John Hawkins over at Townhall has a fairly popular article up right now entitled "7 Questions for Liberals About Obama's Libyan War."  The article is nothing terribly special but it is getting a lot of link-love in the conservative blogosphere right now and thus its arguments merit response.  While Hawkins raises seven distinct points, the article basically boils down to a rehash of many of the Left's criticisms of George W. Bush's adventures in Iraq and asks why these criticisms don't apply to Obama's intervention in Libya.

Others can and will respond to the fallacy of this argument better than this author ever could and thus this article will waste no time detailing the difference between a no-fly zone and an actual war nor will it discuss the difference between unilateral action and a UN backed multi-national operation.  These facts and distinctions, while important, are not really of any concern to those on the right who simply wish to scream "hypocrisy" now that President Obama has undertaken the first true foreign action that can be called his own.  

No, for people like Hawkins, it is best to address their points head on.  Hawkins asks, "Where are the massive protests" and he deserves an answer.

When I first started this series of presenting history's greatest Liberals, I knew that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s entry would be made on August 28th, the anniversary of his famed "I Have a Dream" speech, which was delivered nearly fifty years ago in 1963. Dr.

One of our most cherished and sacred privileges as citizens of the United States of America is our right to vote, and for millions of female voters throughout the nation, this right simply wouldn't be possible without the courageous and relentless efforts of Lucy Burns and Alice …

Pound-for-pound, Jesus Christ is the most famous and celebrated liberal activist of all time.

As ambitious as the title might seem, my intention is rather simple in design: I'm going to list solutions to the problems this Country is facing.

Many people claim that Muslims never speak out against extremism.. Of course this is totally false. One such example is Irshad Manje-- a devout Muslim, but despite numerous death threats she is also a voice for reform in her faith.
