But, I believe, if this craziness reveals anything  it reveals the strong desire to maintain an unbalanced playing field.  The unbalanced playing field is where the white male is always perceived as dominate with competition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another thing that is evident from &quot;the noise machine&quot; today is the projection of &quot;all things bad&quot; onto PBO.  Throughout the history of this country the Europeans have projected their own atrocities, malfeasances, and shortcomings onto the group or individual they intend to target.  It is obvious there is projection of the known misdeeds and crimes from the previous administration onto PBO.  The reason for this effort is to preempt future charges on the real criminals and generate confusion as to guilt in the minds of the public. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While this country continuously focus on the alleged failures and under performance of the black male, the true under performer for the past 30+ years is the white male.  Thirty years of stats shows the white male is not competitively graduating in high school or college.  Yet, he can own and control the country&#039;s largest  school testing standards company without ever passing the tests and without a college degree he mysteriously appears in boardrooms and, editorial rooms. Go figure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The last administration ruthlessly purged minorities and women from upper levels of government and institutions across the country to create a structure where the dwindling number of eligible white males are in control.  Many minorities and women pressing against the glass ceiling in government were purged and the remaining were bypassed when the last administration &quot;restructured&quot; personnel management and brought 70+ years old white males from outside to promote over them.  And., all of these new hires from the last administration are &quot;locked in&quot; for six years.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All of this is to say, it is NOT about the illusion of REAL competition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These characters on the airwaves remind me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy looks behind the curtain and finds a small man with a big megaphone.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not sure, if I am understanding you correctly.

Throughout the history of this country the Europeans have projected their own atrocities, malfeasances, and shortcomings onto the group or individual they intend to target.  It is obvious there is projection of the known misdeeds and crimes from the previous administration onto PBO.  The reason for this effort is to preempt future charges on the real criminals and generate confusion as to guilt in the minds of the public.</p><p>While this country continuously focus on the alleged failures and under performance of the black male, the true under performer for the past 30+ years is the white male.  Thirty years of stats shows the white male is not competitively graduating in high school or college.  Yet, he can own and control the country&#39;s largest  school testing standards company without ever passing the tests and without a college degree he mysteriously appears in boardrooms and, editorial rooms. Go figure.</p><p>The last administration ruthlessly purged minorities and women from upper levels of government and institutions across the country to create a structure where the dwindling number of eligible white males are in control.  Many minorities and women pressing against the glass ceiling in government were purged and the remaining were bypassed when the last administration &#8220;restructured&#8221; personnel management and brought 70+ years old white males from outside to promote over them.  And., all of these new hires from the last administration are &#8220;locked in&#8221; for six years.</p><p>All of this is to say, it is NOT about the illusion of REAL competition.</p><p>These characters on the airwaves remind me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy looks behind the curtain and finds a small man with a big megaphone.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: GreenLadyHere</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/10/evening-open-thread-100/comment-page-1/#comment-294290</link> <dc:creator>GreenLadyHere</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2009 07:10:43 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/?p=15485#comment-294290</guid> <description>rikyrah:    &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.commentnation.com/comments/thanks_red_glitter_heart.gif&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;THANK U Sooooo MUCH!!
