Discriminations: Thomas Oliphant: Liberal Sycophant |
 | | Thomas Oliphant, the Boston Globe columnist, is a reliable bellweather of which way the liberal winds are blowing. |
 | | Bush believes, as Oliphant recognizes, that Brown stands for the proposition "that every citizen has the right to the equal protection of law." It is certainly consistent with that view (as you know, I would argue that it is mandatory) to believe that racial preferences violate that principle because they require discrimination based on race. |
 | | By contrast, Oliphant, self-described "civil rights purist," purports to agree that "every citizen" has the right to be free from discrimination but is an ardent defender of racial preferences, i.e., distributing benefits and burdens based on race. |
