China’s president Hu Jintao visited the United States this week. Consider that 1.3 billion people – 20% of the world’s population – live in China. It is quickly emerging as our most important trading partner. So, perhaps Rush Limbaugh could refrain from mocking Hu’s accent on national radio.
Tea Partiers titled their legislation the “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.” Really? Our legislators need to be this snarky when voting on life-changing legislation?
Doing the “full retard,” Mr. Stiller?
Does everything from politics to ‘comedy’ movies have to be so hateful? Is there no longer room in our national discourse for just a smidgeon of goodwill, even courtesy?
