CBS did an amazingly fair interview on "60 Minutes" last night with Clarence Thomas.
Wendy Long and Kathryn Jean Lopez provide insight over at NRO.
Excerpt from the Long post:
"Justice Thomas's exhortation to blacks (and to all of us) to resist being 'victims' and to resist 'whining' is a call to avoid excuses for working hard and doing our best. It is a call, most specifically, to avoid dealing with the past evil of slavery and with lingering racism and bigotry by resorting to social engineering or government intervention to solve all our problems. Justice Thomas has never to my knowledge said, and I do not understand him to say now, that one should simply ignore actual, personal injustice or persecution and pretend that it doesn't exist."
Exactly.
Ignore all the garbage the Dems/Lefties/"Progressives" hurl back on this point.
It's just more of the same old tired rhetoric that is the essence of any pushback statement when one of their cherished agenda items is proven wrong or bad for our society.
I caught most of the interview with Justice Thomas and thought it was outstanding! I wish we had a full Court of Justices like Thomas.
