Jeff Sessions is not my favorite Senator, even though I also am from the south. He spoke at length on the senate floor about the threat imposed by judicial nominees who are affiliated with the ACLU. Really? I'll vote for candidates who offer their time and talents to the ACLU more reliably than I would for anyone like Sessions. What's wrong with the ACLU, anyway? Do you believe that they, and I, have a "liberal, progressive agenda"? He certainly does.

Here you can see the offending clip in which Williams admitted that he feels nervous when he sees people in Muslim garb on an airplane. I hadn't seen it until just now. Williams has a long history of working for human rights, and he is black. After he made this admission, NPR fired him, and he promptly got hired by FOX to the tune of a $2 million contract.

What happened here is in a way a repeat of something I observed in church a few Sundays ago. The pastor said that homophobia is a sin. Fear is a sin? Now NPR is saying the same thing. Nervousness around strangers in clothing representing so much = sin. This is ridiculous. This is a trap that liberals have fallen into. This is the disaster of PCism taken so far that people cannot even express their unbidden and unacted emotions. It's not even an opinion, it's an EMOTION. The opinion, being something concocted of reason in a quality man such as Williams, will not be bigoted. But emotions? I suspect that any reasonable person in Arab dress would understand that Williams is not a hater, he is simply human. We would all get along better if we allow each other to be human.
