Million.
People.
Died.
Because our Federal employees didn't liberate a Stalinist slave pen.
It wasn't due to lack of ability. It was due to lack of morality.
Jimmy Carter and the Democrat party were complicit in the deaths of 3 million North Korean slaves, because they didn't subscribe to the American moral imperative of freeing slaves. Thank God George Bush revived the imperative for Iraq. It may have morphed into something stupid, but the original mandate to free slaves, by force if necessary, was the peak of American moral superiority. "With no consideration of the cost or benefit to ourselves, we will liberate you" is a pretty damned powerful mission statement.
Die, Jimmy Carter. Die alone, and afraid.
In the rain. Beneath a black sky, with the words of the holy martyrs ringing in his ears, to rebuke his pride: "Usquequo, Domine?"
