any minority that graduates high school with a gpa over a certain level, let's say 3.2, should be promised a spot in state university, with tuition, books, room and boards paid for by the state.

agree?

It is highly unreasonable to place such a high bar on reparations, WalterMitty.  Most minorities do not perform well academically due to the violence perpetrated upon them by their betters in the social heirarchy.

What are you smoking today?

by the way this wouldnt have to be entirely a government unded adventure.  id expect private corporations to step up to the plate.

Maybe you should fund it since it was your idea.

BTW Do you ever have ideas based on Republican philosophy?

so i shouldnt be a republican because some libertarian doesnt think im republican enough?

i was born into a republican family.  ive been a registered republican since i first registered to vote in 1995.  ive voted for every republican nominee for president since my registration.  i vote mainly republican down ballot also.

are those qualifications good enough?

My point to you is that if you vote Republican you will be electing someone whose poliical philosophy does not square with yours. Your views are much more like the Democrats.

Its as if you are saying "I like wealth redistribution programs so I'm going to vote for someone who doesn't support wealth redistribution . It doesn't make sense.
