Rush Limbaugh says the affirmative action brief still keeps promoting race preference and its bad

Rush Limbaugh says the affirmative action brief is not what the speech said.

Does not even start to put a nail in the coffin of affirmative action and instead keeps promoting race preference. Does not know why Bush keeps doing this? He is not happy and spent the first hafe hour on it and first call had to do with this subject.

I think the President is a great man but there are times I disagree with him.

And then there are all those other times when you will just change your mind in a second, depending on what Ann Coutler or Ms. Malkin say. You have absolutely no principles unless somebody loans you some.

[PhiKapMom]

BOGUS is right! Ditto with the whiplash. Some people have absolutely "zero" credibility because they have no basic principles but put their finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing at that time!

[PhiKapMom]

Saw who posted and wouldn't even reply back to them -- credibility is nil! Last time I saw someone switch so much was clinton when he would agree to something with the Republicans, go back in the WH, and come out an hour later to tell reporters that he didn't agree to that at all (am sure he checked with the Mrs). That's what I feel like here.

"...if they read carefully, they'd see it's not true."

Sometimes reading carefully does not support their agenda, imo. The sky could be blue...but if pointed out by some of us.....the poster would argue in the face of all evidence.

Yes, I think there are some who come on these boards for the sole purpose of bashing President George W. Bush and those who support him. So reading carefully would only undermine their focus.

You forgot screen licking.

I have not had time to read all the posts so I don't know if this has been mentioned or if I am the only one who heard this on the news. It was about noon when I heard it. They said Condi Rice does not agree with Bush on the Michigan stand. She believes race should play a part in getting in. (Or something to that effect.)

Did you or anyone else hear this?
I did so like Condi. :-(

[TLBSHOW]

Truth hurts I know!

[Miss Marple]

So, if you disagree with Condi on one thing, you are throwing her overboard? Because she might be more supportive of affirmative action (which I don't think she is given other things I have read) you will discount all her good points?

[Spunky]

So, if you disagree with Condi on one thing, you are throwing her overboard?

No! Did I say that? It is just that I was so surprised hearing what I heard.

It's not quite that bad.

[Luis Gonzalez]

NO!!!

LOL!!!

I was being sarcastic.

[justshe]

Damn! Being rejected by the Nat'l Enquirer would have explained SO much...both regarding her and her staunch supporters. <|:o)

[Luis Gonzalez]

Why Todd? Because I commented on Malkin's style IN Malkin style?

You think that he would find his own wife's "journalistic" style offensive?

Does Jacko get to call on someone to kick Michelle's butt for what she wrote about him?

Live by the sword...well, Michelle (or her husband) knows the rest of that tune.

[Spunky]

Thanks for the link.

[TLBSHOW]

but the brief does not say that the use of race violates the Constitution. And that's the key.

Good college education has nothing to do with how many females/males/Chinese/Japanese/black/white/fat/skinny students are in the class!

I'm against race based awards in entry level college admissions. I'm also against legacy awards and athletic awards. Legacy awards need to be abolished along with race, and athletics needs to be a separate non-academic program since they function as a money generating farm team for professional sports.

I do think that there are programs where diversity in thought and culture are important. For example, in my field of engineering - and I would expect science and math are similiar - your ethnicity or gender makes no difference in your ability to demonstrate your skill. There's really not much room for diversity of thought at the undergrad level.

In other disciplines, International Relations and Political Science, cultural/ethnic diversity may be valuable, and political ideology should be diverse.

Makes for a complex set of factors for selecting faculty and students - and we've constrained it severely in a legalistic context which awards points on skin color - in many cases black and white. Generations that follow will be less inclined to identify themselves this way while Asian (a diverse group already) and Latin Americans will be pushing for awards based on brown and yellow as well as black and white.

On another theme in this thread ... Rush Shmush. Love his show, but "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

I have no clue about her it was just a different opinion. I know she wrote against trent and I was not happy then. I hear she is well versed on border patrol. Wrote a book?

The Baron von Steuben noted at Valley Forge a good American soldier has to understand the why and wherefore if his orders. If that is true of a soldier, how much more is it for us citizens -- in this case supporters of the President -- to examine and question his efforts. Better us than his enemies.

The founder of the martial art Krav Maga, Imi Sde-Or, said it pretty well, too: "Strict reckoning keeps good friendship," and also "One need not make peace with friends, only with enemies ..."

Enron was a place full of mutual enemies by that read, all pulled for Ken Lay, and didn't question much, now did they? It's a Tory attitude in the same sense of how it was in colonial and Revolutionary times. I'd rather be counted in the Sons of Liberty and a scrapper, than along for the ride of go-alongism. Be a "team" player, in its shut-up, keep your hand down form, and blinders on. A rot of a team that one.

Bush's speech highlighted the notion that a diverse student body is a required ingredient for good college education. That is not true. Good college education has nothing to do with how many females/males/Chinese/Japanese/black/ white/fat/skinny students are in the class!

You are correct, but don't expect too many here in this forum to agree with you. Most so called "conservatives" here on FreeRepublic have heard that liberal mantra so many times that they have come to believe it .
