The self-described “socially conservative but economic liberal” (how that occurs I’m not sure) Michael McManus, really moved out of his realm of expertise (Marriage Savers) today when he made a long comment entitled “Israel is using excessive force” under a Faith & Ethics banner. He regurgitates the talking points from Hamas and “Palestine”…whatever that is. My response to the paid columnist Mr. McManus is two-fold…(1) This is a war and it has been for a long time. What don’t you understand about that? When a country is attacked, they attack back. Another phrase for “using too much force” would be winning the war! (2) Stay in your realm for expertise which you say is “Marriage”. Save your brutality statements for WWII’s Japan and Germany…that’s excessive force!
