The problem is that we’ve forgotten the stories of our forebears. It was George Washington who, after chopping down a cherry tree, said:
It was I who chopped down the cherry tree. I only regret that I have but one cherry tree to chop down for my country. By the way, Thomas Jefferson is a whiny fop.
We also shouldn’t forget Alexander Hamilton who said, after Aaron Burr demanded an apology, responded by informing Burr:
I shan’t apologize: however. I shall be pleased to bust a cap in your ass at twenty paces.

Here’s a random thought to help you out, being as you seem to be a bit short of random thoughts today……’Give a Prog a fish and he’ll whine for a day because you didn’t redistribute more of your fish. Teach a Prog to fish and he’ll whine for a lifetime that we need more government agencies to regulate fishing.’ There, hope that helps.
@zzyzx: Give a prog a fish and he will roll his eyes and snort with derision at what a redneck, hillbilly cretin you are for not serving it in a sushi roll. Teach a Prog to fish and he will demand a government subsidy for NOT fishing in Gaia’s overfished waters. (And then he will complain about what a redneck, hillbilly cretin you are, just for good measure.)
@MarcoMancuso: Yep, that is closely related to the classic “I’m sorry you feel that way.” Not sorry for what he said or did, just sorry you are so messed up that you reacted inappropriately (and are being really annoying about it, to be honest).
Is there a greater phrase in our language than “I apologize if anyone was offended”?
Yes, Marko: “I apologize if no one was offended.”
Not exactly The Boy Who Cried Wolf but pretty much the same effect.
“How are you? I am fine. I am sorry I killed you.” Actual line from a Japanese live action series.

“Sir Winston, if I were your wife I’d serve you poison.” “Madam, if you were my wife, I’d drink it!” Ahh, the good old days…
here’s a real apology.

Actually, to me there’s nothing more absurd than democrats attacking their opponents for attacking their opponents.
Make a prog a fire and he’ll be warm for a day.
Set a prog on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life.
What’s a prog?
‘Prog’ is the derisive short form of the word Progressive which is what Libtards like to call themselves these days.
Oh, in that case, set’em on fire twice! 😉
