The reason you are having to decipher what I'm saying is because you have blocked out the statement from 99 44/100... that prompted me to say what I said. He was talking solely about the "more than ones" who consider themselves to be one race and ignore the other(s). See? There are obvious trends that people are being hired on qualifications only, but quotas are stopping the natural trend and reducing minorities to a "token" status that keeps them perpetually unequal by conveying that minorities can't get hired on their own...and we deserve better than that! No one forced you to say, "I would believe you." You shouldn't have said it then. Excuse me! There already are a lot of Blacks, Feminists, Gays, and Hispanics who vote Republican because they want equality...I should know, my whole family consists of those groups of people! You forget that discrimination has always been a Democratic platform...Oh, they now talk the talk to fool the ones who don't pay attention. But honestly, what action have they taken other than playing the race card and widening the divide?!?! Democrats pander to activist groups who don't want equality, they want special treatment not equal! The main reason Blacks, Hispanics, and Feminists vote Republican is American family values. The Democrats are on a tear to ruin the American family on all issues! Also, Feminists know that Republicans don't have this "hidden agenda" to abolish abortion, if that were true, Reagan was the one to do it, he didn't. Republicans wish to stop 7,8,9 month along fetuses from murder, which most women agree by that time it is, because we have seen sonograms. And gays are realizing that 8 years of Clinton left them pretty much empty handed, but 1 year of President Bush got them unmarried companion beneficiary compensation status! If you cared to educate yourself on the actions, not words, of both parties...you would vote Republican too!

Nah, the Baptists are the absolute worst...Episcopalians are somewhere down the line, probably after Methodists.

99 44/100% pure -
My sincere apologies...I just did to you what people always do to me...not recognizing a strong woman. I don't know how I missed the signs in your posts of an intelligent strong woman, now I see them. But this has nothing to do with " the white male-dominated culture", it has to do with me not paying attention...and I know better because it also happens to me. I slacked, I apologize.

If affirmative action wasn't in place, would society keep people perpetually unequal? That's all affirmative action tries to do. I don't disagree that the program should be re-examined (all social programs should be from time to time; it keeps them effective), but I haven't seen any reason to end it, nor a good replacement. And yet studies continue to be released that show minorities make 50-60% to every $1 whites make. They deserve better than that. Quote:
Show me Lott's actions that were in contradiction to his long-standing voting record, and I'll believe you. But you and I both know that those don't exist. Quote:

Democrats used to be the party of bigots and misogynists. Now their only real refuge is a wing of the Republican party. Quote:
(http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/02/politics/02ABOR.html) And what a bunch of generalities! My god..."the Democrats" "Feminists" "most women"....how do you know that Feminists (with no qualifier, so as to imply that the majority of Feminists think this way) know this? Or that most women have this idea about murder? Opinion poll have consistently shown around 2/3 of the population supporting a pro-choice stance. Just to let you know. Quote:

There's also the large pro-war, anti-abortion, anti-environment, anti-gay, pro-big business, etc. etc. stances that push me away from the Republican Party.

Can't you and Radar just turn down the volume a bit, so we can all hear ourselves think? Or maybe you could just argue one point at a time? Thanks.

I also try to avoid big business but I dont think they are "evil" or corrupt, just a pain in my ass. I'm not anti- gay, black, or minority. I do think that unions are just plain fuking useless though

Also, never acknowlege anyone is even partially correct and keep the debate going even if it is reduced to proving the sky is blue.
