The apology was great, and left much to be desired.

Flame » in reply to re: Better Than Saddam

Bowser — 5/8/2004 3:51:18 AM (archived)

M. A. - I was pleased that the President apologized. Maybe humility will make a comeback.

A problem with this apology is that as he was doing it he said that the perp wasn't America. That's not the way we do things. It isn't the America I know, he said.

If it wasn't America, who was it.

Until we all can admit this WAS America, a dark side of America, we are doomed to repeat it. And we all have our dark side. And, it has to be controlled, not denied.

Sorta like the person who got a DUI. I don't drink and drive, they say. That isn't like me.

They'll do it again.

        Dissent is not treason. Protest is not treason. Political speech is protected. - Mary Anne - 5/7/2004 9:43:26 PM

        Your reply is, as usual, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (n/t) - Mary Anne - 5/8/2004 3:32:33 PM

        Any military service is appropriate to use in a Presidential campaign, as long as the candidate is Republican. - Mary Anne - 5/9/2004 4:29:42 PM

- For the love of BUSH, get a blog. You can annotate, illustrate, revise and append in pretty colors. Print it oup and tape to the fridge for the wife and kids to praise. (n/t) - et - 5/7/2004 1:39:16 AM
