The shine of one of the progressive left’s icons has recently been tarnished. I liked to say that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg may be mellowing with age, but it seems like she has been aged for decades.
However, she did stun a whole lot of nouveau-leftists in her interview with Yahoo’s resident shrew, Katie Couric.
Many younger liberals have come to call Ginsberg "the Notorious RBG,"
for her stance on abortion and such, but it appears she may have lost
the gangsta moniker when the topic turned to something I’m sure Couric
and most leftists would consider “safe.”
Katie brought up the Colin Kaepernick
National Anthem flap that so many, including me, have been talking and
writing about for many weeks. I don’t know what Couric was expecting to
hear, but I can guarantee it wasn’t this.
Couric asked Ginsberg: “How do you feel about 49ers player Colin
Kaepernick and other NFL players who have basically refused to stand for
the National Anthem?”
Her answer more than likely surprised Couric, as Ginsburg responded:
“What do I think – I think it’s really dumb of them. Would I arrest them
for doing it? No.” She chuckled, adding that, “I think it’s dumb and
disrespectful. I would have the same answer if you asked me about flag
burning. If they want to be stupid – if they want to be arrogant, there
should be no law that prevents that.”
Unfortunately, in this segment, the camera is pointed only at Ginsburg, so we can’t get Couric’s reaction, which was probably one of confusion and dismay.
Ginsburg added that she thinks flag burning “is a terrible thing to
do, but I wouldn’t lock a person up for doing it.” May I ask how many
people have been arrested and jailed for kneeling during the Anthem or
burning a flag? I’m going to say exactly none. I’m also struggling to
recall anyone suggesting such a thing. Possibly – but certainly no
reasonable American would do so.
I must say, I have not seen or heard this reasonable side of
Ginsburg, and, frankly, her answers gave me pause. I didn’t expect her
to say this, and I’m certain the new radical left didn’t. I’m sure they
expected her to lionize Kaepernick as the second coming of MLK.
As we’ve witnessed before, the new radical left has no problem eating
the older members of the liberal pride for not being radical enough.
It’s quite amusing.
Attn.com highlighted some in the Twitter-verse who believe, “Ginsburg is a white woman who may not understand the struggles facing people of color.”
One of the most telling was from Ebony Iris, who tweeted, “Ruth Bader
Ginsburg’s comments should not be surprising. Even most ‘progressive’
of white people see the world thru the lens of white privilege.”
And Morgan Jerkins tweets: “Maybe we should stop calling Ruth Bader Ginsburg the Notorious RBG. Am I right or am I right?”
And there it is. The bloom has come off the rose. Ginsburg had a
great run, but now it’s time to throw her under the bus – all for daring
to have a differing opinion on one single issue. Not very becoming from
those who preach diversity and the Big Tent.

Looking through my lens of white privilege I see myself providing medical care, food stamps, welfare, housing and other benefits to all of those scum bags that are to lazy to work when they are able.
Because most of these people dropped out of school they only qualify for lower paying jobs with the dropping out of school because of being lazy.
Many of these jobs paying around $15. an hour but they want to work for $50,000. dollars a year or they don't want to work. They think like morons. Employers are having real problems finding workers and I see signs everywhere here in N.Y. needing workers.
You will see many people 30 years old that have never had a real job. I was part of a poll and almost 25% had never worked. Many of same people when they do get a job soon get fired because they want to play around and not do their job for which they were hired.
These scum need to grow-up and take responsibility for there own lives.
As a white person I would rather not have all of the privileges I've listed above as I am angry that I'm helping to support 49 million people that their mama's brought them up, most without fathers, to be no mind fumbling, lazy, helpless idiots. Ken T.
