...affirmative action; while we disagree with his opposition to these principles, they are not enough to reject his nomination. Yet Meese's role in many White House actions suggest an ideological rightist view of the law that goes beyond principled conservatism. Not only did Meese push tax exemptions for racist schools and Reagan's secrecy campaign, he also did all he could to gut the independence of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, to cut off legal aid for the poor, and to go as far as to call the American Civil Liberates Union a "criminal's lobby...
...still holding jobs (mostly Frenchmen). More than 20 immigrants have been killed or wounded in other incidents in France in the past year. At least seven, including a ten-year-old boy, were victims of snipers in the tense, ethnically mixed housing complexes outside Paris and other major cities. Racist harassment in Britain is so common that nonwhites no longer bother to report threats, insults or obscene letters to the police.

Less amusing is the fact that "merit" is usually trumpeted as the supreme good which affirmative action undermines, while in reality, anyone can name a thousand and one instances in which factors other than merit were taken into acount in, for example, getting a job. There...
...initial impassioned reaction to this might be that Graham, like so many other people in Washington, is a racist pig. But surely this description is unfair to the barnyard swine, who, for all their disgusting habits, do not steal food from starving children and then lie to escape responsibility for the resulting sickness and death. That has been the thrust of the Reagan Administration's policy, which Graham seems intent upon seeing continued...
