Let's have a half-round of applause for the brave souls in the Tennessee House of Representatives, who boldly voted Wednesday to express "profound regret" for both slavery and for segregation, although the chamber couldn't quite bring itself to actually apologize for either.
If the Legislature apologized, some of their crazier constituents might get the idea that they&#039;d done something <i>wrong</i>, and the tidal wave of butthurt would drown the state.
Did they apologize to those poor <strike>slaveholders</strike> capitalists who suffered massive property loss from the Emancipation Proclamation?
<i>The original draft&rsquo;s language offering &ldquo;profound apologies&rdquo; for slavery was removed by Republicans;</i>
You mean &quot;the party of Lincoln&quot;, the party that &#039;freed the slaves&#039;, the &#039;totally not-racist&#039; party did that?
They exist on so much irony that they think it&#039;s a flavor.
Not buying it until apology expert Ben Carson, MD (WTF!) weighs in on The POTUS Bamz clear involvement behind this demand for the good (totally non-racist) folks of TN to apologize for slavery.
Hey, they were JOB-CREATORS! Horrible, brutal, unpaid jobs!

Sail Away...

Given the perfidy that the Tennessee Legislature is usually up to, this really is a net plus.
This should really win over the Germans who want to building a shiny new automobile plant in Knoxville.
Same... corporations are indentured servants to big gumbmint forcing them to give all their munez to the folks who make them rich.
Makers got the shaft from soshulist class-warfare elites...
&ldquo;profound apologies&rdquo; is not much different than &quot;whoopsie&quot;.

And I would like to apologize to the monkeys for any Tennessean ever having claimed kinship to them.
No RINO walks alone. You gotta look for the invisible hand stuck up the puppet&#039;s backside...
(being this far into the looking-glass is tiring.)
