But you instantly think anyone who opposes affirmative
action is a racist.
When did I ever say that? I just said that there is much need for reform and the system should rightfully base merit and not race as a judge of qualifying.
If you think you're like one of these smug liberals you see in movies who are surrounded by dumb hicks (who don't seem to exist outside the silver screen) and continually prove them wrong, you're a deluded idiot.
No. I wouldn't consider myself a "Liberal" at least not in the modern sense.
You haven't contributed anything to this discussion.
Ignorant bigotry doesn't contribute much to discussion either. I'm against collectivist ideologies like racism and bigotry. They subjugate individual liberty and freedom for people on both sides of race. It's destructive, and I won't have any part of it.
My favorite part was how all the media treated her pending induction into the Supreme Court as 'monumental' and 'a great step forward for America'. It was all like "Guys, we have to let her in because it's for America's greater good! Stop looking at her record and her beliefs, that's dumb! She's hispanic for christ's sake! Let her in!"
I didn't like that much either. I actually was watching some of her Senate confirmation hearing on C-SPAN, and many of the Republicans (including some Democrats) were skeptical of her being qualified for a position for the Supreme Court because of past cases during her tenure on the Second Court of Appeals.
Regardless of race, there seems to be an increasing misreading and misinterpretation of the Constitution, and the Supreme Court is not upholding it like it should. I agreed very much with the decision of
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. ___ (2008) which held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for private use.
I very much disagreed with the decision on
Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005) because it may open the doors to widespread Eminent Domain abuse.
