Anti-Lynching Legislation

Black female blogger La Shawn Barber blogged A liberal commenter wanted to know what I thought about yesterday’s Senate debate on the failure to pass anti-lynching laws 100 ago. In light of the serious problems we face in the world and our own country, I think this apology is one of the dumbest, emptiest, most politically correct pile of rubbish I’ve heard about in a long time. We’ve got fanatics trying to kill us all in the name of their god and hiding among us. We’re being taxed to death taking care of deadbeats and criminals, while President Bush is sending even more of our money to brutal dictators in Africa. And the Senate apologizes for failing to pass anti-lynching laws 100 years ago?

Well said, LaShawn. What happened in the past was certainly wrong, but the Senate has a lot of important current items to focus it's attention on.
