Barack Obama: “We are committed to seeking a future of justice, peace, security, and opportunity for the Afghan people.”

At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.

We’ve now fought a war, spent billions and billions of dollars, you know, put enormous strain on our military. A lot of people have died. And it feels like we’re back where we were before we started the war, except maybe a little bit worse…

That was fantastic. I was a little tall for it.

While we are non-partisan, we are not value-neutral. We have a point of view.
