I quite agree, but this is the wrong day for a lecture, champ.

I am shocked and saddened by today’s shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms. No American institution is more important to this effort than the Holocaust Museum, and no act of violence will diminish our determination to honor those who were lost by building a more peaceful and tolerant world.

Today, we have lost a courageous security guard who stood watch at this place of solemn remembrance. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this painful time.

“Remaining vigilant” evidently doesn’t include periodically checking your church bulletin for Hamas screeds or challenging the right of Holocaust-deniers who pine publicly for Israel to be wiped off the map to possess nuclear power.

As I have no grand ending to this post, I’ll turn you over to Glenn Beck for Wednesday’s apocalyptic thought of the day. I’m not overly worried about pogroms against conservatives, but his point about anti-semitism during a global economic downturn in a dhimmified western culture is well taken.
