Bernie Nutbag Sanders says WE present day Americans need to apologize for slavery!

[IlarMeilyr]

Bernie is, of course, a known quantity. He is a shit head socialist idiot.

Sanders I Don t Think As President But As A Nation We Have Got To Apologize For Slavery Video RealClearPolitics

Since I personally had nothing to do with it (not having been even close to having my grandparents born at the time and all) I think I will just simply reject the imbecile invitation of the vapid socialist twerp U.S. Senator and darling of the liberal/progressive/far left wing Democrat Parody. Bernie is a joke. He is not really worth a damn thing in our lives.

But I wonder. How many of the USMB left wingers/progressives/liberals feel the need to apologize for something that they clearly had nothing to do with and could have had nothing to do with??

What we need to apologize for is producing Bernie, among others.

If an apology will help matters then I am all for it. It takes a real man to admit that wrong was done to others.

And yes, you are right that neither you nor your ancestors were involved.

But you cannot deny that wrong was done and if the healing process will be aided by a little humility then where is the harm?

How would you personally be harmed by apologizing for the harm that slavery has caused?

I know that I won't be so I am more than prepared to walk down this path and see if it can help We the People form a more perfect union in the future. As an American I have a duty to do exactly that and I believe in doing my duty.

Somewhere in (pick a far flung place on Earth), say, the Mongolian desert, a man got jealous of another man's possessions, and so, in a fit of jealousy, the former punched the latter in the face with a closed fist. It caused a bloody nose.

This was a wrong.

Derideo_Te apologizes.

Sure, he wasn't there or anything and contributed to that wrong in no conceivable way whatsoever, but still, a wrong was done. So Derideo_Te apologizes for it.

That makes perfectly good sense.

Nowhere on Earth. Ever.

Why should I accept responsibility for something neither I nor any ancestor of mine had anything to do with?

Irrelevant.

Knock yourself out.

"Nutbag Idiot fuckbrain joke". Because nothing says "sensible rational and levelheaded" like voting for the same oligarchal Demoplican-Republicrat Party.... over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and expecting different results.

My the fountain of lucid thought spews most copiously today.

 

[Auld Phart]

I can see why Bernie would want to apologize.

He was there when it was going on.

I wasn't.

However, my great-great grandfather was, and he and his 3 brothers all fought to end slavery.

I owe them no apology.

^ ploddo thinks he sees an "oligarchy" of Republicans and Democrats.

To whatever limited extent he has a point, his "solution" is to support an abject imbecile like Bernie fuckbrain Sanders, instead?

AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM means never having to say you're sorry.

Neither harm nor good would result from a formal apology for the sins of the past. But if that gesture, as Derideo_Te said helps healing and brings us closer to the ideals set forth in our founding documents, let the apologies begin.

What happened in Mongolia is none of my business.

What happened here in America is part of how I came to be where I am today. Same applies to those whose ancestors were brought here under duress and the situation that they find themselves in today.

These are not difficult concepts.

We the People have a duty to our fellow citizens. As an American I will do my duty when my country needs it to be done. I have sworn an oath to do so. I keep my word.

Thanks -- I edited the post to include fuckbrain. Which probably simply means "male" but in effect makes the point even stronger.



And yes, to the extent I can exercise my franchise against the bidness-as-usual, one-party-playing-the-role-of-two, I'll do so. As I did voting for, say, Jon Huntsman.

Voting for something different for the sole reason that it is different is unwise.

Certainly "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" would not be an improvement over "Your love of liberty - your respect for the laws - your habits of industry - and your practice of the moral and religious obligations, are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness."

I wasn't there when you were repeatedly bounced on your head by the outraged doctors at your birth.

Exactly why they confused you with an under-inflated basketball we may never know.

But the pounding clearly did you no good.

Since I wasn't there, the entirely empty gesture of "apologizing" for what happened to you would be less than worthless. So, I not only owe you no apology, you deserve no apology from me and you have my permission to feel all aggrieved by the fact that you will not be getting one.

You're welcome.

Ilar, you apologize, because I won't.

Not that anything you say ever makes sense, and that last post is certainly included in that observation, but be advised that NO "point" you have ever made or attempted to make is strong. Or meritorious.

 

[IlarMeilyr]

Ilar, you apologize, because I won't.

I am sorry you are so worthless, but as you probably cannot grasp, that "apology" is simply an example of me taking advantage of an ambiguity as to the meaning of "sorry."

So you're a champion of the Same Old Thing. Yeah, we get that.

Ilar is drinking early for some reason.

He is making less sense than ususal, which means he is incoherent.
