Nobles and knaves
Washington Times ^ | 11/27/04

Nobles: Lance Cpl. Dimitrios Gavriel, for a sacrifice of a lifetime in defense of his country.


    In America's all-volunteer military, it is sometimes assumed that only men and women without much of a future decide to enlist. The arrogance of such an assumption might be tolerable if it weren't so blatantly wrong. A case in point is Lance Cpl. Dimitrios Gavriel, age 29, who enlisted in the Marines in October 2003, leaving behind a promising career on Wall Street as a financial analyst.

On Nov. 18, Lance Cpl. Gavriel was killed in Fallujah. He was posthumously awarded two Purple Hearts on Tuesday.
    For epitomizing the greatness of America, Lance Cpl. Gavriel is the Noble of the week.

Knaves: The self-pitying Kerry voters and those who coddle them, for a childish exchange of offers and acceptances of forgiveness.


    Shortly after John Kerry lost the presidential election to President Bush, the American left lost something more: Any semblance of self-respect. A Web site quickly popped up called SorryEverybody.com that allows those with nothing better to do with their lives to leave pictures of themselves asking forgiveness from the world for the re-election of Mr. Bush. Some 6,000 pictures later and now there's a Web site called ApologiesAccepted.com that features citizens of the world doing what its namesake suggests.

[snip]

For being ridiculous, the minds behind SorryEverybody.com and ApologiesAccepted.com are the Knaves of the week.

Not as sorry as you are going to be when you stand face to face with that God you curse.

An SNL parody of the left could not be more amusing.

sorryeverybody.com

Do NOT go to this website! I have clicked through more than
100 pages of these pathetic loosers and each page is funnier
than the last.
I never knew gloating could be so much FUN!

Carin O'Cuin, you should tell yourself you are sorry, for what you have done to yourself.

What's great about these knaves is that I am completely unapoligetic for saving the world by re-electing George W Bush.

It's the Islamo-fascists who will beg forgiveness, not Americans.
