Canada Apologizes for Attempting to Assimilate Indians

In a speech shameful enough to be hyped by AP as "historic," allegedly conservative Canadian PM Stephen Harper all but crawled on his knees as he cringingly apologized to Indians for Canada's attempts to assimilate them into modern civilization.

Like other kids, Indian children have been forced to go to school. Once this was called opportunity. Now it is a crime against multiculturalism. Much better if they were left to shiver in teepees — or to drink themselves to death in taxpayer-financed trailer parks.

Bleated Harper:

The government of Canada now recognizes that it was wrong to forcibly remove children from their homes and we apologize. We now recognize that it was wrong to separate children from rich and vibrant cultures and traditions, and that it created a void in many lives and communities and we apologize.

Australian PM Kevin Rudd — who at least has the excuse of being a liberal — made a similar apology for attempts to draw Aborigines out of the Stone Age and into Australian culture. But not even Crudd is offering financial compensation to those oppressed by assimilation, like Canada is doing.

Imagine if the West had always been dominated by sniveling moonbats, too ashamed of their own culture to want to see it prevail. Canada and Australia would still be populated by savages running around barefoot, bashing each other's heads in with rocks.

Talk is cheap, but for once I think an apology to native tribes is justified here. We're not talking here about apologizing for winning the Indian Wars, but for forcible seizure of kids from their families to goto to distant state-sponsored "boarding schools" where all too often the kids were mistreated and sexually abused by their "teachers". Even skipping over that last part, there was no good justification for treating the schooling of Indians different from every other community. And if the government had been seizing YOUR school-age kids to send them to out-of-state/province institutions, you might be a bit peeved yourself.

Next these empty apologies by liberals are going to happen in this nation. I see no problems with the apologies as long as they don't say this apology is on behalf of all Americans. Because most of our ancestors were not a part of their ancestor's liberal (for the times) cause of forced assimilation of Native Americans.

None of my ancestors were even in the USA when this happened.

I personally owe $0 to repay slave trade MoonBattery taxes or apologies to the previous people who were, wrongfully, taken advantage of.

My ancestors were taken advantage of. Send your liberal guilt money to me.

I note one of the Village People is in the audience.

YMCA! YMCA-a-a!

Yes - it WAS wrong to jerk kids out of their homes away from their families. But if the PM wasn't involved, and if the current Canadians weren't involved - then the "apology" is more empty than a liberal's head.

I'm sorry Al Copone killed people. STFW? Who cares what I'm sorry about.

And while I'm on a roll...

If we all apoligize for breathing and farting, do we all earn "valuable" Algorian Carbon Credits?

GOD liberals are such morons it makes me "sorry" they're part of the human race.

Or are they?

OT -

Shout out to Jimbo.

Hey, if you are on island, and go to the Punch Bowl on the 14th, pass on a prayer and thanks for me, in your thoughts.

We are laying in LARGE at Golden Gate National Cemetery (and no, I aint no 'HOG' member.....)

Any MoonBat Trolls can find the Golden Gate National Cemetery just 10 miles south of San Franfreakshow. You are welcome to come up and say hi to me and the brothers. We'd be glad to discuss the finer points of being a patriot. And if you be an Obama supporter, you are welcome also. No flag lapel pin required. Gee and heck, come on out and express your right to burn the flag for us to see. I double dog dare ya!

Semper Fi.

yeah who should apologize for genocide? European "christians" come and take land, rape the women, and kill the people, and then tell them they must "assimiliate" into so called "modern civilization". We did them a favor and they want an apology?

the nerve of some people.

"Imagine if the West had always been dominated by sniveling moonbats, too ashamed of their own culture to want to see it prevail."

and that really is the crux of what is all about for you: one culture "prevailing" over the others through the use of force. And you call the left fascists? Isn't this EXACTLY what the nazis believed? Isn't this exactly the type of fascistic rhetoric Hitler used to rally his christian citizens against "inferior" cultures of "primitives"?

Hmmm, I am pursuing the adoption of a Native American kid currently living in a horrible foster home. But maybe I should leave him in foster care because being raised with my white Christian right-wing values might annihilate his culture.

/sarc

I wonder when the left will get around to apologizing for the 50,000,000 children butchered since Roe-v-Wade, or the hundreds of millions butchered in the name of communism (which was, and is, their cultural ideal). For that matter, the hippie-leftists ought to apologize to African-Americans for the way their social policies devastated and destroyed the African-American family. And while they're at it, they could apologize to the millions of children their socialist public education bureaucracy has failed.

And that's just for starters.

