What gets me about SorryEverybody is that as with everything these people want to apologize for, it’s not something they did. How many of these folks would like to apologize for stealing the USA from the Indians, or for slavery or for Jim Crow, but ask them to apologize for something they did individually (e.g., Billy Bob’s little adventures with the intern), and suddenly they want to know why we’re so judgmental.

Dear Roger,

As always, you’re beautiful. But please: Don’t use words like “your Danish girlfriend” lumped among that gang of crooks. I’m a Dane and a big fan of yours. Achievements of our country in the war on terror: All combat aircraft in the Royal Danish Air Force have served on rotations in the skies over Afghanistan, killing thousands of bad guys. All active personnel in the Danish special forces have seen action either in Tora Bora or Iraq, most of them in both. We have a biggish chunk of our army in Iraq and our parliament only yesterday decided to extend our commitment – with a whopping majority. Our special forces may not be big but they’re recognised by people in the know as good. Want to be a US navy SEAL? Fine, part of your education will be with our “wet” special forces unit.

Just because you’ve met Danish liberals in the past, don’t think we’re all like that – basically it’s just the same as the hideous racial stereotyping of Condi Rice.

So get back to what’s important – keeping up the pressure on the enemy!

Dan

Sorry? I don’t view them as apologies. These are hopeless losers simply describing themselves as sorry people. They are a sorry lot which has nothing to do with the outcome of the election.

It may be time to survey the UN building for demolition. A far better use for that parcel of land could be found. Perhaps a landfill?

As long as Libs have Halliburton as their icon for corruption, there will be no need to acknowledge the mess at the UN.

Becky:

There are lots of uncloseted conservatives in academia. Economics departments are notoriously unliberal. I would bet that science and engineering departments are filled with red staters. Russian/Slavic Departments were also once bastions of the right but I don’t know what has happened to them since the USSR closed up shop.
