“It’s a great honor, Mr President.”
“Well, you gave so much to this country, losin’ a leg in Nam and what not.”
“Uh, I didn’t fight in Vietnam, sir.”
“Oh stop – I saw it on the teevee lootenant Dan. Say, why’s everyone callin’ you Gary?”
“Gary’s my name.”
“Ya know, when I got to the White House, I musta had me about 20 Dr Peppers too. That made me laugh! Hehehehe”
“That was a funny scene…”
“Say – do you still own that fruit company?”
“I never actually owned Apple.”
“Hehehehehe. I gotta pee. Hehehehe.”
“It’s a great honor sir. Thank you.”

Funny, you didn’t seem to think this 7 years ago. So what happened? Oh, that’s right, you got people killed for no good reason.

Absolutely. Colson is an appeaser…but he’s a CONSERVATIVE appeaser, so that’s okay with Jay Tea.

…written by someone who is clearly beyond embarrassment.

But Ayers specifically didn’t. You’re “Nobody died at Watergate” line was designed to show the difference between Colson and Ayers, not Colson and the Weather Undergound in general.

“their own members when a nail bomb…”

These scumbags were not acting at the direction of Ayers.

“Also, in 1981, members of the WU were involved in the Brinks armored car robbery…”

Wrong. They were FORMER members of the WU at the time of this incident.

“They also tried to blow up the home of New York State Supreme Cout Justice Murtaugh…”

Never proven that the WU was responsible for this, and even if they were, no one was killed (again negating, but in a different way this time, the “Nobody died at Watergate” line).

They also tried to blow up the home of New York State Supreme Court Justice Murtaugh with three gasoline firebombs, while Murtaugh, his wife, and their children slept.

Duros, we know that Colson is repentant because he says so, and he has lived his life to show that. Could you cite examples of Kennedy and Byrd showing actual, sincere, deep remorse (and not mere “regret”) and taking actions to attempt to redeem their actions? Hell, Byrd still tosses around the “n-word” on occasion.

I don’t worry about Ayers getting any kind of award from Obama, though. If there’s one thing Obama has shown, it is that he has no problems tossing former associates aside when they prove embarrassing.

Which means there’s still hope for your dumb, wrong ass, Jay Tea.

I’ll bet even George McGovern feels remorse.

I cn haz redemption naow? kthxbye.

J.

Then tell me why Carlson hates America.

Yeah, there’s always that.

Somehow this guy is a terror who should be shunned among polite society, much less be recognized by the President. But when it’s George McGovern, Jesse “Hymie-town” Jackson, or William Fullbright receiving the same award, there’s narry a lick of outrage from the left.

Typical.

There’s a case to make there, I guess. The President represents all Americans, and to award somebody that makes fairly loathsome comments about vast sectors of Americans perhaps ought not be receiving an award from the representative of all the people. I don’t necessarily agree with that, but I can see the point.

Shining like a diamond in the slop, however, is a precious post about Chuck Colson, whom she piously declares deserves credit for what he’s done since being released from prison for Watergate crimes.

In his Christianity Today columns, for example, Colson has opposed same-sex marriage,[24] argued that Darwinism is used to attack Christianity,[25] and
claimed that the Enron accounting scandals were a consequence of secularism.[citation needed] He has also argued against Darwinism and in favor of intelligent design,[26] saying Darwinism helped cause forced sterilizations by eugenicists.[27]
Colson has been an outspoken critic of postmodernism, believing that, as a cultural worldview, it is incompatible with the Christian tradition. He has debated prominent Post-evangelicals, such as Brian McLaren, on the best response for the Evangelical church in dealing with the postmodern cultural shift.

In the early 1980s, Colson was invited to New York by David Frost’s
variety program on NBC for an open debate with Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the famous atheist who, in 1963, brought the court case (Murray v. Curlett) that eliminated official public school prayers.[28] More recently, Colson has been a strong proponent of the Bible Literacy Project’s curriculum The Bible and Its Influence for public high school literature courses.

This makes reversing U.S. decadence an urgent priority, not just for Christians, but for all Americans. If our cultural rot continues unabated, a Talibanized West may no longer be a joke, but grim reality.

What Colson is essentially saying here is that if all Americans don’t start doing what Christians like him are calling for, then the Islamists will win because its our decadence that fuels their hatred. He is, in short, asking us to do what the terrorists want.
