Today, LaShawn Barber adds more: Will Tom Hanks Call Blacks ‘Un-American’?
"Why were they focusing on Mormons, when 70 percent of black voters in the state
voted YES on Prop 8? Curious, but not complicated. I made the observation, as did Thomas Sowell, that white homosexuals hadn’t dared and would not have dared “march” to black churches and harass black churchgoers, although it would have made more sense for them to head down to Watts or Compton or up to Oakland and express their disappointment. Can you imagine such a scenario? I’d pay good money to see that.
Now I’m wondering the same about actor Tom Hanks. Singling out Mormons for voting to protect traditional marriage, Hanks called them “un-American.” An overwhelming majority of blacks supported the measure. I suppose the same applies to them, yes? Perhaps Hanks is waiting until MLK’s birthday on Monday or Barack Obama’s inauguration on Tuesday to make his pronouncement. What do you think? I’d pay good money to hear that.I love the last part of that post. So much misery has come from judicial activism that I'm sure should Congress take a stand, and tell the judiciary "hey - WE THE PEOPLE over here make the law, not you!" that life would be much better. Of course, that rarely happens as judicial activism tends to benefit one party over another. And it is a nice way to insert legislation (or constitutional amendment in stealth) into the culture - legislation that would never stand at the ballot box.
I concur with Michael van der Galien at Big Hollywood. “We the people” voting to amend a constitution is American. Legislating from the bench is not only un-American, it’s unconstitutional. Put down the scripts, Mr. Hanks (loved “Cast Away,” by the way), and pick up a copy of the Constitution. It’s a fascinatingly simple yet profound document."
