True. It's not like Clinton or Reno or Weiner, who actually did something wrong and weaseled their non-apologies. What do you do if you say something true and necessary, and folks pretend to be offended? "Pretend" to apologize, I guess. In the cases of the Pope and Cain, I think that was the appropriate response. In charity, you don't will that anyone be upset, but that may be the effect. You're obligated to stand by the comment. The Pope told the truth about Islam at Regensburg. Cain was telling the truth about what's needed at the border. Those who want to destroy the West, and those who are timorous and influenced by them, can't take it. But that's their problem. For many, your clarity will help them figure out that you're telling the simple and necessary truth.
Cain is sharp. :)
