OK now Howlin, be the spin doctor here.

Tell us all why "Liberty for all does not mean independence from one another" is positive. Tell us why we should be happy that we are not allowed to be independent.

I am waiting. The founding fathers have risen from their graves and they are waiting also.

Go ahead Howlin, spin. . . Spinnnnnnnn.

Amazing how the euphoria of an Inauguration causes 99% of conservatives to go into temporaary blindness.

Peggy Noonan and I can still see. Thank God for 1%. We have always thanked the founding fathers for being 1%. The founding fathers are spinning in their graves over that sentence, so you might a swell spin us some terrific answer better than "Geez, talk about going off the deep end." Spin at a high RPM, Howlin. We are waiting.

Where on earth does it say that? Where did I say that?

Are you speaking about yourself?

Why don't we try a little context instead of taking a slice out of it and then pretending to a meaning not there?

In America's ideal of freedom, the exercise of rights is ennobled by service, and mercy, and a heart for the weak. Liberty for all does not mean independence from one another. Our nation relies on men and women who look after a neighbor and surround the lost with love. Americans, at our best, value the life we see in one another, and must always remember that even the unwanted have worth. And our country must abandon all the habits of racism, because we cannot carry the message of freedom and the baggage of bigotry at the same time.
