The Hills they Die on #2 - Affirmative Action

Is affirmative action needed today?

If you listen to democrats, you'll never find one who will say it's time to get rid of it. This, despite the fact that today we have an African American presidential candidate and a female vice presidential candidate.

But ask the question, how is it possible for a black man to achieve this status without the benefit of affirmative action? And if this is possible, why do we insist on a policy that taints the accomplishments of people targeted by affirmative action?

The most you will ever get from a democrat on this issue is a Bill Clinton rhyme of mend it... don't end it.

Since the introduction of prop 209 in California, there has been little change in the enrollment of minorities in California universities. So why do we insist on a policy that undermines the success of targeted groups?

So if you go to a democratic function and you are against affirmative action. My advice to you is to keep your eye on the exits. That's where you'll be headed when you expose your views.

Because, for democrats, it's a hill they'll die on.
