Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

May 4, 2010

During the White House Correspondents Dinner a few years ago, former President Bush narrated a series of photos in which he seemed to be searching for something. The punchline was that he was looking in and around his desk in the Oval Office for the missing Iraqi weapons of mass destruction ? thereby making light of the lies that led to a stupid, useless war that has slaughtered tens of thousands.

Barack Obama actually topped that feat of tastelessness during this year?s dinner by telling a joke about assassinating the singing Jonas Brothers if they displayed improper attention toward his daughters: ?Two words: Predator drones. You?ll never see it coming.?

Hundreds of innocent people have died from drone strikes ordered by Obama, who maintains an actual hit list of U.S. citizens subject to summary execution from above.

Bullies and rulers alike enjoy the privilege of making cruel jokes at their victims? expense. They do so in the serene confidence that underlings and flatterers will laugh heartily, or at least pretend to.

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