liberalism

For some reason I can't explain, I had a phrase start running through my head. I googled it and just as I did so, I realized it was from the Declaration of Independence. I started reading it through again. This time, with an eye to why I think it's time to declare Obama an enemy of the free people.

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."

Wonderful video. In three parts.

The story is that Kenny MacAskill is surprised when Libya makes a big deal out of the bomber going home.

One thing I love about our American psyche, is that we usually give the benefit of the doubt. When confronted with evidence of something wrong, most people are called on the carpet and asked... "Can you explain this?". And it is generally meant as it appears. We're not the kind that presume that people are incompetent, bad, malevolent, or worse when we know little of the circumstances.

We tend to have this same kind of 'benefit of the doubt' when it comes to history.
