Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

December 7, 2007

Forty-four years before the Imperial Japanese attack on the United States, an Hawaiian leader referred to the loss of Pearl Harbor as ?a day of infamy in Hawaiian history.?

Lilioukalani, who would become Hawaii's Queen in 1891, used that phrase to describe the surrender of Pearl Harbor by her brother, who was the last of the puppet monarchs installed by the US government. The independence-minded Queen Lilioukalani reigned only two years before being deposed in a coup. Her overthrow was arranged by a tiny, Washington-backed clique who were supported by a small but formidable contingent of U.S. Marines.

We properly remember FDR's more familiar words that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a ?day that will live in infamy.? But it was Washington's imperial designs that put Americans in a position to be attacked on that day. And today, the same interventionist foreign policy is sowing the seeds of future tragedies.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
