I find a political cartoon in Saturday’s Everett Herald very offensive. I am sure that it was referring to President Obama’s very correct remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. I quote:
“Humanity has been grappling with these questions throughout human history,” he told the group, speaking of the tension between the compassionate and murderous acts religion can inspire. “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”
Some Republicans, it seems, have gotten on their “high horse,” ergo the cartoon. Is there no end to their disgusting diatribe against our president?
Shame on the Everett Herald for seeming to buy into this B.S.
