Romney: 'We Should Never Apologize For American Values Or Japanese Internment Camps'
September 13, 2012

JACKSONVILLE, FL—Criticizing the Obama administration’s response to the current crisis in Libya and Egypt, Mitt Romney told reporters Wednesday that we should never, under any circumstance, apologize for the values that make this country great, such as our belief in the right to practice religion without persecution, our commitment to the freedom of assembly, or the overwhelming xenophobia that led to the relocation and internment of more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II.

“As Americans, we should never feel the need to question who we are or what we stand for, whether it’s our strong commitment to family or whether we’re rounding up a group of innocent people, separating them from their friends and loved ones, and putting them into what are essentially overcrowded prisons because they happen to be of Japanese descent,” Romney told the assembled press corps, adding that free speech and concentration camps are American ideals that should be cherished, not second-guessed.

“So if you ask me, should we ever apologize for freedom, justice, honor, or how we perverted those beliefs to justify one of the most horrifying acts of prejudice in American history, the answer is no.” When asked by reporters what American values are exactly, or what the phrase American values even means, Romney stared at the press, blinked several times, and walked off stage.

Just in case anyone missed it:

1. Got me, damn. I usually get these from the headlines. What a country that the Onion

is too close to truth and the media is delusional. Ayyiyi.

2. Could easily be a real headline.

3. Well, What THE?

I was suckered again.

4. Nice one!!! It took me actually reading the whole thing and seeing Onion at the end to realize...

that it was satire.

We may be more ready to believe this shit than most but as I read IT DIDN"T SOUND TOO FAR OFF THE MARK. Mittens is such a fuckup that it did not seem too crazy a thing for him to say.

This shows that he is down and getting lower each day. But you got to be careful with a wounded vermin, they can be tricky to put down.

5. Got nearly halfway through this excerpt before i got it.

Scary how close the unreal is getting to the real.
