SCONing: Saturday of new eateries.. Last night we tried a new dessert place: Georgetown cupcake. It was a bit of a walk, and had a long line, but the cupcakes were good. And there was a group of about 18 of us who went, so that was fun. None of us have internships tomorrow so everyone felt a little bit adventurous about staying out later. I got some good pictures.
After that we walked over to foggy bottom and headed in the direction of the Jefferson memorial. It was a bit of a trek, but it was worth it. The Jefferson Memorial is so cool, and I love how it is out on the water. We were there until about eleven, when they shut off all the lights while we were still inside. I actually thought that was kind of cool. There is a quote in there that I really like. “God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?” A perfect argument against the seperation between church and state. Anyone who says the founding fathers meant to write God out of the constitution completely is lying. And that is important to remember. Every liberal pundit I have hear lately has said that Glenn Beck and the “restore honor” tea party are a bunch of old crazy white people. It is sad to think that old crazy white people are the only ones that embrace the values and ideas our nation was founded upon. I would like to think that it’s not true, but we know that the nation has been moving in that direction for a long time, and the current government is highly representative of that.
