Huckster:
In his speech, Huckabee said the United States has a self-
important image on the world stage. “Our prestige in the world has been marred, not because we are a superpower, but by the manner in which we handle our power. (Anything) we can do to encourage our neighbors, rather than simply showing our muscle, is an important part of rebuilding America’s prestige.” Council on Foreign Relations speech - Sept 28. 2007
Hunter:
“I would say this to every other nation in the world:
when you were sick, the Americans brought medicine. When you
were hungry, the Americans brought food. When you had
earthquakes and tsunamis and floods, the Americans came. And
when when you were insecure and you were attacked,
the Americans left the safety of their own homes and came
to defend you. I will never apologize for the United States
of America”. - Iowa Straw Poll, August 2007
What Duncan said.
“Our prestige in the world has been marred, not because we are a superpower, but by the manner in which we handle our power. (Anything) we can do to encourage our neighbors, rather than simply showing our muscle, is an important part of rebuilding America’s prestige.” Council on Foreign Relations speech - Mike Huckabeee Sept 28. 2007
But, but, but....dot, dot, dot his website says he is a strong supporter of the US Military and the WOT.
I have a feeling that Hunter might disagree with this commissions opinions.
I agree, sorta.
When America does things that are wrong, as we have in the past and will in the future, we should apologize and try to make restitution.
What he is talking about here, however, I think, is that many furriners and anti-American Americans think we should apologize for being America, as if our net record is one of evil.
I disagree with that notion completely.
