And They Were Sore Afraid

Dear Friend, The shepherds had their reasons. But they, like we, need always remember to be people of Hope. The angels rightly counseled: Fear not. Our founder, echoing our Creator, also counseled -- again despair. Americans, as a special people, must embrace the generous blessings of Liberty bestowed upon them, like no other.

On behalf of Rich Lowry and all our colleagues, I wish you and yours all Liberty's blessings, and a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Hanukkah.
