Do liberals speak out of both sides of their mouths? Most of you will answer correctly, "Only when their lips are moving," as we on the distaff side have come to know quite well. Liberal hypocrisy has become so commonplace that we only remark on it nowadays when it is so outrageous as to be truly offensive. Al Gore comes to mind.
Over at National Review Online, Jonah Goldberg points out that all these liberals wetting their pants over the new illegal immigration legislation in Arizona might want to pause for a moment and look at the rather smelly mess they're standing ankle-deep in as they protest so loudly.
Goldberg notes that all the furor about racial profiling seems to ignore the fact that the most egregious forms of racial profiling are perpetrated most directly and most destructively right in those academic bastions of liberalism that produce most of these split-visioned loons. How's that? Hey, what on earth is affirmative action if it isn't racial profiling? And most especially when it is used to deny young, non-black and non-Hispanic students academic career choices that can impact the remainders of their lives? As Goldberg writes, having to show a cop your driver's license may be an irritating inconvenience, but being denied the opportunity to better yourself and society through higher education is a whole new magnitude of racial profiling.
You can't go to medical or engineering school because of a government-mandated, affirmative action program that requires a minimum number of black and Hispanic admissions, so there's just no room for someone like a Miss Chan or a Mr. Wojcieski? What's that? Your grades are much higher than any of theirs and you have no arrest record? Sorry, but we don't look beyond the race designation on applications until we've filled our quotas. Sorry but that's the law.
Think about that, folks; therein lies enough liberal hypocrisy to fuel a trip to Mars. It is no less than institutionalized, government supported, state-mandated racial profiling and yet it is one of liberalism's sacred cows. Deny a promising young Asian or white student who possesses the intelligence, the skills, the drive and most of all the character instilled by caring parents, to become a productive, contributing, successful member of society, solely, SOLELY, because they checked something other than black or Hispanic in the race block on their application?
That's not racial profiling, is it?
Aw hell no, folks, just ask any split-brained liberal and I'm sure he'll explain it to you.
It’s the judges that allow affirmative action as a legal excuse for racial profiling.
Otherwise AA would be just another leftist ploy making irrelevent, hypocritical noise.
The judges are the bottom line: anti-white, anti-straight, anti-male, anti-Christian.
That vile level of massive, systematic discrimination has become “the law.”
Oh, I guess when we have a black NAzi in power, we will be able to be called a minority, right? NOt.
Affirmative action is really for retards, not for color promotion.
That being said, the game is played around color, if there is one thing women of all colors want is white and rich asian males. So, keep playing the game of colors people, keep playing it, and we shall see where this disaster will lead us.
Affirmative action IS racial profiling.
Good post neverdem. Thanks for presenting this one to us.
You have Al Sharpton leading the charge, and he boycotted groceries because teh owners dared to be Korean in a black neighborhood. Got some people kiled in a firebombing of the store.
Mr. racial profiler himself.
Well they do not mind racial profiling so long as it is directed against a White person.
Have you checked the White House?
And here we sit with the first Affirmative Action created President. Please, God, make him a one termer!
Been saying AA is racial profiling for years. See my tag.
The answer is that liberals make up the rules as they go along, then defend their positions with ad hominem attacks and illogical reasonings. So it is easy for them - they never have to enter the land of Reality.

There is no legal penalty if you incorrectly declare your status. Call yourself what ever you want. I always state “mixed race”. If your genes show African ancesty, you can legitimately declare African American. If the application requries a picture, photoshop is your friend

This a head slapping moment, why didn’t I think of that example?
No; it’s to close to the truth so they will continue to lie about both.
