Michigan Ruling Proves This Country is Really Screwed UP

The SCOTUS got it half right which means they got it all wrong. By refusing to stike down college preferences given strictly for race, the court has again proven that political correctness has run amok in this country.

The issue is not complicated, some people see minorities at a disadvantage in this country due to slavery which ended 150 years ago. The social programs which have throw billions of dollars at this 'problem' for over 50 years are not considered enough. What is enough?

Excuse me for being foolish but I think anyone in this counrty can do anything they want if they just decide to apply themselves. Affirmative action based on race is BS, IMO. I am white and I respect Allen Keys, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Michael Jordan, but when somebody like Chief Moose can rise in the ranks because of race, then the system is broken.

In the upcoming democratic primary (2004) ...

BIG AL NEEDS OUR HELP! - Register as a democrat and vote for Crazy Al!

Rev. Al Sharpton is officially running for president in 2004.

During the May 3, 2003 demoncrap debate in Columbia, S.C., our man Al stated “The way to move a donkey is to slap the donkey,” and “I’m going to slap the donkey until the donkey kicks”.

Let’s help Crazy Al slap the donkey until it kicks.

Assume GW has the Republican nomination sewn up. Its time for all good republicans, libertarians, and independents to stand up and be counted. Lets take a page from Sen. McCain’s play book. Prior to the 2004 democratic presidential primary in your state, re-register as a democrat and vote for Al Sharpton!

Wouldn’t it be great if Crazy Al won! At the very least, lets ensure he gets prime time speaking rights at the 2004 nationally televised democratic convention. You gotta love it. Line up, sign up, and send this to all your like-minded friends.

Here is a link to planned 2004 primary dates from the National Association of Secretaries of State:

Oh yea, and don’t forget to call the local demoncrap party headquarters and ask them the following before the primary election:

1. Can I get a ride to the polls – help them spend their money during the primaries so they’ll have less during the national election. Have them take you the scenic route and stop off and do some shopping on the way home.
2. Are you giving anything away free for voting democrat? Cigarettes, box of cigars, box lunch, etc. Ask for two of each.
3. Send 25 cents in the mail to the DNC and watch how much they spend on mailing you to give to the party. Always send their solicitation back to them with all associated literature in the prepaid envelope included in the mailing. They have to pay that postage upon return. Great way to help them spend money and keep you up to date on their propaganda.

Can you think of any other questions we should ask them?

Chief Moose is the poster boy for the abolition of afirmative action.

Hey now, Mayor Lee period Pee period Brown of Houston is certainly in the running. If you look up "incompetent" in the dictionary you'll see his picture. It's a duplicate of the huge sign at Bush Intercontinental he spent hundreds of thousands on.

The man never had a job he didn't fail at. Police Chief in Houston, Commissioner of Police in New York, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under Klinton, and Mayor of Houston.

I'll put Mayor Fudd up against Chief Moose any day.

You didn't even touch on the most important factor, IMHO. The Consititution says "No state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". (Amendment XIV Section 1)

At base what racial preferances are, no matter if it's minority that is prefered, or a majority, is denial of equal protection. There is no exemption for "Compelling state interests".

"Diversity" for its own sake, is not IMHO, a "compelling state interest" anyway. In a truly fair and evenhanded, race neutral, system, diversity will occur as a natural course of events.

The power of the state to specifically include a favored group, implies the power to exclude disfavored groups. Is this really what the liberals want? Of course the answer is YES, if THEY get to pick the disfavored groups.
