Telling omission
July 7th, 2009
Dinocrat notices something:
We don’t know about you, but we find it creepy that an American President gave a 751 word 4th of July address without once mentioning the words “freedom” or “liberty” or even the American Revolution. To deliberately omit the pivotal words of America’s founding (while choosing to include the undignified term “kick back” and the strange phrase “cluster of colonies”) shows a disdain for the central tenets of the American experiment. It’s really that simple.
Indeed it is. And not at all surprising, really, if you’ve been paying any attention at all to who and what the man is.
