If It's Ours Then Own It

We all recall when Obama was elected President how Republican minority leader, Mitch McConnell openly stated that his party would do everything possible to make sure Obama was a one term President. Personally, I believe the Republicans did all they could possibly do to reach that objective.

Aside from voting against Obama at very turn, their Fox News pundits were relentless nitpicking on matters of birth place, Muslim ties, Christian beliefs and Obama's perceived attitude of apologizing for America. There is no one who presents himself with a more arrogant, pseudo patriotic posturing than Sean Hannity. He would make a mountain out of the molehill to suggest Obama is weak in this area of protecting America. Of course, the Republican Party leaders appear to be indifferent to others' pain and suffering as evident in the statements from GOP Presidential candidates, Trump and Bush who dismissed the recent Oregon massacre as 'stuff happens.'

Well boys, America owes many American families and Iraq families an apology. And while we are apologizing to those folks for causing so many deaths over 'nothing' we need to apologize to the Afghan families whose love ones we killed by a mistaken bombing this week when a hospital was destroyed by United States Air Force. Stuff, indeed, may happen, however when it's bad stuff caused by a mistake in judgment, we owe the victims an apology.

Apology is not a sign of weakness...it is a sign of compassion and Christian love as taught by Jesus...but that's another thing Fox and Friends toss about with phony bogus rhetoric.
