skin color of the victim.

This misplaced anger can only please the establishment, since it ensures that everyone is kept locked into a futile furore of blaming each other while the true causes of police brutality directed towards both the black community and the wider population remain unaddressed.

Populismo y ganancias

No ponga mucha fe en la idea de que los políticos en general saben de economía. Muchos ciudadanos lo creen y se basan en la premisa de que “por algo los habrán elegido, si no, no estarían ocupando el cargo…”

Pero la realidad es otra, mire a la pobre Venezuela o el giro negativo que está dando el hasta ahora próspero Chile. En realidad no hace falta irse tan lejos, basta con mirar alrededorpara toparnos con políticos ofreciendo medidas populistas para ganar votos.

El populismo vende mucho, pero sus resultados son muy malos para las naciones. Suiza, uno de los países más libres y prósperos del mundo, parece haber aprendido la lección. En el referéndum de noviembre de 2013, los suizos rechazaron la idea de limitar los sueldos de los ejecutivos porque opinaban que “si esa norma era aprobada, los jefes corporativos simplemente se irían a vivir a otro país”. Muy cierto. A Suizatampoco le ha hecho falta tener el salario mínimo para ser un país próspero: $79,000 de renta per cápita y un paro laboral de sólo el 3.5%. La libertad funciona, pero la tentación del control político es fuerte y embriagante. Y el populismo explota la ignorancia ciudadana.

Por poner un ejemplo, pocos explican la diferencia que hay entre lo que una empresa vende y lo que gana. Son dos cosas distintas, muy distintas. No se extrañe si ve a los políticos populistas hablando de que hay que controlar las ganancias escandalosas de las empresas… y nos darán las cifras de las ventas además de ofrecer más regulación para controlar el mercado. Para entender un poquito mejor la diferencia entre ventas y ganancias, no deje de ver este magnífico video que nos lo explica de forma tan amena y sencilla… que hasta un político lo entendería.

Obama admin orders federally funded schools to let students choose their own gender

 Homosexuality , Obama , Transgender

The Obama administration has ordered schools that accept federal funding to allow people to attend single-sex lessons based on their self-identified “gender identity” rather than their biological sex.

The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights sent out a 36-page memo this week stating that under Title IX of the 1972 education amendments, "all students, including transgender students and students who do not conform to sex stereotypes, are protected from sex-based discrimination.

“Under Title IX, a recipient generally must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity in all aspects of the planning, implementation, enrollment, operation, and evaluation of single-sex classes,” the memo added.

Eagle Forum President Phyllis Schlafly, however, said that the administration was misinterpreting Title IX. "I knew the author of Title IX, and there's no question that she simply wanted to give a fair break to girls, and get what they are entitled to. And there's no way would she have authorized [this], nor does the text of Title IX require mixing it up like that."

"I think they're crazy," Schlafly said about the Obama administration.

According to the Department of Education's website, Title IX, which is part of the Education Amendments of 1972 and was updated in 1998, says the following: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

Under the Obama administration, this has been expanded to cover “transgendered” students -- boys and men who identify as female, and girls and women who identify as male.

The memo says that "classes or portions of classes in elementary and secondary schools that deal primarily with human sexuality" may separate male and female students. Under the expanded definition of sexual identity by the Obama administration, schools that take federal education dollars will be unable to prevent a boy who identifies as a girl from joining a female-only sexual education class.

It is also possible that the administration’s order could affect locker rooms. The memo says that "contact sports in physical education classes" may be separated by gender -- and since showers and changing rooms are part of the "implementation" and "operation" of a physical education class, “transgendered” students could use the facilities of their chosen gender.

The memo justified its stance on overall sex discrimination by citing the U.S. Constitution and various regulatory programs. "The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex by public schools," says the memo. "In addition, Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title IV) prohibits public school boards from denying students the equal protection of the laws based on sex, and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act (EEOA) prohibits some forms of student assignment to schools if the assignment results in sex segregation."

A legislative representative for the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office told Buzzfeed News that "making clear that transgender students should be able to participate in single-sex classes consistent with who they are is a positive step forward.”

The increasing tendency of Americans to see transgenderism as a social norm has seen pushback at some of the highest levels in psychology. Earlier this year, the former psychiatrist-in-chief of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Paul McHugh, wrote that the "sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects." According to Hopkins, transgenderism "does not correspond with physical reality," but more importantly, not treating transgender disorder properly "can lead to grim psychological outcomes."

According to McHugh, a 2011 study of transgendered people in Sweden showed that “beginning about 10 years after having [gender change] surgery, the transgendered began to experience increasing mental difficulties. Most shockingly, their suicide mortality rose almost 20-fold above the comparable nontransgender population."

The Obama administration's changes to federally-funded programs as they relate to transgender and homosexual advocacy are not limited to students. The administration has signed an executive order denying all large federal contractors freedom in terms of the hiring, firing, and general treatment of transgendered and homosexual employees, and has said that Medicare funds can be used to pay for sex-change operations.
