Very interesting. Some things never change.
The left seems to gravitate to such martyrs yet they reject a martyr who laid a foundation of Western civilization.
We don't come to the aid of third world victims of a tidal wave because we are rich and they are poor, we come to their aid because it is the right thing to do for another human being.
We don't do it out of some feeling of "good karma", that other nations will come to our aid when our rivers flood or hurricanes hit. They don't.
