On Wednesday, Samantha Power, the new US ambassador to the UN, decided she had license to insult Vietnam veterans by claiming it was a “huge honor” just to share the stage with Jane Fonda. Power was speaking at the United Nations Association of the USA 2013 Global Leadership Awards in New York, at which Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager who was shot in the head by the Taliban for attempting to attend school, was honored.

Power pontificated:

Quote
Hi, everybody. You know life has changed when you’re hanging out with Jane Fonda backstage. There is no greater embodiment of being outspoken on behalf of what you believe in — and being “all in” in every way — than Jane Fonda. And it’s a huge honor just to even briefly have shared the stage with her.

Fonda was a rabid anti-war activist during the Vietnam War, infamous for posing with Viet Cong soldiers at a missile battery and accused by some of taking notes from American POWs for their families and giving them to the Viet Cong captors instead.

Fonda’s lame excuse for the Viet Cong photo-op? She told Oprah Winfrey last year, "I was an emotional wreck by [then]. I don't know if I was set up or not. I was an adult. I take responsibility for my actions.”

Vietnam veterans were furious with Power. Ned Foote, 65, a Marine Corps veteran who is president of the New York State Council of the Vietnam Veterans of America, said Fonda’s apologies were meaningless: "What she did is just very unforgivable. Apologies, what does that mean? She did harm."

Joe Kristek, a 69-year-old former Army sergeant who is president of the North Carolina State Council of the Vietnam Veterans echoed that Fonda "collaborated with the enemy." He referenced the allegation that Fonda turned over the notes to the Viet Cong; Fonda denies having done so.

Standing with those who have savaged America isn’t new for Power; in 2003 she wrote an essay for the New Republic in which she stated: “We need: a historical reckoning with crimes committed, sponsored, or permitted by the United States...A country has to look back before it can move forward. Instituting a doctrine of the mea culpa would enhance our credibility by showing that American decision-makers do not endorse the sins of their predecessors...Some anti-Americanism derives simply from our being a colossus that bestrides the earth...But much anti-Americanism derives from the role U.S. political, economic, and military power has played in denying such freedoms to others.”

Of course, Samantha would praise Jane. They are on the same wave length.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

The "Dumbest Thing to Say" award this week goes to UN Ambassador Samantha Power. At the 2013 Global Leadership Awards where honorees included brave Pakistani girl Malala Yousafzai, who does Power single out? Hanoi Jane!

This country is now being run by the people who cheered for Ho Chi Minh and spit on our soldiers. It makes me sick.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
