Why don't you try researching it a little. Better yet, check out this wonderful organization called the Center for Individual Rights. www.cir-usa.org. They have worked at specifically dismantling affirmative action laws. |
A couple of upper-class white guys fighting against Affirmative Action. Why am I not impressed (or surprised)?
I get a kick out of their belief that "Minorities can get into college without affirmative action by attending less competitive colleges."
Well, how generous of them! "Hey, you're
poor and
black -- what the hell do you need to go to a good college for? You should feel lucky to go to college at all!"
Instead of asking a couple of white boys what THEY think about Affirmative Action, maybe it's better to ask African Americans... and the NAACP certainly doesn't believe that Affirmative Action is racist.

Flip the switch...they deserve it!

A life that God created, is a life that God created. Pure and simple.
Why is it that Republicans think we should get to pick and choose which lives we should save and which we should spare?
It shouldn't be one or the other -- it should pertain to ALL lives. If we're REALLY going to follow "God's Laws," then we should know that it's not OUR place to take ANY life.

Yeah, because they protect gays and give them legal recourse if someone decides to go "fag bashing." And we wouldn't want to help
them out. No, what we need to do is to protect Bubba and Jim-Bob, so they can keep working on eradicating the gay scourge.

So your party is perfect and does everything in it's power to protect our civil rights? Right....  |
The Democratic Party is FAR from perfect.
They back down far too often because they're afraid of alienating fence-sitting voters... but at least they don't do that whole yellow-bellied, two-faced, "I have no problems with gay people, in fact some of my best friends are gay -- but I'm certainly not EVER going to do anything to protect their civil rights" Republican spiel.
