These same groups basically attract those who are looking for something and will find it, regardless of how much evidence is against them. By that I mean those who feel they are a victim of race will turn any statistic they can find into something that will show that. It no longer becomes searching for ways to bring about equality, but a means for a bunch of cry babies to try to turn any issue, no matter how innocent, into an issue of race or gender.

My other issue is that these same people who hold these views have next to no knowledge about the mechanics of how things actually work. Someone in Sociology may make claims about what this nation needs to do for economic equality, but they enter the realm of Economics (my major) and have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Did you see Obama's response to the capital gains tax? The far left would rather drag an entire nation down just so the dumbest and laziest in society get a little bit more? Talk about the first step to destroying an entire nation.

My main issue with liberals and the youth today (my generation and younger) is that far too many of them want change and have no reserve in making outrageous statements about things they do not understand, or even make an attempt to understand. I'm really sick and tired of the "I'll shoot everyone above me in the foot, so I can catch up," attitude.
