Group Identity Trumps Ability

In 1963 Martin Luther King gave his famous "I have a Dream Speech," in which he said:

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Forty-six years later the liberals still have not heard that message - to them everything is about book's cover and not what's inside. Everything to them is about Group Identity - they look at a black man and don't see a person, they see a black person; they look at a women and don't see a person, they see a female. The same applies when it comes to sexual orientation - for liberals it is more important that someone is gay rather than just being a person. S. E. Cupp has a column over at Townhall-dot-com: Really Talented Performer Wins American Idol; Liberals Blame Christians. Apparently, for liberals it is inconceivable that someone other than the Gay Guy could win the American Idol contest.

Liberals are once again falling back on the only explanation they can ever muster when an anointed protégé or pet cause du jour loses: blame the backwards, hickish, intolerant Christian masses.

As long as the liberals cling to their outmoded and outdated views on race, gender and sexual orientation we will never reach our goal of a tolerant society. That Mr. Lambert did not win the Idol contest has nothing to do with his sexual orientation or whether or not Christians voted against him. Only the left considers sexual orientation to trump talent. I think that it is time for the left and liberals in general be required to actually sit and listen to what Dr. King actually said in his speeches - I have - I have the entire collection on my MP3 player and from time to time I listen to them. I think that the liberals might be shocked at how very little they understand about race, gender and sexual orientation relations - they might have to actually rethink things.
