If I were a mod here liars would be banned. UnAmerican? ![]() ![]() Donald Trump's Foreign Workers: American Workers Aren't Good ... This is from the CONSERVATIVE National Review. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/431933/donald-trump-foreign-workers-american-workers-arent-good-enough The news that Donald Trump turned down 94 percent of American job applicants to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., in favor of foreign workers brought in under the H-2B visa program should come as a surprise to absolutely no one. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/431933/donald-trump-foreign-workers-american-workers-arent-good-enough And you have the temerity to lie like that about the president. Typical lies from a typical Trump supporter. |

It's good to keep up relations, Japan is our ally now and although he shouldn't apologize he should still keep up a friendly demeanor with them. |

What is it with many conservatives and their fixation on never apologizing? |

Not apologizing is much better than an insincere apology. |

There appears to be this unspoken assumption on the part of some conservatives that an apology, sincere or not, is an admission of weakness and is something the President of the United States should not do, under any circumstances. I find the whole thing rather macho absurd. An apology can be admission of having made a mistake or the expression of regret that a particular course of action caused significant harm to another. Even if the course of action was justified and correct, apologizing for the misery it caused is not a sign of weakness, but rather of moral strength. Only the weak never apologize, because they know they're not strong enough to display vulnerability. |

I don't believe it as weakness but I also don't think he needs to apologize for this nor does he for that matter. Why does that bother you? As for an insincere apology, I hate lying. Edited by Freaks, May 30 2016, 12:43 AM.

The nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were brutal acts of war. Acts of war that specifically targeted the civilian population of Japan. Were they justified? Did they save American lives? Both questions are highly debatable and the answer is, we'll never ever be absolutely certain that it ended the war even one day sooner or saved one American life. Do we need to apologize for it? Not as far as I'm concerned. While brutal acts of war the intention behind these acts was to win the war against a stubborn, battle hardened, and committed opponent, not just to brutalize the civilian population. There are other things we've done as a nation that I believe are far more deserving of an apology. But would it kill us as a nation if we were to apologize for it? Would it harm us at all? I think the answer to those questions is clearly "no". What drives me up the wall is this damn insistence on the part of other conservatives, not you in particular, that the U.S. should never, ever apologize for anything, no matter how reprehensible, and if a President SHOULD apologize for something, that makes him a weak and craven coward. No it doesn't. When someone sincerely apologizes, that doesn't show cowardliness or weakness, that shows that you're mature enough and secure enough to know that acknowledging your mistakes, or the mistakes of your nation, is just what an adult does when the situation calls for it. |

Harry Truman and the democratic cabal running DC at the time are guilty of a despicable war crime. |

This wasn't the only war crime to come out of the New Deal. There is the disgrace of Dresden as well. |

If Charles Lindbergh had been elected in 1940 instead of the third term tyrant Roosevelt, there would have been no war. |

Hiroshima was essential for our accurate assessment of the effectiveness of our new weapon....Nagasaki was confirmation....Why do modern progressives hate technological development ???....The only Americans who opposed the use of the A-bomb at the time were communists or Quakers..............

Lindbergh's pro-view on Nazism is well known, I'm relatively certain it's not likely no war with Germany would have been fought, we would have been a Nazi Protectorate. |

At least you admit that Bush and FDF were liars. They both allowed national tragedies to occur to drag this nation into pointless wars. |
