Mary Schmich, a liberal columnist for the Chicago Tribune, discusses the hubbub over speculation over whether Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is a lesbian. She provides the "proof," such as Kagan being childless, her being 50 and never having married, her bulkiness, and of course, Kagan's softball playing.Schmich goes on to write that even if Kagan is really a lesbian, not all gays support same same sex marriage, and some straight people do, so her sexuality, whatever it is, shouldn't matter.
Then she shoots down a stereotype by foisting another on her readers:
Kagan's sexuality can't predict her vote. Anyone who thinks judges vote their autobiographies should check with Clarence Thomas.
You can't judge a judge by her dating history.
Whoah...not all blacks are enlightened liberals like Schmich. And Thomas is not the only African American who is a conservative. Pictured with me on top is Kevin Jackson, the author of "The BIG Black Lie: How I Learned The Truth About The Democrat Party."
On the right is fellow conservative Lloyd Marcus,
a Tea Party Express performer. He's an author too, Marcus' book is "Confessions of a Black Conservative."There are more black conservatives out there. Some are in the closet.

Hi John; I sense that this type of group think is on its way out. There are a number of black GOP candidates vying for election this year, not the least of whom is Colonel Allan West. My beef w/Kagan is she's a liberal, a relatively young liberal at that. Yuck and yipes!!!!
The poor woman plays on a softball team, owns a pair of Birkenstocks, and suddenly everyone just assumes that she is a lesbian. How sad. How sad.
Wouldn't it be nice if we all examined her record, and long list of poor - reactionary decisions - rather than if she doesn't like boys?
The fact that 8 of her potential peers disagreed with her decision to kick recruiters out of Harvard because she disagreed with the military policy of 'don't ask, don't tell' speaks more volumes of her ability and worthiness to serve on the SCOTUS than anything going on in her bedroom.
