More From Jack Kemp

Affirmative action was designed originally for "women and other minorities" but the phrase has become just another tortured euphemism. female conscientiousness and eagerness to please have always made women good students and natural test takers. jews have gloried in scholarship throughout the ages, and asians of both sexes score so high on sats and iq tests that they regard affirmative action as an impediment. affirmative action really means favoritism for blacks for the sake of racial peace, but the favor is pure chimera, and so, increasingly, is the peace.

I think that we need more economic-based solutions to the problems afflicting the black community, and i think that that's a way to redefine affirmative action. i grew up with poor white people in west virginia, and i know there's a culture of poverty. i know that i've seen white people perform exactly the same pathological forms of behavior as black people do when they're systematically deprived, whether it's getting pregnant, doing drugs, dropping out of school, whatever we're talking about. i think that we should have affirmative action for poor white people too.

Affirmative action is not going to be the long-term solution to the problems of race in america, because, frankly, if you've got 50 percent of african-american or latino kids dropping out of high school, it doesn't really matter what you do in terms of affirmative action. those kids aren't going to college.

The australian way of affirmative action is setting goals and recognising discrimination and lack of opportunity and deciding to take action and setting some goals and targets. i guess i prefer that language to talking about quotas.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.

First, the desert is the country of madness. second, it is the refuge of the devil, thrown out into the "wilderness of upper egypt" to "wander in dry places." thirst drives man mad, and the devil himself is mad with a kind of thirst for his own lost excellence--lost because he has immured himself in it and closed out everything else. so the man who wanders into the desert to be himself must take care that he does not go mad and become the servant of the one who dwells there in a sterile paradise of emptiness and rage.

...if peace were the goal of today's intellectuals, a failure of that magnitude -- and the evidence of unspeakable suffering on so large a scale -- would make them pause and check their statist premises. instead, blind to everything but their hatred for capitalism, they are now asserting that 'poverty breeds wars' ... but the question is: what breeds poverty? if you look a the world of today and if you look back at history, you will see the answer: the degree of a country's freedom is the degree of its prosperity.

I don't see why a man shouldn't pay an inheritance tax. if a country is good enough to pay taxes to while you are living, it's good enough to pay in after you die. by the time you die you should be so used to paying taxes that it would just be almost second nature to you.
