![]() ![]() And that’s what the left is doing to America and to millions of Americans… That’s the secret to destroying a friendship or a marriage… No matter how sorry and contrite the offender is, you can destroy the relationship by constantly throwing whatever this person did in their face. You see, that’s the whole thing: If you don’t want a relationship to heal, you refuse to accept the apology and move on. By not accepting America’s countless apologies and countless attempts to atone, they keep us divided, at each other’s throats, angry, and unable to heal. It’s not enough that two Constitutional amendments were passed to end American discrimination or that a black president was elected and re-elected, or that no American living today has ever owned or been a slave.īecause with these race hustlers, fascists, and crybabies, it can never be enough. It’s not enough that after 5,000 generations where slavery was accepted as normal, it was Western Civilization that put an end to it. It’s not enough that hundreds of thousands of white Americans died to settle the matter of slavery. ![]() He writes,Īll of America’s manufactured racial problems come down to a group of leftists (of all colors) who refuse to forgive and move on when it comes to slavery and Jim Crow. Fonda was disingenuously used by Nolte to tee up a terrible analogy. But one of the greatest of all time?īut I digress. She was better than her brother and not as good as her father. Fonda has been a capable actress in a narrow range for a long time. Nolte also loses credibility with me when he gushes that Jane “is one of the greatest actresses who has ever lived.” He needs to apologize for that, and the apology needs to be addressed to Meryl Streep, Jessica Lange, Glenn Close, Vanessa Redgrave, Greer Garson, Maggie Smith, Viola Davis, Cicely Tyson, Ellen Burstyn, Geraldine Page, Nicole Kidman, Glenda Jackson, Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburn, Irene Dunne, Norma Shearer, Greer Garson, Ingrid Bergman, Judi Dench, Judith Anderson and Ann Bancroft, among others. I confess, I am pre-conditioned not to take anything published on Breitbart as persuasive it has been on the Ethics Alarms banned list for many years and will remains so. So what? If a 75-year-old Vietnam vet chooses not to forgive Jane Fonda for aiding and providing comfort to the enemy who was trying to kill him in the jungles of Vietnam, who is Nolte to say he has to? She’s also probably sorry that she did the Atlanta Braves “tomahawk chop” when she was Ted Turner’s trophy wife, too. It sure didn’t cost her any roles or party invites in Hollywood. ![]() What old lady doesn’t? I believe she’s sorry her anti-American rhetoric probably cost her some work-out video income. OK, the woman is nearly 90 and regrets some of her past decisions. “Move on” to what? Fonda hasn’t suffered any horrible fate because of her betrayal. ![]() Who is Nolte talking about? Most American under the age of 60 don’t know anything about Fonda’s war protest activities. “After 35 years of apologies, isn’t it time to forgive and move on? Should someone who has repeatedly apologized over four decades still be called on the carpet and asked to continue to explain herself?,” Nolte asks, referring to Fonda’s self-created infamy when she went to North Vietnam and praised Ho Chi Minh while condemning American GIs who were fighting and dying in combat with his army. He begins with Jane to set up an analogy that doesn’t even work. To begin with, the title is deliberately misleading: his real point has nothing to do with Jane Fonda. Maybe John Nolte of Breitbart had the best of intentions, but his essay “We Should Accept Jane Fonda’s Apology About Vietnam” is an ethics mess. ![]()
