If this had been the first bone-headed, obnoxious thing King had ever said I would agree with that.
Just for once lets use the "equality" metric.
Will either the bug eyed woman from the Bronx or Mz. unapologetic "Impeach the Motherf***er!" Muslim from Michigan get censured?
Will they be stripped of any assignments?
The increasing apologetic knee-jerk reaction to every feigned insult over Western (yes, Caucasian, too) Civilization (Yes, we built this!) being the superior form of human existence to this day will destroy not only this nation, but will propel humanity into a new dark age few here can imagine.
It was the tenets of that Western Civilization that brought about this country, our Constitution, and the entire American way of life--and has saved the rest of the world from worse, when it did not demand it.
Stop the backpedaling, whiny apologetic attitude for being what we are, WHO we are, and quit shredding our own every time the Leftists point a finger. If so many groups once considered sick, criminal, etc. can parade their 'pride', why in the hell can't we just make a few factual statements about the historical background of our Liberty?
IMHO, the only thing King did wrong was to give the NYT pickers an interview. Those people are not friend to anyone to the Right of Karl Marx, nor an iota more virtuous than Satan himself. He could have spoken only of Jesus and puppies and they'd have found a way for someone to be offended.
Even more unforgivable is the persistent syndrome of throwing anyone the media peep about under the bus with the clamor to be the one to back over them again and again--not by the Libmedia, but by the supposed conservatives in Congress.
With such standard bearers and defenders of the faith, this Republic is doomed.
