I am proud to be an American but I am sad
for my country.
Yesterday, on the anniversary of 9/11,
radical Muslim terrorists stormed and defaced the US Embassy in Egypt. They burned and shredded our flag, erected a
Muslim flag, and wrote all kinds of allah propaganda all over the compound.
The current administration's response? An apology.
A goddamned apology to the Muslims who attacked the embassy and to those
who killed Americans and others in terrorist attacks on 9/11/01.
Here is the apology, in case you missed
it: The U.S. Embassy said that it "condemns the continuing efforts by
misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims -- as we
condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions."
So our government is saying since we are Americans, believe
in all religious freedom, and fly our flag in our own embassy, that we are
therefore mistreating Muslims? That we
are hurting their feelings? That we
should let them attack us because we have somehow offended them for our
living? That they should take our tax
money then try to kill us (yet again)?
Generally speaking, I try to have a tolerant nature. I really and truly do, at least when
presenting myself in public. I think we
all are obligated to tolerate each other as best we can when in a public arena,
say, oh, I don't know, like maybe … a country's EMBASSY.
I'm sorry, and I hate to be so blunt, but truly … What the fuck. What the holy fuck.
