George Will wonders when we will finally be able to get to a colorblind society in the wake of the Ricci decision. It strikes me as morally wrong to deny people jobs, promotions or other benefits simply because of their race. I do not believe it is right to use racial discrimination to, somehow, repair the damage caused by past racial discrimination. Racial discrimination leads to resentment, hostility and a loss of social cohesion in the community and, inevitably, to violence and social breakdown. Can we not agree that it was right to end the practice when it was directed against non-Whites because of these factors, as well as the immorality of the practice? Is it not, therefore, wrong to resume the practice, but this time direct it against Whites (however we define 'White')?

Caroline Glick makes the case for Obama as left-wing anti-American ideologue, not foreign policy 'realist'. Like Glick, I hope that as time goes on a majority of the American people will see Obama for what he is, a newer version of Jimmy Carter, and will, like Carter, reject him after only one term.

Here is an argument for more forceful action against North Korea, since the North Korean government has renounced the armistice treaty that ended hostilities back in 1953. Unfortunately, forceful action against the North Koreans runs the substantial risk of North Korean retaliation against their hundreds of thousands of South Korean hostages. Yes, I said hostages. The population of Seoul, South Korea is within artillery range of thousands of North Korean guns. They have had more than 50 years to conceal and harden those gun positions. If they let loose with a barrage many thousands of South Koreans will be killed before the South Korean military can respond. Thus, even if the North Koreans do not have the capability to deliver a working nuclear weapon on a target, they can still cause terrible carnage if provoked. Thus, the situation on the Korean peninsula is akin to a terrorist who is holding hostages at gunpoint. Understanding this fact, Presidents as diverse as George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now Barack Obama have tread softly, despite all the threats and provocations of the North Koreans. I expect that practice to continue.

Here is an argument in favor of the coup in Honduras. I have almost no knowledge of the situation in Honduras, or the history of the country, therefore I cannot comment on the situation other than to say that since Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers seem to favor the ousted President, I believe the Army may have been justified in this case.

Here is an argument in favor of raising Federal taxes to deal with the ballooning deficit. I hope the Democrats are stupid enough to raise taxes, the sooner to throw them out.
