In yet another stunning illustration of how dramatically the
Democratic Party has changed over the past few decades, President Obama
recently virtually apologized to Japan for the bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, while visiting the Hiroshima Memorial. (Oddly enough, Japanese Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe has no plans to visit Pearl Harbor).
Perhaps the president, ever the progressive,
was too busy partying, protesting and campus and community-organizing in his
young-adult years to take any history classes.
Had he done so, he would be aware that the Empire of Japan attacked the
United States- and without advance warning at that. He might also have been
aware that after this “unprovoked and dastardly” attack, Democratic president
Franklin Delano Roosevelt vowed that the nation he led would see the coming war
through to “absolute victory,” so that “this form of treachery shall never
again endanger us.” The jaunty, ever resolute president said: “We will gain the
inevitable triumph—so help us God.”
His
party now ‘boos’ the mention of God at its national conventions. (And is now so
‘sophisticated’ that it only believes in abortion, global warming,
political-correctness and punishing those who succeed).
John
Kennedy guided his country through the Cuban Missile Crisis. John Kerry thanked the Iranians for releasing our
sailors. Sick and pathetic.
And,
since we’re talking apologies here, let’s not forget to mention that Japan has never officially apologized for
attacking the United States.
Democratic
President Harry Truman made the agonizing- but courageous and correct- decision
to end World War II by dropping bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If he hadn’t,
an estimated 500,000 more American servicemen would have perished and one
million more Japanese, as well.
President
Obama should apologize… to Harry
Truman, his descendants and his legacy.
Or
perhaps he would have preferred to apologize to the families of the estimated
one-half million American servicemen
that would have perished if those nuclear weapons weren’t used. Or to the
families of the estimated one million Japanese that would have also been
killed.
The
devolution of a formerly worthy political party into entitled, infantilized,
Marxist scum has been breathtaking.
