Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 2, 2008

Which is more outrageous: Barack Obama?s former pastor saying the 9-11 attacks were in some sense a reaction to the policies of the government ruling us, or the former Speaker of the House suggesting that the Bush administration should allow some terrorist attacks against Americans to succeed ?

Sean Hannity and other Republican mouthpieces eagerly publicized the statements made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright regarding 9-11. However, relatively few know of a statement made by Hannity?s buddy, Newt Gingrich, during a recent appearance at a Long Island bookstore.

One of the ?great tragedies? of the Bush administration, Gingrich claimed, is its supposed success at stopping attacks. This means ?there?s less proof ? that we?re in danger?. And it?s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.?

Whatever one thinks of Rev. Wright, he didn?t cheerfully envision the death of innocent Americans for political gain. Gingrich did.

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