Perhaps it's time for...Pope Francis, to stand in the gap for Argentina. And ask the people to humble themselves, ask the world to forgive them for being willing accomplices, after the fact, to the Nazi regime and their crimes.
There is an unequivocal difference between an apology and repentance. The dictionary states that the word repent means to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better; be penitent. While apology means a defense, excuse, or justification in speech or writing, as for a cause or doctrine.
From insinuating that religious believers are stupid to calling the "duty" to fight global warming "sacred" and enthusiastically, if disingenuously, lauding the "beautiful" religion of Islam, Sec State Kerry is off to an incoherent start.
"There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life." ~Frank Zappa
The Tinseltown double standard: Hollywood, the center of American popular culture, is afraid to insult Islam, but when it comes to Christians and their faith, it's open season.
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." ~William Shakespeare
Through the prism of Christopher Dorner's violence, we are now able to see the true character of the Leftist persona. As they revelled in Dorner's rampage they revealed their hatred for justice and the rule of law.
So the mad monster, who made his foundation the unhinged whimsy of the Left, is now a Crispy Critter. Finally...
Our woes have a source. It's not a weapon that can be locked and loaded. It's a disastrous ideology that continues to be implemented, expecting different results...yet the results remain the same.
"The madness of liberalism is that it always shifts the blame away from the perpetrators [of evil] to America. We are the only nation that has this developed sense of self-hatred, an irrational self-loathing that borders on the mentally insane." – Ellis Washington
The new normal rhetoric from the administration any time there is a terrorist attack is to claim that "we don't yet know who did it or why and an investigation is ongoing." But, generally, this is a lie because we do know who did it.
"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something." -- Plato
The John Kerry era at the State Department seems unlikely to have any particular positive impact on the impasse between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
"The existence of Israel is an error which we must put right. This is our opportunity to wipe out the disgrace which is Israel which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear- to wipe Israel off the map." ~Haji Abdul Rahman Arif, president of Iraq 1966-68, on a Radio broadcast, 1 June 1967
In questioning Hillary Clinton about Benghazi, only one Republican Senator had the backbone to confront the former Secretary of State directly. Cheers to Rand Paul, but what a shame that the rest of the GOP showed themselves to be administration lapdogs.
"To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men." ~Abraham Lincoln
Disarming the citizens is ALWAYS done piecemeal. It's how Creeping T (creeping tyranny) occurs. Law by law. Precept by precept. Fiat by fiat. Decree by decree.
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
The gun grabbers are again on the warpath, arguing that the Second Amendment doesn't mean what it says. But it does: the government has no right to disarm the people.
"I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." ~George Mason, Co-author of the Second Amendment during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution, 1788
Chuck Hagel's apparent long-term disdain for the Jewish people should disqualify him from the position of Secretary of Defense.
"The political reality is that... the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here.... I've always argued against some of the dumb things they do, because I don't think it's in the interest of Israel.... I'm not an Israeli senator." ~Sen. Chuck Hagel
Terrorism is a criminal enterprise conducted by thugs and cowards. So what does that say about those, like Hamas, who use terrorist tactics?
"Hamas and other terror organizations are guilty of committing two crimes: hiding behind civilians [in Gaza] while firing on civilians in Israel." ~Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli PM
Tens of thousands of Americans gave their lives and health to fight the Korean War. This year, many decades later, they were finally honored in the Tournament of Roses Parade.
"Our nation honors her sons and daughters who answered a call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met". ~Plaque of the Korean War Veterans Memorial
