Affirmative Action for Republicans?
The whole canard of liberals in academe is being argued again, this time by a student at the University of Oregon. Forget for a moment that he chose to attend college in Eugene Oregon, where granola is a highly prized commodity. Dan Lawton seems to be arguing for affirmative action for Republican academics in his sloppily written columns.

1. (shrug) Affirmatve action has always been ok for white folks, and remains so...
It's just affirmative action for anyone ELSE that's racism. According to white folks, at any rate.

3. They whine about Sotomayor and firemen
then whine about the "liberal professorate" and the "liberal media" at the same time. The problem with Republicans is they don't know the meaning of consistency.

2. Considering that whites are becoming a minority, and people who only speak English will soon follow
Mr Lawton should learn to assimilate into American culture.

4. I suspect
white male Republicans will soon be placed on the endangered species list. I hope I live to see the day.
