Good for you, Mr. President

The President has backed off his earlier statement calling the arrest of noted scholar Dr.Henry Gates "stupid," and invited both Gates and the policeman who arrested him to the White House to shake hands and have a beer together.

Good for him.

... anything to squelch any defamation lawsuits and to keep the police tapes of that night from being released to the public.
Perhaps. But "we should fear and love God that we may not deceitfully belie, betray, slander, or defame our neighbor, but defend him, [think and] speak well of him, and put the best construction on everything."

Too many people on both sides of the aisle not doing that these days, even when they can.

Sometimes, when a person has long supported and voted for the genocidal murder of unborn children, weakening the long term welfare of this nation in a way that gives aid and comfort to the enemy that can only be described as treason, the best construction of their political actions cannot be a positive and politically correct description.
And sometimes, when a person's position on the opposite political extreme from a given individual causes him to lose contact with objective reality and to abandon charity toward those with whom he disagrees, he engages in hyperbolic language like "treason" for what is merely extreme gullibility, fails to consider that people may be breathtakingly and disasterously wrong while operating from perfectly honorable motives, and rationalizes his own failure of Christian charity.

The Left did it to Dubyah for eight years. Aping their uncharitable and irresponsible rhetoric only further obscures the real issues on matters about which clarity and reason would better serve our purposes.
