Rush discussed a study this past week that stated apologizing is bad and makes people feel bad. Apparently NOT apologizing is empowering. Perhaps some Republicans need to try this strategy.

Can anyone tell me a time when Patton, MacArthur or Eisenhower or even Truman, after dropping the bombs on Japan, ever apologized? Patton, MacArthur and Eisenhower probably should’ve apologized for the 1932 Bonus Army deaths under their leadership, but I bet none of them went to their graves regretting anything they did.

Eisenhowers' comments on MacArthur leading the operation

"I told that dumb son-of-a-bitch not to go down there," he said later. "I told him it was no place for the Chief of Staff."

Lol, anyway no one died that day, except Hoovers chances at reelection.

Also in Rush's discussion late in the week, he mentioned that sometimes the "authority" figures at a school can even force an apology from the wrong side in a dispute. He was talking with a caller and said in essence that she was assuming that there is an objective truth at hand. I get from the gist of it that he was alluding to the lavender mafia forcing an apology from Mr. Carson who'd said nothing wrong (only stated an inconvenient truth). The Sex Positive Agenda seeks NO moral judgments over sexual pairings of any kind (regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner). It isn't about genetics. It is about being of free will to do ANYTHING that gets your rocks off. That is the agenda at stake. Planned Parenthood doesn't oppose abstinence because "it doesn't work" (no matter what they publicly say); they oppose it because it is unfathomable in their philosophy to NOT act on sexual impulses.
