Political Correctness at the Terrorism Hearings

You just knew this would come from a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, didn't you:

Congressman Al Green, Texas Democrat, found himself in a heated debate with Republican members on the Homeland Security Committee on Thursday over whether or not the Ku Klu Klan should be considered a terrorist organization. Rep. Peter King, New York Republican and chairman of the committee said, "There is no equivalency of threat between al Qaeda and Neo-Nazis, environmental extremists, and other isolated madmen," Peter King said. "Indeed, by the Justice Department’s own record, not one terror-related case in the last two years involved neo-Nazis, environmental extremists, or anti-war groups."

Congressman Dan Lundgren, California Republican, followed up on the issue saying: "I would say to those who criticize us for a singular focus here that I have been on panels that have investigated the continuing presence of Nazi war criminals in the United States," Lungren explained. "I've been there where we've examined the Ku Klux Klan...and skinhead groups and militias."

I'm sure somebody can find the information, but I'll bet it's been quite some time since any significant terror activity or killing could be traced to the KKK. They're little more than an anachronism these days. I'm sure they're still out there, but they certainly aren't carrying on the reign of terror they once did.

However, today's political correctness demands that Muslims be defended and enemies who have faded into the past be drug up again only because their former targets were blacks. The members of the Congressional Black Caucus have never psychologically advanced beyond 1964.

If you're looking for racism in America, how about looking at congressional caucuses based solely on race?

Kerry Pickett from the Washington Times interviewed Rep. Green and the transcript from that interview is at the link.  You ought to read it - Green is a nitwit.

In the same hearing another CBC member, Rep. Sheila Jackson (Boss From Hell) Lee, lectured the committee on how we have a "living and breathing Constitution".  Uh, no we don't.  As Dr. Walter W. Williams says, the Constitution is the rules by which our government operates.  How would you like to play me a game of poker and have the rules be "living"?  Maybe under the "living" rules my pair of deuces beats your full house.  How would you like that?

Rep. Peter King, whose is chairing the committee hearing, is holding firm to the goal of the committee - radical Islam and especially the homegrown terrorists.  Right now that's all that's important, no matter what the political correct and somewhat addled think.
