    Joe
    Human Events, prestigious? Only if you’re a right wingnut marching in step and regurgitating the daily talking points.

    Why don’t you take a deep breath… spend more time studying history and less time stealing extremists’ ideas just to trash other Americans and their accomplishments … to which you could never hold a candle.

    Please go find a political Web site to post your rants. This is an insurance site.
    Best wishes.

    Couldn’t agree more, the double standards have set the bar lower for everyone in this country in terms of education, employment, and physical fitness. God forbid that anyone ever take responsibility for their laziness or stupidity, it always has to be because someone designed a test or product that made them fail. Our military even has loosened it’s stardards to make up for the declining masses…

    Well then, Harry, at least you know that I’ve never trashed you, because you’ve never accomplished anything in your life.

    By the way, Mr. Illiterate, it’s ‘to whom’, not “to which…”. GAM, you’re so simple.

    Get back to your cubicle and do some work.

    Double standards that result in LOWER standards for everybody is now the norm. Reverse discrimination is RAMPANT and affirmative action imbicibles hurt themselves and all others and America itself. Extend the logic and it’s terrifying………and we’re going there.

    If you take the resident agents license exam and pass you get your license. If you take the bar exam and pass you get to practice law. If you take the state registered nurse exam you get to practice as a nurse…a doctor….instrument rating, etc, etc, etc. If you don’t pass the required tests you don’t get the ticket, regardless of your colour, creed, sex, or political affiliation. Just about everything in this country has an accepted test tied to it. Pretty simple actually. The majority ruling got it right.

    “But Kennedy said fear of litigation alone cannot justify reliance on race to the detriment of people who passed the exam and qualified for promotions.”

    In other words, irrationality and lack of sound reasoning should never be a ppemise for racial discrimination. Hopefuly, the effect of this ruling will be promote an end of discrimination of all kinds, includng the ‘PC’ Thought Criminalization advocated by the fascist regime currently holding power in DC.

    Martin Luther Kings address did not state “I have a dream that one day blacks will be able to get jobs in the world even though they can’t pass the necessary exams for the job, whether or not they are written or physical, or they are not qualified for the job and if they are unable to pass these tests or they do not have the qualifications to perform the job, I dream that the world will lower the qualifications so that the blacks may get these jobs, perhaps putting others in danger because of their lack of these necessary qualifications.”

    If you are unable to perform the job you are applying for, and can not pass the necessary exams for the position, no matter what it is, no matter what the color of your skin, then you can not have that job. Period. No special rules on any side of the race fence.

    The race card should not work anymore, for any reason. President Obama is proof of that. They did not change the qualifications for him so he could become president.
