Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 14, 2009

?I don?t know how he can get this prize,? complained a 30-year-old resident of Kabul, Afghanistan in reaction to Obama?s Nobel Peace Prize. ?Maybe it's been awarded for all the houses they are bombing, or perhaps it's for all his soldiers that are dying in Afghanistan and Iraq."

It?s been said that once a person develops a reputation for punctuality, he?s free to arrive late at work for the rest of his life. In similar fashion, Obama?s reputation as a peacenik is impossible to reconcile with his performance as president.

He was nominated for the Nobel within days of being inaugurated, and within that brief time frame Obama managed to escalate the Afghan conflict by ordering Predator drone strike into Pakistan. He has also conspicuously left the door open for war with Iran.

Despite all of this, Obama has been embraced by the domestic left and the self-designated international community. Apparently, he?s their kind of warmonger.

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