By All Means Let's Fight Bias and Discrimination in Goverment: Heres a clue its not in fire department civil service exams but NPR

President Obama who is tired of politicians spending the American people's tax dollars "like its monopoly money" sure showed how un-cynical that statement was by hiring not 10, not 30, not even 50, or 80 but a whooping 150 new entirely unneded Civil Rights Lawyers. So we elect a black president and he exspands the Civil Rights Dicvision like crazy to counter what?


Its odd that billions are spent on "fixing" problems that either fixable arent real or a a big deal at all or crimes that aren't crimes at all (like giving a police exam with results Eric Holder doesn't like not because teh test was flawed or biased bor because the median score was lower than last year , no, but because he disaproves (he,, not the law not the Constuition, not the Congress disaproves of the amont of black testtakers who passed the said civil servce exam in question. Look it can be a nice goal to have a very diverse fire department or police department but that is probably something that should be an afterthought and completly secondary to the most important matter which is: is the police department and fire department in question doing its job well? And by and large, they are. We don't have a police or fire fighting crises that requires billions of dollars spebt on lawyers , paperwork, etc, etc.
If there was a huge systemtic problem with police departments and fire houses not doing there basic duties then tasks forces and other such things should be created at the tax payers exspence. But there is no such problem in policing and fire fighting.

And yet take a looki invite you at a another part of the goverment with the exact massive systemic problems that require tasks forces, and other such spending to correct: Public Radio-National Public Radio to be exact. The goverment has spent/wasted billions of dollars fighting or so it claimed discrimination, bias and the like within the police departments and fire houses of America when it comes to hiring. There was no problem ofcourse because the test decided but whatever.

Well the boogeyman of discrimination is no myth when it comes to NPR and Public Radio inwhich liberals dicriminate against conservative figures, employees, job applicants, figures and pundits. But the main problem is not nesscarily in itself the voting patterns of the staff of NPR news stations but whether there shows are systemitacially and regularily baised and biased against the right.
