Diversity in Northeast Wisconsin.
Owen at Boots & Sabers notes It's stuff like this that makes every Wisconsinite outside of Milwaukee and Madison hate the folks from Milwaukee and Madison.
What stuff is that? Check out the following story coming out of WBAY. Most notable portions of that story are:
In particular Owen is referring to comments from Barbara Lawton our Lt. Governor.
The diversity mongers really get me worked up. A prime example of this is how the Diversity mongers treated Condi Rice and Margaret Thatcher. Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Alberto Gonzales, and others. Minorities in high office in the Bush Administration are given no weight when talking about diversity. They are ignored and written of in ways that are quite frankly racist.
A neighbor once complained to me about how there has yet to be a woman in a position of national leadership in a Western nation. I point out she is forgetting Margaret Thatcher and the neighbor hisses "She's no woman!" Silly me.
Diversity in Northeast Wisconsin is alive and well. I am seeing quite a few businesses starting to be owned by minorities. We have a small auto lot near our house opened by hispanics, there are quite a few Asian stores in town, the local convenience store is run by a family from Pakistan, and a minority group (I don't think of my friends this way it is sillines and condescension to do so, but I use the term for the purpose of this conversation) I am close to is organizing to make itelf known. Do we have minorities in position of political leadership? Not yet, but eventually when those business owners start finding out how much the government wants to interfere with the operation of their business I bet they will start getting interested in government.
In any event it is for private initiative and not Government action to promote such agendas. At least Paul Jadin is engaging in this activity via the privaet sector. Why doesn't Barbara Lawton do what Lt. Governors do best? I am working closely with an associate of Mr. Jadin's and believe me the drive to make Northeast Wisconsin more culturally aware is proceeding full steam ahead. We do not need busybodies from Madison telling us how to conduct our affairs.
What stuff is that? Check out the following story coming out of WBAY. Most notable portions of that story are:
- "December, 2001: The Chicago Sun-Times reports an African-American Chicago Bears fan was called racial slurs during a Packers game. Green Bay police investigated and couldn't find any evidence to support her claim. [Emphasis mine]"
- "August, 2002: The Brown County Board of Supervisors passes a highly controversial resolution making English the official language of the county. The New York Times and other newspapers picked up on the story."
- "August, 2003: Brown County Board Chair Ken Simons apologizes after making the comment "maybe we can take a bus to Milwaukee" for diversity training."
I remember this story. I don't see why it is being cited here since the GB Police could not find evidence to support her claim. Was the fan verbally abused? Most likely, it is a brave or crazy fan visiting the opponents home field wearing obvious signs of allegiance to the visiting team.
Why is this soooooo bad? I lived in a country with its native tongue as its official language did not cause a problem. I managed, from time to time I had to hire someone to perform translation work but no big deal. English should be the official language of not only our towns but of our states and nation as well!
Again what is the big deal? With comments like that spewing from Barbara Lawton no wonder why Ken Simons made the remark he did.
