If all countries went back through all their histories and attempted to correct wrongs inflicted by and on people who are long dead, things would be completely unworkable. You cannot apply contemporary standards to what happened, you can only understand historical context and use it to prevent future injustice. Perpetuating Victim Cults for political purposes only causes more injustice. Law is correctly applied in America on an individual basis, not according to the morality of a sociopathic collective.

I called Barak Hussein Obama my President (capital letters) for eight years because he was elected to the office. I respected the office and the will of the American people, not him. If the socialists can't do the same, then they fall on the wrong side of history...Geo

Geo, I'm not sure what your "respect for the office" means. Were those who insulted Obama on this forum on the wrong side of history? Was the birther Trump himself?
My references to Trump as a vulgar sexual predator, in his own words broadcast to the world, do not reflect on the office, the flag or the people of America. He is what he is.
Are you referring to President more in an honorific sense? Canadians just removed a prime minister who was called all sorts of things without being disrespectful to their parliamentary institutions.
Justin currently is being called Sunny Boy, cynically and sympathetically, because that's what he is. Governance, we'll wait and see, as will the United States of America.

Want to reconsider last sentence, Ken? Law may be applied on an individual basis but usually applied to all: the draft, segregation, social benefits etc reflecting a country's collective values, ethics, morality.

Nope. I think you know what I mean when I use the term "Collectivism". Unconstitutional, Sociopathic, Statist, Religious, Collectivism. The antithesis to individual freedom and equality, the protection of which is the basis of American Exceptionalism.

It feels so good to see Clintons "pack their luggage". President Trump has potential to be great president. I look forward to the future with great expectations.

I wonder what the reflection of your values, ethics, and morality is going to look like when you all have to start paying your fair share for the defense of those values. Canada can start by putting up 10 billion to the UN to fund its global warming research.
