It was fascinating to see Barack Obama warning us not to leap
to conclusions about the killings at Fort Hood, Texas-- after the way he leapt
to conclusions over the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, when he knew less about the
facts than we already know about the massacre at Fort Hood.
Liberals like to take the moral high ground, even though their own moral
relativism means that there is no moral high ground.
One of the few advantages to the country in having Congress overwhelmingly in
the hands of one party is that the lack of need to compromise lets the leaders
of that party reveal themselves for what they are-- in this case, people with
unbounded arrogance and utter contempt for the right of ordinary people to live
their lives as they see fit, much less the right to know as citizens what laws
are going to be passed by their government. The question is whether voters will
remember on election day in 2010.
Even if this country can survive intact and unharmed after the Obama
administration-- or, heaven help us, two terms of Obama-- the gullibility that
led to his being elected in the first place will still be there for some other
slick demagogue to come along and get the power to put the American way of life,
and even our physical safety, at risk again.
