It would be a really stupid position for a politician to take... so we'll have to wait and see. Some comments at the LATimes are already establishing a disgusting pattern for the potential objections:
"Don't appologize for me. I have no inherited collective guilt on this one. I wasn't alive then and ever were I it wasn't me but the Democratic politicians in Washington who did this. If the Democrats feel collective inherited guilt then Hillary and Nancy and Obama can apologize for themselves. Leave the rest of us out of it.
vancouverbobIs this a continuation of the Obama Appology World Tour where he apologizes to the world for America. Maybe we should give $1M to each Guatamalan or allow them to be instant US Citizens. OK. Apology made, likely not accepted without cash, but end of story. I think Hillary should aplogize to the US people for her idiot husband.

BTW, there was some rather doomer-ish economics news today. Especially about employment.
If this continues I fear that politics will become even more the playground of the outrageous. Attempts to cut budgets will not go down well.
Yet locally this past week the shopping center has been overflowing with automobiles. I don't know what people are doing - spending lots of money or just bargain hunting.

Buchanan posted a (normal for him) racist-baiting essay on Monday.
What is even more ugly are the comments that his readers post, both on his own blog and also the nominally "Christian" Townhall.
No one here will be particularly surprised by the comments, but I can't help but wonder how readers of, say, Townhall can not see the ugly comments for exactly what they are.
This is an example of what we find at Buchanan's site:
Khawja
October 5th, 2010 at 6:55 PM
GOP or Democrats – no matter whether the majority of White folks or Christians support – are controlled by the Asiatic minority of Jews, or great majority of Zionist Christians – are mostly loyal to a foreign country, Israel. Therefore, the winner is always the Israel lobby groups.The only way the Americans would get their country back – is to ban all pro-Israel lobby groups and let Americans vote for the law-makers who have American interest first.
Here is small window to see who and how the Americans are controlled by foreign agents. [...]
Now let's go over to Townhall readers' comments on the essay:
Herman Wrote: Oct 05, 2010 3:39 PM
This country is going to be a multi-cultural nightmare in the next few decades.Where will white people be able to move? Europe, Australia, Canada etc? They are having the same problems we are.
Even if the ever shrinking white population on this earth finds a safe place to live non-whites will quickly follow.

I used to say:In the future,when the last freedom loving americans are fleeing the ethnic barbarian hordes.At the Canadan border will they let us bring our constitution and founding documents in,OR will they make us burn them before we enter. There is no 2nd. amendment in Canada.
10 years ago i don't remember seeing any mexicans around here,now their everywhere.Gangs walking our streets at night ,wal-mart filled with anchor-babies,and here's the kicker,a trailer park built on the ship yard property for housing illegals .
My brother in-law, 27 years building houses , cannot find work.Our nephew ,10 years building houses cannot find work. The houses being built here are all being built by mexicans.Payed cash.
