America is becoming non-white

For decades, the NY Times has been promoting immigration policies that heavily favored a huge influx of non-whites. Today's lead story brags:
WASHINGTON — After years of speculation, estimates and projections, the Census Bureau has made it official: White births are no longer a majority in the United States.

Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 49.6 percent of all births in the 12-month period that ended last July, according to Census Bureau data made public on Thursday, while minorities — including Hispanics, blacks, Asians and those of mixed race — reached 50.4 percent, representing a majority for the first time in the country’s history.
The article goes on to quote experts who say that this is a wonderful thing, except for the facts that the Hispanic immigrants are uneducated and do not vote Democrat often enough.

It is not a good thing. The immigrants do not share American values, so it is a good bet that they will not be voting Republican when they start voting in large numbers.
Latinos, on the other hand, are squarely within their peak fertility, with a median age of 27, said Jeffrey Passel, senior demographer at the Pew Hispanic Center. Between 2000 and 2010, there were more Hispanic births in the United States than there were arriving Hispanic immigrants, he said.

The result is striking: Minorities accounted for 92 percent of the nation’s population growth in the decade that ended in 2010, Mr. Frey calculated, a surge that has created a very different looking America from the one of the 1950s, when the TV characters Ozzie and Harriet were a national archetype.
The NY Times liberals seek to destroy the American family of the 1950s, as symbolized by Ozzie and Harriet. The TV characters were happy, self-sufficient, autonomous, law-abiding, honorable, patriotic, hard-working, and otherwise embodied qualities that made America great. In other words, the show promoted values that NY Times liberals despise.

Instead, the USA is being transformed by immigrants who do not share those values, and who have high rates of illiteracy, illegitimacy, and gang crime, and they will vote Democrat when the Democrats promise them more food stamps.

Vaccine Bill Threatens Parents' Rights

It may soon become more difficult for some California parents to enroll their children in public schools. The California legislature is considering a bill that would require parents who want to decline one or more vaccines to get a doctor's signature before enrolling their child in school. While this might sound like a common-sense idea, it takes decision-making powers away from parents and puts those powers in the hands of doctors who often benefit financially from high vaccination rates.

California Educators Created an Educational Disaster

According to a study by the California Department of Education, almost one in six adults in that state is "functionally illiterate" and most of those who can't read are native English speakers who went to school in the United States. So, you can't blame this statistic on the immigrants. That means more than 3 million Californians can't read well enough to read a job application. The education bureaucrats blame this disaster on social problems and lack of enough money, but those are not the real problems. As the noted education writer Samuel Blumenfeld explained, the fault is California's adoption in 1987 of a stupid system of teaching reading called "whole language." That is a system of banning the teaching of phonics, which means teaching the child the sounds of syllables of the English language so he can put them together and read words. California actually destroyed all phonics books and spellers to ensure that teachers went along with the so-called whole word method.

Obama losing female voters

President Barack Obama seems to be betting his campaign on support from women, gays, blacks, and Jews. His web site promotes the Life Of Julia cartoon, despite numerous errors. He just gave this speech for women:
President Obama, shifting the focus from his recent endorsement of same-sex marriage to what he portrays as a lifelong belief in the essential role of women, told female graduates of Barnard College in New York City on Monday that they should go out and “fight for a seat at the head of the table.”

In a speech that promoted his record on women’s issues and drew a not-so-subtle distinction with the views of Republicans, including his presumptive challenger, Mitt Romney, Mr. Obama urged members of the class of nearly 600 to climb to the top of the corporate ladder or run for public office.

The dearth of female lawmakers in Congress, the president declared, was “one reason we’re actually refighting long-settled battles over women’s rights.” The shortage of female chief executives at major companies, he said, was “one reason many workplaces still have outdated policies.”
In spite of all of this, the latest CBS NY Times poll shows Romney leading among women voters.
