Spot-on about Obama. And I, too, find the bemoaning of ancestral grievances a curiosity. I only hope it doesn't catch on with others. I mean, the last thing I'd need to see is someone like, say, Mayor Stratton, standing before an eager audience and crying out against Canadians or Hurons for attacking him and burning his city, while he slept, as did happen in Schenectady one cold night in 1690.
Suppose I was approached by an undercover officer in the guise of an attractive prostitute. Suppose also I give in to temptation and for cultural reasons bring along, say, Father Flannigan to oversee the whole affair. Now, unless I'm governor of a large and populous state, apart from the Flannigan weirdness I'm guilty of nothing more than solicitation of a prostitute. A lengthy stint in federal prison would hardly fit my crime. So too do the sentences of the 2 Albany men seem similarly disproportionate. The government should be persuing active criminals, not trying to trick people into committing crimes and then prosecuting these same people for having been tricked. It's just all so contrived.
