(wrote a bunch of liberal BS)

Craig, you first thanked me for stating that you are a liberal, now
you're doing a Clinton back-peddle.  Craig, if you are pro-homosexual
rights, pro-abortion on demand, and favor Affirmative Action, you
qualify for free membership to NOW, ACLU, and GLAAD.  Im certain you
would not call yourself a "Republican".
Liberals like yourself often push for government programs rather than
face the real cause of a problem.  To a liberal, government is almost
always the answer.  If only liberals would "Legalize Freedom".
Affirmative Action is immoral at best, but probably illegal because it
favors one race over another.  The root problem is that liberals believe
a certain percentage of minorities should be present in our
universities, however, these same liberals never stop to consider the
real reasons behind the low levels of  minority students in our
schools.  
Failing inner city schools must take some of the blame.  But, why are
these schoools failing?  Are the students being insturcted in subjects
that will prepare them for college?  What about their family life?
Do they have a very concerned parent at home? Do they have both parents
at home?  A home with dedicated parents is the best environment for any
child.  Liberalism often trys to replace parents with government
programs, but this never works.  Students need and require a solid
family sturcture where there is at least one very concerned parent
helping the child all along the way.  There are exceptions to this rule,
but in general, children must be brought up properly if we expect them
to function properly.  Government programs and hired hands are no
substitute for a warm, caring family environment where education is
given high priority.  Clearly, liberals like yourself are out of touch
with reality when you use terms like racism to describe the reason why
so few minority students attend college, or post graduate programs.
This is but one more example of how liberals like to divert blame. 
Rather than hold the student or the parents at fault, blame is shifted
off onto another race.  If you're going to hand me a list of social
causes, don't until you explain to me why asian students who come here
from a totally different country and culture can accomplish what native
minority students seemingly cannot.
The excuses given for libearalism are old, tired, and dead.
