'"Similar" does not mean "equal".' LOL. And "equate" doesn't mean "equal" either. To be precise, "similar" means: "Related in appearance or nature; alike though not identical." And "equate", which is the term I used, means: "To consider, treat, or depict as equal or equivalent: equates inexperience with youth." As you can plainly see, when you declare our "atrocities", which you still refuse to specify, "similar" to those of European nations over the centuries, you are, in fact, equating the two. So I ask again, exactly what atrocities are you alleging that you feel are similar to the historical atrocities of European nations against each other, against their own, and against their colonial subjects?

déjà vu all over again...... And I'll tell you once again; you, like many libs, love to highlight the occasional regrettable remark, the occasional mistaken utterance, etc. Then you latch on to it like a rabid Chihuahua & never let it go. And you all yap & yap & yap about it until the next worthwhile remark (whether real or imagined) comes along. It matters not one wit whether that one comment is out of context or if their real & well documented position is completely the opposite of that one comment. It doesn't matter if this is but one small misstep in an overall record of consistent good work. Nope! You have your rabid Chihuahua Talking Point du jour. Every single fact contrary to the rabid Chihuahua Talking Point du jour is simply ignored..... Message 21393426
