"We baptized the world into this new creation of unending and indefinite war, where our military violence has near-unfettered permission to strike with missiles and drones.

And it is a new creation that lives on.

We baptized ourselves, too.

And we died to the old self — the one that at least appeared to value due process, international justice, and respect for human dignity. And in the process, we became new creations that valued security at all costs, even our own humanity."

—

David Henson on how — in one, sad sense — Sarah Palin is actually right. (via priceofliberty)

“We are still baptizing the world with American violence.”
