The only good bureaucrat is one with a pistol at his head. Put it in his hand and it's good-by to the Bill of Rights.-- H.L. Mencken December 16, 2002Trent LottHere is a quote from MSNBC news: Note a few things: Lott doesn’t ever acknowledge that his comment was in fact racist — so what is he apologizing for exactly? He doesn’t say. Instead of admitting his own guilt, he wants a “task force” — as if his racist remarks should be dealt as a social problem, not a racist attitude on his part. (If he’s not racist, he hasn’t explained what he “really” meant by his remarks.) As a response to his own racism, he decides to force it on others - by affirmative action. So what “convinced” him to support affirmative action and a national holiday for MLK? No answer. So does it then make any logical sense to change one’s political views in response to your actual political views being revealed? Of course not. It only makes sense to a politician who tells the public whatever he believes they want to hear, without bothering to define any principles or ideals to base his position on.
