Do you know about the old one? 1950s, HUAC, Communist witch hunts? It was a real low point in American history, a time when our fears fueled the power grab of a hate-monger.
And now it's happening again. The issue is affirmative action, and the hate-monger is Roger Clegg. Here's an example of his tactics:
"The Center for Equal Opportunity has persuaded dozens of universities, employers, and state and local governments to end racially discriminatory programs, just by pointing them out (and, to be sure, also pointing out that they are illegal and could lead to, ahem, legal problems)."

I could continue at great length here about how the 14th Amendment was never intended to protect the mainstream from oppressed minorities. I could explain how it's a time-honored custom for those who have to keep what they stole to pit the rest of us against each other, knowing that if we unite against them they might lose. I could even show you how the minority groups are so small that if we gave them twice what we're giving them now, we'd lose about 10% of what we have. But I'm not going to do any of that. I'm just going to remind you that bullies are no more pleasant as adults than they were as children.
