The effrontery of such moral midgets attempting to apologize for the likes of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson is obscene. The American public should consign the proposed apology for slavery to the oblivion it deserves, and demand a government that has more regard for the rights of the living than for the dead.
The way Ralston spews out this vitriol... just read what he says. In effect he is saying an apology would inflict "Massive Destruction". Hello? Do we live on the same planet?

People like him infuriate me. On one hand, when terrorists are firing rockets randomely into cities, its not an outrage; thats ok. Lets all talk about the 'palestinian people' and how sad the family of the suicide bomber is. On the other hand, if you mention an apology, oh no! Massive destruction! Its an outrage! This cant happen! We need to apologize for even suggesting that we apologize! And he talks as if he has a moral highground. Ugh.
