We continue to gain insights into Obama's values (or lack thereof), as he has somehow found time to go on The View, but none to make a traditional presidential appearance at BSA's quadrennial jamboree in Virginia -- and not just any, but the Centennial. Nor the even more convenient centennial BSA march in Washington, D.C., right by the White House. The president is the honorary president of BSA, but that means about as much to him as the honorary "leader of the free world." Of course we shouldn't expect anything different -- he's just showing his solidarity with the anti-Scouting ACLU and gay activists. Again, playing to his base, just as with the Arizona bill.

Equality -- of Outcome This can be easily understood in light of the liberal/left preoccupation with equality and feeling good about oneself, whether deserved or not. For them, equal opportunity is not enough – they will not rest until there is equal outcome (socialism), and will enforce it if necessary. See also the Prager University link (above, right) on the “American Trinity” of values vs. the French trinity. Hence redistribution of wealth, apologizing for American status and attempting to lower it militarily (unilaterally), economically (at least the result, if not explicit intent), bri