The pattern of the Christian West has been to replace savagery with civilization (even if the means to that end have been at times cruel and brutal.) The pattern of the humanist left is just the opposite, wherever they go, civilization retreats and barbarism expands.

One last thing, the pro-abortion left justifies killing babies by saying that the unborn "Aren't really people."

Which is exactly how (Democrat) Andrew Jackson felt about the Injuns.

"Hmmm, I am pursuing the adoption of a Native American kid"

Poor kid. from one bad situation to another.

"The pattern of the Christian West has been to replace savagery with civilization (even if the means to that end have been at times cruel and brutal.) "

So...i love the Chirstian pattern. We are killing you for your own good so that you will be civilized! I hate to tell you , moron, cruelty and brutality are NOT civilized. Man, are you thick.

By your logic we are saving them from cruel and brutal savagery by being cruel and brutal....

And no, V the Koward, a fetus is NOT a baby, and is NOT a person.

When are Christians gonna apoligize for killing 12 million during the second world war?

so v the k----

what you are saying is that Western annihilation of native indigenous populations was and is justified because they were/are primitive cultures. That is what you are saying.
In fact, you seem to think that those who are left should be thanking us for it. But you're not a fascist?

one more thing V the Koward, I'm tired of you presenting yourself as some holier than thou do-gooder Christian . the pictures of tits and animals having sex on your blog reveal the deep sickness you truly possess and explain your desire to hide behind "faith" and "good deeds" to cover up what a sick fuck you really are.

Usually, I don't get into it with really dumb, cowardly anonymous trolls, but this is definitely entertaining. So let's egg him on a bit.

First of all, it's funny to me that most normal people and all right-wingers, upon learning I'm a foster parent, tell me they think it's great what I'm doing. The only people who've ever been nasty about it are left-wingers. Both on the internet and in real life, it's lefties who spit and sneer about foster parenthood. Isn't that odd?

Second, there's the whole issue of someone who doesn't believe in religion bashing someone else for supposedly not living up to their faith. That seems to be the very definition of hypocrisy. Not to mention, if AC is a typical anti-religious type, he probably whines that Christians are always "judging" people. Yet, AC feels empowered cast his own judgments about on whoever he chooses.

Third, my blog gets a healthy number of hits and the people who go there have a good time. There's no nudity and no swearing, just people trying to make each other laugh. And I've even gotten to know a few of my regulars through email. It's all very healthy and life-affirming. The only people who get pi$$y about it are... once again... lefties. Laughter? Humor? Good fun? Oh, no, these things can not be had. We must all be bitter and miserable because of all the racism and oppression in the world! No laughter, unless its forced group laughter at Margaret Cho or Jon Stewart saying 'Bush is stoopid' for the 8 millionth time.

A better parody of a bitter, hypocritical, left-winger we could not find than our Anonymous Coward troll. Thank you, Anonymous Coward Troll. Every time you post, you remind us why we feel good about being right-wingers.

Apologizing for things that happened 150 years ago is totally pointless and nothing but empty symbolism - everyone involved is dead. Same deal goes for slavery - yes slavery was an ugly period of American history, but enough already! If the people who committed evil acts and their victims were still alive then there should be an apology. Its too late for that now. People need to move on.

Given the great popularity of state apologies for historic wrongs these days, I foresee the rise of an entirely new industry: consultants who advise governments on how best to apologize, mediate grievance claims, provide counseling to the aggrieved group, and issue high-level reports. This will, of course, be funded by the UN, and ultimately come out of our pockets.

Both on the internet and in real life, it's lefties who spit and sneer about foster parenthood. Isn't that odd?

Odd, but understandable. Lefties want the children raised in government run orphanages, not in private homes where they might be taught some actual values. What is a bit odd is that those compassionate liberals don't seem to feel any compassion for this kid living in terrible conditions. He's moving to a better life, with someone to actually care for him. That's good for him, right? But lefties don't believe that any Christian, right-wing or otherwise, has anything good about them. They also don't like that parents can teach their children "unapproved" things, since freedom only leads to bad things - in their twisted view, they need to preserve freedom by restricting it.

V, you are to be congratulated for your efforts to put your money (so to speak) where the libs mouths are and actually do something to make a difference for a child that needs help. You aren't running around asking the gov't to raise taxes and throw money at some fluffy "program" before flying your private jet back to Hollywood, you are actually doing something to help. Don't listen to the whiny socialists, they've got nothing on you.

Still no word on when Berlusconi will be apologizing on behalf of the Roman legions who brutally occupied the homeland of my Visigothic ancestors... and where's my reparations check, anyway? I'm a displaced person (by 1300 years or so, but still displaced)!
