you fucking liberals.

liberalism is a religion too, don't deny it!

Reprinted below is an exerpt from a Wall Street Journal article on programs maintained by large businesses in the United States that grant explicit race-conscious preferences in hiring suppliers.

The program is not mandated by government. Note especially the demand of General Motors for race-based billings information. Remember this the next time you buy a car.

In this case the explicit race-based hiring involves outside legal counsel.

Good Counsel For Minority Lawyers

THE COLOR OF LAW is changing, according to Roger N. Gordon, publisher of the Minority Counsel Report. Some 18% of the current first-year law school class is black, Hispanic or Asian. The Washington, D.C., newsletter advises aspiring lawyers of color on getting the most out of corporate initiatives to engage more minority lawyers as outside counsel.

Some 200 major corporations and 300 to 400 minority partners and minority-owned law firms participate in programs begun by the black American Bar Association. Other companies are using more minority lawyers, Mr. Gordon says, as the movement has gone "from a 'good thing to do' to being an intrinsic part of strategy for lowering outside counsel expenditures."

Since 1987, General Motors has increased billings with minority law firms and partners to well over $7 millionn last year, without substantially raising the costs of hiring outside counsel, says David A. Collins, general counsel for GM's Saturn division. Like all small firms, minority firms "are lean and hungry with low overhead and less complacency," Mr. Collins says, but that shouldn't lead companies "into assuming that minority attorneys should be asking for less compensation in return for cracking the barriers."

Mr. Gordon notes that publicly regulated firms and those that regularly appear before urban juries also are using more minority lawyers. He advises minority attorneys to look for a mandate from top management and to examine how it affects dealings with nonminority firms. GM, for example, requires law firms to break out billings by race and gender, and notifies firms of its "comfort" with being assigned minority partners, Mr. Collins says.

Better turn this into a religious debate, quick, or it's going to be moved to the "Politics" forum.

Liberalism

A 19th-century Protestant movement that favored free intellectual inquiry, stressed the ethical and humanitarian content of Christianity, and de-emphasized dogmatic theology.

A 19th-century Roman Catholic movement that favored political democracy and ecclesiastical reform but was theologically orthodox.



Last two points are rather interesting... religion started liberalism to form government... meaning then, that, by your own definition, government is religion, meaning that seperation of church and state doesn't exist... interesting... idiotic, but interesting...

Right wing moron.

BEING CONSERVATIVE IS A RELIGION TOO, OLOLOLO ARNT I SMART???

Now that that is out of the way, honestly, what the fuck are you talking about?

I read your article, but there was nothing in it that pointed to liberalism (a very "liberally" used word in the first place) as having anything to do with religion, let alone being one.

It seems like people want to label everything as a religion, be it evolution, a belief in aliens, potato chips...

I think Upright Citizen's Brigade is religion. And if i didn't already give my soul to Jesus, UCB would drive a hard bargain.
