Legacy programs (step on in Joecoool)
Since race seems to be the topic of the day, I'll bring up another.
In a thread a while ago: https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/o...e-playoff.html You went off on a nice little rant about how legacy programs were racist and how they should be eliminated... the quote is below. Quote:
My reply was as follows: Quote:

You just got to love how Conservatives make friends.
Keep up the good work. |

Bingo, I made a attempt to get in touch with a very old friend who was a M/E working in the power plant industry....
so we talked on the phone once recently...caught up on some interesting shit,....but knowing him as probably liberal I stayed off poly ticks....but added him to my email list... caught a reply over some humor I sent out, dropped him from the list.... he went off like a typical liberal commie jackass.... oh well, I can't be friends with liberals either..... almost impossible.... |

Libertarians have to make friends, regardless of other's political leanings, otherwise, what, we are each going to have like maybe 1-2 friends, max?
I've got friends ranging from a bleeding heart social worker to a few folks that make the John Birch Society look like Code Pink. |

Thanks for making that CLEAR.
Therefore, from this point forward, you need not ever ask why individuals Vote the way they do. You’ve just clarified what I have thought for decades. I truly believe the best thing that has come from the resent Presidential Election is “Clarity”. Beyond any doubt, I believe that election has revealed the truth in political and social thinking. We look at each other, we wave, we smile, we talk at, but not to one another, but now we really do know what we think of each other … and for that, I’m grateful to see progress. We now know where everyone truly stands, there’s no ambiguity, and we can see it in the daylight now. If there’s anything I dislike the most about our President, is that he doesn’t get it. I commend him for his effort, and I commend him for his class, but really do think he doesn’t get it, and this is where he loses true Progressives. True Progressives are always moving “forward”, and if you’re not keeping up, you simply get left behind. Progressives don’t go backwards, if they like anything that happened in the past, they don’t go backwards, they bring it forward and make it better with the changing times. The further “right” President Obama goes, more the “ultra-right” makes him look stupid for trying. Anyone with eyes can see, he can never go far enough “right”. This is something President Obama needs to get across to the American People. We’re NOT going back to the Good-Old-Days; we may bring what is Good about the Old Days and make it modern and better. But he needs to let the people who what to go backwards go by themselves and die off like The Dinosaurs, besides, their time in space in limited anyway, so why waist the oxygen. The old way of thinking has a Generation or at most two, after that, they’re done. |

we now see our 1st affirmative action president. unqualified...and inexperienced...but got the job because of his skin color. DO NOT DENY IT! we also see the true racism from the left. and from many in the administration & the black community. DO NOT DENY IT! We now are living in the most politically correct times in American history. watch President Reagan's announcement speech in 1980 at the Statue of Liberty...listen to him tear into Carter (with facts)... (I looked but can't find the video/audio, but I will continue to search) I don't think any GOP candidate has the balls to "go there"...due to the infection of political correctness. |

We're peeved about legacy admissions? That's how the world works. may not be fair but it's certainly not illegal. |

Personally I am against legacy admissions... just like I am against any affirmative action for school admissions. ALL students, white, black, brown, or green should have the exact same standards, admission process, and access to funding. There should never be a scholarship, grant, or any other funding that discriminates against a student based on race, sex, creed, sexual orientation (yes, there are gay scholarships out there). At the same time if those things continue to exist (and they all do), there should be no issue at all with a straight, white, male scholarship... but we all know that the liberal idiots would never let that happen. |
