Political Quotes

“51 years ago and lasting for over 2 weeks, women and children were being slaughtered in the Warsaw Ghetto by Gestapo and SS troops. After a while, the Nazis brought in Waffen SS troops to take over and continue the slaughter. Today the slaughter is in Gorazde. I was going to speak about 79 years ago this coming Sunday, the date on which we remember the Armenian genocide, which was at that time the unparalleled slaughter of all time, setting the standard for Hitler and Stalin to kill tens of millions. But today we have Gorazde. The leftist columnist Mary McGrory--have you ever heard me quote Mary McGrory?--says this: They wished the president had not picked that particular Sunday to ride his Mustang around the track while the Serbian tanks ground into the streets of Gorazde. The symbolism was abysmal: Leader of the western world or playboy? I will submit this article for the Record. Mr. Speaker, this President had better focus on this. As McGrory says, it is history that will be merciless to this President, not the Republicans. Now let me say a few words about the Armenian genocide. Between the years 1915 to 1923, over 1 million Armenians perished as a result of the brutal policies of the Ottoman Empire. April 24, 1915 symbolically marks the beginning of the systematic policy of deportation and murder which characterizes the Armenian genocide. This Sunday marks the 79th year since the, then, unequalled slaughter began.”
