Little Rock Commemorates 50th Anniversary of School Desegregation

So much progress and yet.....

Now that you've figured out where Mike's America is hiding... I thought I would share with you an historic scene I witnessed yesterday:

I visited Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas as they prepare for the 50th Anniversary of the civil rights struggle to desegregate the school.

It was a Republican President, Dwight Eisenhower, who in 1957 federalized National Guard troops which had initially blocked the nine black students from entering the school and ordered them instead to protect the student's right to enter.

Democrats fought hard AGAINST against every early effort to extend the full blessings of liberty to ALL Americans. They've changed of course in later years, even to the point where they now would extend virtual citizenship to terrorists captured while attempting to kill Americans overseas!

As a contrast and a sign of how some things have yet to change, this tumbledown home of a black family sits less than a block away from the school. Trillions of dollars in tax payer funds to fight poverty and blacks who vote overwhelmingly for Democrats still live like this in the heart of "Clinton Country?" I thought Clinton cared so much more for the less fortunate? Apparently, "caring" doesn't count!
