Prof. Gates, like most highly “educated” leftist elites, seems to have an overinflated self-image. He also seems to believe that he can act in any manner he pleases because he possesses a “Get Out of Jail Free Card”, due to the fact his color, political ideology and university affiliation match those of the current resident of the White House. But now where did the esteemed professor acquire the opinion that he, due to his color and “status”, is somehow not subject to the same laws as the rest of Americans? Perhaps on the Harvard campus, which is known to be at bit like Havana, but with an arrogant chip on its shoulder? Could it be he learned such attitudes in a “church” similar to Rev. Wright’s, where race-baiting is known to be celebrated? Then again, could he have been playing to the lynch mob media, ravenously awaiting the opportunity to string up a policeman for daring to confront a black man? Shame on you, Prof. Gates, you are a disgrace. And shame on you, Pres. Obama, for jumping to conclusions. I only hope, for the sake of America, that your response will be more cautious and measured when confronting a crisis on the world stage. Sgt. Crowley, just keep doing your job. The America I live in is proud of you.
