Buffy Wicks is said to have ties to ACORN, this self-proclaimed “Walmart Slayer” Buffy uses her prestigious appointed position, with a handsome salary and job-related perks paid by American taxpayers, to slay dissenters of the president. To silence conservatives. To spearhead boycotts (paid for by American taxpayers, including conservatives, by the way) against any businesses or talk show hosts who aren't “on board” with ObamaCare or anything else the government wants to shove down American citizens’ throats. To support and possibly fund partisan agenda, AGAIN with taxpayers’ money.

UPDATE: The White House has been caught on tape conspiring to use the National Endowment for the Arts to advance the Obama political agenda. The conference call involved Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.

no.
America is still full of Americans who will not stand for it, regardless of what may or may not be going on in Washington D.C.

I don't see any dictator taking over here. They would need the complete support of military and all police agencies, FBI, CIA, etc. The only way is if we were invaded and conquered. God I hope I am wrong.

Mhmm.
and i know soldiers are trained to follow orders but i think even they would not help bring about a dictatorship of their country, no matter what the Commander In Chief directed them to do.
i don't know where that talk is originating but i think it is dangerous. - 93

Obama's administration is making plans for him to be at the 2016 Olympics? A little premature I think.

Tucson schools create race-based system of discipline

…The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one for everyone else.

That sounds....odd. I'll need more context. Don't think it is being presented here.

I don't want to discuss this but here's what I WILL do. I'll make a bet with you! Just a friendly wager, no real gambling.
If Barack Obama turns the United States of America into a dictatorship or even seeks a third term I will share whatever food rations I still have as we're marched into the football stadiums for temporary reeducation housing.
If the United States continues as it has decade after decade, you'll write Barack Obama a sincere apology.

It's not Barak Obama's fault. Really. We've had a dictator, FDR, and have been heading toward a totalitarian state for about a century now.

With the goal of creating a “restorative school culture and climate” that conveys a “sense of belonging to all students,” the board is insisting that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data reflect “no ethnic/racial disparities.”
From the section of the 52-page plan titled “Restorative School Culture and Climate,” subhead, “Discipline”:
“School data that show disparities in suspension/expulsion rates will be examined in detail for root causes. Special attention will be dedicated to data regarding African-American and Hispanic students.”
The board approved creating an “Equity Team” that will oversee the plan to ensure “a commitment to social justice for all students.”
The happy-face edu-speak notwithstanding, what the Tucson Unified School District board of governors has approved this summer is a race-based system of
discipline.
Offenses by students will be judged, and penalties meted out, depending on the student’s hue. - 93

hmm so much for color-blindness.
that could create problems among the student body. some kids might be bad but not be punished whereas another kid is bad and gets punished, which is unfair. equal justice. hmm i wonder why the ACLU hasn't stepped in on this one.

Well, I have heard Tucson is one of Arizona's liberal ghettos...good university, etc., etc. And I'm using my experience of living in a liberal university town in interpreting this...but I would say it was like the Iowa City Halloween costume incident. The public schools (which are influenced by the university, but ARE not, lol, equals) declared, in a fit of political correctness, that no students wear witches or devil costumes to school for fear of offending people of alternative religions, but instead, costumes based on "literary characters." Which is just....OMG! I'm sure most see the problem? Think MacBeth, ie.
The Iowa City school system made national news and was kinda a laughing stock... So I'm thinking this Tucson thing is a similar thing. 'Good' instincts, lousy-ish comprehensive outlook. I'm gonna guess this idea gets a bit changed. - 94

That's because you did not get used to newspeak. You will eventually, but it will be too late. Read Orwell, for God sake!
