"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." - Martin Luther King Jr. "I Have a Dream"
I share the same dream of Martin Luther King, that one day, character will matter more than race or gender. Unfortunately, today's announcement of Sonia Sotomayor as President Obama's nominee for the US Supreme Court makes me doubt the sincerity of his choice, and the overall intention of the Obama White House, Democrats controlling congress, and the Liberal dominated national media.
The main focus of the press today has not been on Sotomayor's qualifications, experience or political rhetoric, that indicate her preparedness to ascend to the Supreme Court. The main topic is her race and gender, that of the first hispanic woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court.
For the record, in reviewing Sotomayor's experience and qualifications, I do feel she merits a nomination to the Supreme Court. This does not mean that I agree with her tendency to define the law and implement policy, rather than act as a judge that interprets and defends the constitution.
Perhaps one day, in our great nation, we will achieve Dr. King's dream of placing more value on character than race. Indeed, we have progressed tremendously since the day when Dr. King fought for civil rights. However, the media's emphasis on race and gender over character demonstrates that we have a long way to go to achieve Dr. King's dream.

Breaking News: Obama's Health Care Plan Revealed.
Obama's ambitious health care plan for America was finally revealed this week. The commander in chief (or is it now the commander in health care service announcements), guilted us all into doing what most mothers taught us years ago: Wash your hands. Let's analyze this brilliant plan!
1. Everybody wash your hands!!!
2. If anyone forgets to wash their hands, cancel everything and have Obama deliver another health care announcement!!!
3. Wait until a major flu epidemic, then hire a Secretary of Public Health! (Sebelius ((sounds like a flu strain to me)) sworn in just this week). Did they check if she paid her taxes?
4. If everyone washes their hands, illnesses will decrease, thus the need for a real comprehensive health care reform is irrelevant. Costs go down, need for care reduced.
5. Call France, Canada, UK find out how well their socialist medicial care is going. Kidney transplant anyone?
6. Why didn't Hillary think of this first?

Welcome to Insane Conservative
In order to secure a more perfect Blog, based upon conservative principles of governance, the Insane Conversative was created.
About the author: Most bloggers may have a higher IQ than me. But I doubt many have more years of post-High School education. BA, BA, MA, PhD Studies, MBA. That adds up to 12 years of post high-school education at BYU, NYU, La Sorbonne, UCLA, and LMU. (There is a white lie in that list, and if you are the first to find it, lunch on me). My proudest title may be that of PhD dropout. A long story that I may relate in a future blog. Therefore, what to do with all the knowledge gleaned in classrooms in places as diverse as Provo, Utah [sic], Los Angeles [no sic], New York City [double no sic], Paris, France [triple no sic], (a second white lie, the prize now dinner on me). And after 25+ years of speaking french, I finally figured out why some foolish Americans erroneously use the phrase: "Pardon my French", at which point I usually cut them off (borderline insanity), before they offend my Mormon trained ears (not all Mormons swear, although Golden Kimball was quite good at it), and say "Well, I speak French fluently, and you probably are not about to use any form of French words. However keep in mind that the only French word I know that you may be about to abuse is a noun, not a verb."
