I think i already know the answer.

Should a doctor be able to say "i refuse to treat blacks"?
If there was a doctor out there like that, then we wouldn't get as many clients, then would he
I think people should be hired based on skill. Not hired because they are a minority, and therefore forced to hire him or her.

Why Doesn't the Media Interrogate Tea Partiers' Beliefs?

Why Doesn't the Media Interrogate Tea Partiers' Beliefs? - Newsweek

The media's enduring, and understandable, fascination with the Tea Party movement continues unabated, as this weekend's coverage demonstrates. Unfortunately, what appear to be false notions of objectivity—or perhaps a lack of interest in policy—is preventing that coverage from illuminating what the movement actually represents and what it would do if empowered.
I think the problem is the hodgepodge of different beliefs... the Tea Party movement has some basic principles (smaller government, less taxes, decrease spending)... other than that, there is a mixture of different beliefs by different groups as well as within the group... I would think everybody already knows that so why would anyone ask that? Apparently the author doesn't really know (perhaps the author should leave the cave every once in a while)...

NO, and they DON'T!
So what are you talking about?
The media doesn't ask the TP any questions, cause they don't want to hear the truth.

I seriously doubt an employer would say that. I never said they should not hire them because of their race but because of affirmative action (racism against white) lesser skilled and less intellegient people are hired simply because the color of their skin.People should be left alone to do what they want. Personally I feel safer and like I have something in common with my white doctor and up until 50 years ago it was the same thing then. Blacks went to their black doctor whites went to theirs.

Well yeah they are my personal feelings on which ones need to be cut. I can't think for everyone. People should their own ones that need to be cut but I can guarantee you I am not the only one that wants to cut the Department of Education and the IRS.
