Many historians call the Armenian Holocaust the first holocaust of the 20th Century, a dress rehearsal for the Nazi nightmare that followed. This April 24 marks the 100th anniversary of the death of roughly 1.5 million Armenian Christians at the hands of Turkish Muslims. That mass slaughter has gone virtually unreported by the broadcast networks.
It was a genocide so awful that candidate Barack Obama promised in 2008 he would acknowledge it as such. As president, I will recognize the Armenian genocide, he vowed. Obama has violated that promise every year since.
This will be the seventh anniversary that Obama breaks that promise to be honest about what one U.S. ambassador once called a campaign of race extermination. Yet ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows have mentioned that failed promise only once during the Obama presidency. That occurred on April 12, 2015. Even that took the combined efforts of Pope Francis, third-generation Armenian-American celebrity Kim Kardashian and her husband, singer Kanye West all bringing attention to the genocide.
The horrid anniversary is especially profound this year as the world watches once more as Muslim extremists butcher Christians across the Mideast.

In a way, I just realized [again] how many people I've had the displeasure of knowing who do exactly that, lie on purpose. It's a perverted way they get their jollies.
"Yes, I'll do that. Yeah, I'll do it." Then they don't, and the act of denial gives them their little thrill. It's OK [so to speak] coming from a drunk or a similar peon, but when it comes to figures of authority, can't we as a people do better? We should not have to put up with this behavior in our leaders, etc. Just venting...
Ah, but his response to calls to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide is, help Erdogan dedicate a mega-mosque in Maryland.
To think about what has been unleashed since he took office and allowed the mooslimb ‘hood to run amok brings me to tears.
Maybe I missed that, but is Erdogan coming personally to Maryland to dedicate a mega-mosque?
He is, see some of the keywords to find the topic.
The 0val office is possessed by evil IMHO..
