Forget the war on terrorism. Forget mounting foreclosures. No, the one thing America must do is apologize for something that ended over 100 years ago. Without that mea culpa the country can’t go on! Gimme a break!

Let me tell you atonement crazy, guilt ridden, libtard weirdos something. I wasn’t a slave. My parents weren’t slaves. My grandparents weren’t slaves. My great-grandparents weren’t slaves. My great-great-grandparents weren’t slaves. To get to anyone in my family who MIGHT have been a slave you have to go back FIVE generations. I DON’T NEED YOUR F–KING APOLOGY!!!!

Representatives, Senators, get on with the nation’s business, and that business is NOT apologizing for slavery. America was NOT the only country in the history of mankind to practice slavery, and Blacks are NOT the only people to ever be held as slaves. Slavery is a HUMAN sin, not a sin only of Whites, Christians, and/or Americans. If Blacks really cared about getting an apology for slavery, if it really meant something to them, why aren’t they demanding one from the Arabs, who traded in African slaves for over a thousand years? Too bad no one in the House had the cajones to bring up that bit of inconvenient history.

A wonderful letter to the editor of the Toronto Star:

PM apologizes for 1914 ship tragedy, Aug. 6

As a Canadian whose ancestors go back to the foundation of the French colony, I am fed up with all these apologies. First to the Indians, then the Japanese, followed by the Chinese, now the gall of the Sikhs to decline the latest of these apologies. Nobody apologized to the Acadians for their deportation. Nor to the English emigrants for their treatment when they arrived in what is now Nova Scotia.

Our ancestors built this country amid controversy, mutual distrust and a few minor civil disorders, and created a nation of people who learned to live with each other. We probably bickered more than any other nation on Earth, but we have remained Canadians sharing grief and glory.

It is high time to tell the rest of the world that Canada is still one of the finest countries in the world to live in, but if you come here, you become a Canadian and you live by our laws and you put up with our customs.

Your customs belong in the country you left behind.
