Yesterday, Jayman wrote about a growing trend that is negatively affecting this great nation of ours…
Men crying in public.
And today?
I would like to pontificate on a trend that like public man-sobbing, is further leading to the utter wussification of our once great nation:
Demanding an apology.
Now, I’m not talking about people who are close…people who are friends and/or lovers demanding an apology from one and other. Noooooooo, not at all.
That type of apology is sometimes necessary, heartfelt, and oft times can avoid a sex embargo being placed on the committer of the alleged transgression by the one feeling erred upon.
No my friends, I am speaking about a person, groups of people, and organizations demanding apologies from people who say something that goes against their ideology, or cause, or campaign.
People and groups demanding apologies from another who didn’t even utter whatever the words were that sent the offended person or group into an apoplectic fit of feigned moral outrage.
It seems to happen with regularity these days. Hell, I can relate several recent examples from this past month.
Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who testified before a less-than-official Congressional Committee panel, bemoaned the fact that she can’t afford to purchase birth control pills, and that somehow or other they should be made available to her.
Rush Limbaugh jumped all over her like a talk show host revved up on Oxycontin and Viagra, by demanding video of her exploits using tax payer provided birth control and calling her a prostitute.
Cue the feigned moral outrage from women’s groups, the Democrat Party, and even President Obama who checked in with her. They all demanded an apology from El Rushbo, even though his words weren’t directed at them.
Nope…The same groups who truly loathe Limbaugh and would like to see his impotent, cartoonish ass dead, demanded an apology from a man whom they detest.
Oh limp dick Rush did apologize, but that was only so his advertisers would quit leaving him…it’s not like he meant it. So what did those groups get out of his apology?
Not a damn thing, other than the fact that the world now knows that those whiny apology seekers are a bunch of overly-sensitive busy-bodies with too much time on their hands.
Grow the fuck up.
On the other side, we have right-winger Sean Hannity demanding apologies from the Left. Oy Vay!!
That blowhard requests more apologies than any woman I know or have ever known. Sean not only requests apologies, she demands denouncements!!
Sean Hannity wants every bad word said about a Republican by anyone who at some point may have met President Obama, to be denounced by the President.
When is President Obama going to apologize for what Bill Maher said? When will the Commander-in-Chief denounce what Robert DeNiro said? When will Obama apologize and denounce what Rev. Wright has been preaching?
Sean, honey? Shut the fuck up.
I know it’s not much of a stretch, but Sean sweetie, you are becoming less manly than Greta Van Sustern and Ann Coulter by the second.
Seriously…People demanding apologies from people who've said something that wasn’t directed at them or demanding apologies from people who didn't even speak the “offensive” remark, need to shut the hell up.
It’s really childish…It’s embarrassing...and most importantly…
It diminishes the intent, the impact, and the healing power of an apology truly given from one’s heart.
Cheers!!
