A QUOTE

You have adults going, “I was offended! I was offended!” Well, so what? Be offended! Nothing happens! You’re an adult, grow up, deal with it. “But I was offended!” I don’t care! Nothing happens when you’re offended. It’s not like, “I went to a comedy show, and the comedian said something about the Lord, and I was offended, and when I woke up in the morning, I had leprosy!” Nothing happens. “I want to live in a democracy, but I never want to be offended again!” Well, you’re an idiot.

If that happens, not only.will the U.S. not control the region, but it will be thrown out.

vruz: there was a pivotal moment in Egypt (and arguably in history) when Obama had to choose whether to get serious and embrace the new, or stick with the old. he then failed to stand for big D democracy, and now a different game is on.

vruz: if mccain is doing something right, it means I must be wrong? whatever. I’m glad he’s posturing to force a principled outcome, regardless of his motives. it will be fun to see him clashing with the other half of republicans.
