Is affirmative action a right or liberty? Could it also be ‘constitutional originalism’? do we look at the constitution with subjective or objective eyes? If we are putting together a national platform…what if we approach diversity by saying that we do not want affirmative action?WHEN CONSERVATIVES TALK , they must emphasize SELF-WORTH Self-worth boils down to establishing the uniqueness of every single person and what they can offer to society….this is a basic decanting of the issues that we’ve been talking about at hand….over the course of the last two meetings, this one being one of those, several things have come to the surface. One thing is EMPOWERMENT and the other is SELF-WORTH. To be able to argue and build in elements of self-worth and the right to be empowered in that worth, to be better than being a domesticated Ferrell hog, we need the power to break free and really attain liberty that was original. For the sake of an intellectual debate I am not sure how to address the passion, the fervor, the self-worth and empowerment. Affirmative action is not always good and it is not always safe to compromise established standards. For example, if someone is a member of a minority and an academic, but if they are a minority, they may get into Harvard and spend the entire educational career on academic probation. You don’t need an affirmative action case to prove that life is harder for some and more regulated sometimes. Affirmative action is devisive. If you want equality on a national and regular basis….we are all put our pants on the same way. You are an American, not because you earned it. We all start out as the same but we have unlimited opportunity.
