Moral Equivalent?

Catholic Heirarchy has been justifiably condemned for being passive in the face of solid evidence about pedophile priests. Because of public exposure and being dragged to near financial ruin because of it they are at last strongly acknowledging the abuses and are painfully selling off Church assets to pay multi millions of damages. This has been a sad chapter in the North American Catholic Church; one that will require generations into the future before getting this stain wiped out, if ever. It would be like asking for the Inquisition to go away.

Similarly, for 20 years Barack Obama and, it must be said, many other black Americans in many congregations, have tolerated these anti American rants and outright stupidity and claims to victim hood. Whether or not Obama gains the White House in November, the damage done among American whites and sincere patriots in general will take a long time to heal. Platitudes, belated acknowledgements and weak excuses will not suffice. Most White Americans think full equality is actually here if blacks will only rise to the occasion. They will be welcome with open arms.
