Geee Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 TheHill: Elizabeth Warren was listed as a minority professor by a second law school in a report detailing the school's progress in creating a diverse faculty. In addition to Harvard University, where Warren is on faculty, the University of Pennsylvania Law School also touted Warren as a minority, according to an April 2005 document obtained by The Hill. Warren taught at the Philadelphia school in the 1980s and 1990s. The diversity report, published after Warren had already resigned, said she had received the award in 2004. It was unclear what information led to her being listed as a minority. “At every law school where Elizabeth was recruited to teach, it has been made absolutely clear she was hired based on merit, on her accomplishments and ability,” said Warren spokeswoman Alethea Harney. “Documents from the college and law school from which she graduated show that Elizabeth did not seek special treatment by acknowledging her Native American heritage.” The revelation that a second school listed Warren as a minority raised further questions about her claim to Native American heritage and whether it was reasonable for her to represent herself as a minority. Republicans, including Sen. Scott Brown’s (R-Mass.) campaign, have questioned whether Warren used the claim to further her career — an allegation Warren has repeatedly denied.

Draggingtree Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Red State On Fairness & Moral Cases Posted by Erick Erickson (Diary) Monday, May 14th at 9:23AM EDT No Comments Another day, another socialist takes to the New York Times to denounce capitalism. With his criticism — he is a professional critic, which is a job no socialist society would really see value in except as an agenda of propaganda, but he thrives in the capitalist society he condemns — he premises it on some sort of morality. He mocks Christians for embracing capitalism with no understanding of Christianity or even a real understanding of capitalism. But his critique is filled with the usual, and totally unoriginal leftist pablum about the evils of profit motive, etc. while ignoring arms length transactions, how the free market, unlike any other economic system, has elevated so many out of poverty, etc. Along the way, we keep hearing something from these leftists, whether it be Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Nancy Pelosi, or the Hollywood crowd is that the rich need to “give back” and “pay their fair share.” They’re just as happy to quote a secular philosopher as they are the Bible. Elizabeth Warren famously said that the factory owner wants us to ignore the people who built the roads or ran the phone lines, etc. She, however, wants to ignore the factory owner’s idea, success, and hiring record — providing jobs to people to build his product. But all of that misses the larger point. Read More http://www.redstate.com/erick/2012/05/14/on-fairness-moral-cases/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I am officially applying for affordable (government subsidized) membership dues at The Right Reasons. I am entitled to this by my Dutch heritage (came to North America in 1661) who suffered greatly during the Spanish oppression of my ancestors. wikipedia: The Reformation inflamed passions. In 1566 William of Orange, a convert to Calvinism and the father of his people, started the Eighty Years' War to liberate the Dutch from the Catholic Spaniards and the brutality of the Duke of Alba. There followed an epic struggle against the Spanish that did not end until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. @clearvision your failure to provide such or your silence on this matter will be considered de facto support for the suppression of minority rights! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
