I'm sure that both Dems and Republicans, once in office or after becoming involved in politics, return favors, favor friends and "scratch each others' backs," so to speak.

Exactly. Liberals want us to be taxed to death to pay for welfare and crap like that. I think what it's saying is that because taxes are so high, it prevents a minority from crawling out of the hole. *I'm not saying it's right, and my explanation for this one might be wrong, but thats the way I understand it*

2. Where's the government monopoly on education?

I dunno about the "government monopoly" but when you think about the "good" schools, etc etc, there arent very many minorities in them. People, before you start bashing everythign I'm saying, understand where I am coming from. I can tell you from experience that I went to a VERY GOOD high school, Georgia School of Excellence, etc etc. There were, on the other hand, schools that were MOSTLY minority (if you were white, you were THE minority). Of course, alot of this has to do with the way the school district lines are drawn. Minoirites (at least here in the metroatlanta area) tend to live in close proximity to one another, therefore, most of the kids go to the same school. Maybe thats the monopoly AXiD670 - the way the district lines are drawn, "Keep all the minorities out of our white school" or whatever.

3. Umm, I thought the point of affirmative action was to prevent women and minorities from being adversely impacted by the good 'ole boy network (see item #1).

Affirmative action blows. If I were a white male with 10 times the qualifications as a minority, AA prevents me from getting the job, which is total crap. Again, the way the statement is written on the shirt is true - democrats thrive on Affirmative Action...if they truly thought that minorities were "equal" then everyone would be treated equally, instead of giving special help to those of color, or those who were women.

I'll admit, I dont know. But it'd be pretty dang funny if it is true. I wonder if it's actually on the PW website somewhere.

Liberal policies, in general, such as AA, etc etc etc, prevent minorities from moving forward. Because liberal policies thrive on hand outs and "gimme gimme gimme" crap. It's like....let me think of a good example....sort of like a child who is grown to be dependent on their parents, rather than learning how to be independent and take care of themselves. It's liek the parents have treated that child in such a way, and molded that child to believe that he or she cant survive without the parents, so that child is too afraid to venture out into the world on their own.
I didnt say you had to like my answers, my answers might not be right, but thats the way I perceive them to be. That's why I find it SO FUNNY. Because it is playing on the irony of what liberalism actually is. It's a satire shirt, yeah, thats it.
