Please enlighten the rest of us how either statement has anything to do with whether someone is liberal or conservative. And then account for why many liberals (perhaps even most) do not approve of affirmative action.
so who is for it?

If one is conservative, no, because it will exacerbate divisions among people in the workplace.
If one is liberal, yes, because it will exacerbate divisions among people in the workplace.
Affirmative action is not however the only way to attempt to address that, nor do I think it is the best way.
Are you implying that because some liberals might agree with something therefore ALL or even MOST liberals must agree? Besides the liberal vs conservative view is a false dichotomy, there are far more political ideologies than just those and even those have many varied subgroups. There are even groups which are hybrids of both liberal and conservative views.so who is for it?
I'm not familiar with USA laws but existing laws here against discrimination based solely on religion, race, sexuality, age which provide for legal recourse (both through directly though court action or through government bodies) so long as the attribute of discrimination was not relevant to their occupation.The aim is that so long as employers base their employment choices on aspects that affect the employees ability to do their job then equitable employment will be emergent and market forces will deal with the complex pitfalls of demographics.What ways do you think are better?
On the other hand, according to Glen Beck, the real insidious problem is with the "Progressive" agenda in this country.

Well if any company only wants to hire white people that company will be out of business in a very short time! :rotfl:
I suppose that could put a company out of business depending on location, but shouldn't it be the right of a business owner to hire whoever he pleases, to discriminate regardless of the economic consequences?
Sure. A company should be able to hire whomever they want.
I was commenting that often the best workers in an industry are minorities, especially in technical fields. I live and work in the Silicon Valley. You go into any high tech company in the Bay Area and you see lots and lots of Indians, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc., especially in software and hardware development. If an employer chooses to limit his potential pool of workers he/she is going to be in a huge disadvantage and most likely not survive.

One thing at a time. The "Progressive" agenda is the current moniker for a system that has been tried for millennia and failed every time it's been tried. Once again, since we don't learn from history, we must experience it and watch it fail. This time from the inside looking out.On the other hand, according to Glen Beck, the real insidious problem is with the "Progressive" agenda in this country.

You're right on and I'm down wit dat.:up:
Progressive is just a made up word to describe liberals/socialist/nazi/commie by such individuals without using such buzzwords.
I've done plenty of thinking, the problem is my thinking contradicts your statements and I can't come up with any logical reasoning which might lead to someone stating what you did. So unless I develop the ability to read minds I can't figure if you've even done any thinking on the subject at all.:rotfl: Yet again, you request that I do your thinking for you.
