Friends (if any),

One thing that bothers me about a lot of people's political thinking is that they will not depart from the conservative or liberal platform in any area. An example would be a conservative who is pro-life, favor capital punishment, and quite possibly, skeptical of global warming. Right down the party line. And of course the liberal example would be a person who believes in women's rights, and is in favor of alternative energy sources as opposed to drilling for oil. The liberal's kid plays soccer while the conservative's kid plays peewee football. Having said that, I will now demonstrate my liberal conservatism. Or is it a conservative liberalism?

Anyway, for years I have been painfully aware that the United States still allows two types of discrimination, discrimination that should logically be unlawful based on anti-discrimination laws focusing on race, religion, sexual orientation, and age.

One group that is discriminated against is white folks. Particularly white males. The discimination comes in the form of Affirmative Action and various anti white male quotas. I sound pretty darn conservative, huh?

However the second group that faces discrimination is gays. And the discrimination comes in the form of anti-gay marriage laws. Now I'm sounding awfully liberal, aren't I?

No gay couple should be denied the right to marry. And there should be no white male passed over or rejected because he is either white or male. As for the gays marrying, the usual proclamation is, Marriage should be between a man and a woman. My reply is, Says who? You'd better not answer that by saying "God", because my god says that it's okay for gays to marry. And my god is equal to your god. I know because the Constitution says so.

As for white male discrimination, if a white guy is more qualified then he should get the job, or the seat in the classroom, whatever the case may be. It's time to end that discrimination too. After all, a black man was elected President.
