The staggering arrogance of their conceited and pretentious calls for 'forgiveness'! These people actually feel as if they have the power to forgive atrocities that were committed against other people! Just like leftists to give someone the shirt off someone else's back.

And I like that high school student who (with more brains and heart than all those commies put together) said, "All these people, if they got what they wanted, this country would no longer be free and they wouldn't be able to stand over there and protest". She probably doesn't even realize how right she was; THAT IS THEIR INTENT!

Cordially,

Very well said. I think someone should give a list of names and addresses of the ultra-pacifists to criminals so the criminals can know and rob and mug only those willing to forgive and turn the other cheek. It's only fair because a criminal should know who will enjoy being a victim and won't demand any kind of retribution.

This is not a good time for our side to be talking about forgiving our enemies. Not because it isn't essential, but because no one can hear the message, and no one's heart is up to delivering that message.

But this is a perfect time for us to be thinking about forgiveness of our own offenses. Now that we know first hand just how hard it is to forgive a treacherous and malicious enemy, we're in a better position to discover a spirit of repentence and decent humility, and a true appreciation of the mercy of God who stands ready to forgive what we've done to Him. I suspect this is the only way we'll ever achieve the extraordinary grace we'll need to forgive what was done to us on September 11.
