PAYING TRIBUTE:

That is what we’re being asked to do, in the old-fashioned meaning of the phrase. One can also call this ‘reparations.’ Reparations are what a defeated enemy pays to the victors. Frankly, I don’t remember us being defeated of late, do you? This is utter insanity, a world where a pompous fool is give a Nobel Peace Prize for accomplishing nothing, and where we surrender when we haven’t lost.

We as a nation are to be punished for our success, and for what we thought was our triumph over the belief system that is now re-emerging.
