An eventful holiday season this seems to be! Right now, I seem to hear about the evils of Wikileaks from almost everywhere. Liberal blogs froth at the mouth, furious at the privilege of receiving more information on what their cherished Obama administration is really up to. I think it’s an anger analogous to someone refusing to be woken up in in the morning after a late night of drinking. The alarm goes off, but the rude reality – that it is indeed morning – is angrily denied and the alarm is silenced, or smashed.

In the race to the bottom of American’s expectations for… well, just about anything we have seen our leaders take every advantage possible of taking more and giving less back to us. Whether it be in the form of rights, money, jobs, security, honesty, transparency, or any of a myriad of things we generally take for granted – we are expected to get less and like it.
