I don’t care if it was Patrick Kennedy who said this about the bishops. His remarks might have been wrong but he is entitled to his opinion. I am really sick and tired of everyone demanding an apology for every silly remark made these days. We have become a nation of apologists and we are not the better for it.

An opinion is one thing; this was a lie. Lies require apologies.

Your post is wholly out of order and you should apologize for it.

Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) is an elected official, not a private citizen. As such his opinion reflects on the folks who elected him. He has the responsibility to get the facts of the matter correct.

Unfortunately, like many of our elected officials with disordered minds, Patrick probably cannot connect the dots, or conduct an intelligent conversation.

We can only hope that he repents and at least remains silent on matters beyond his capability to reason.
