WALL STREET JOURNAL
-- UNACCEPTABLE: OUT-OF-WEDLOCK BIRTH RATE: White-28%, Hispanic-50%, Black-71%: The Tragedy of America's Disappearing Fathers - Juan Williams
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121340023355173717.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The extent of the problem is clear. The nation's out-of-wedlock birth rate is 38%. Among white children, 28% are now born to a single mother; among Hispanic children it is 50% and reaches a chilling, disorienting peak of 71% for black children. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, nearly a quarter of America's white children (22%) do not have any male in their homes; nearly a third (31%) of Hispanic children and over half of black children (56%) are fatherless. This represents a dramatic shift in American life. In the early 1960s, only 2.3% of white children and 24% of black children were born to a single mom. Having a dad, in short, is now a privilege, a ticket to middle-class status on par with getting into a good college.)

WASHINGTON POST
-- DIERSEN HEADLINE: Unacceptably, it is becoming increasing clear that Democrats will say that you are a racist if you do not vote for Obama. I was one of the 1,390,690 in Illinois who voted for Alan Keyes in 2004. Shortly after the Illinois Republican Party State Central Committee selected Keyes to run against Obama, I publicly asked Keyes to consider purchasing a home in my precinct. I arranged for Keys to speak at Wheaton's 2004 Patriot Day ceremony. I arranged for many Keyes signs to be displayed in my precinct and in downtown Wheaton.
