Washington Post: Former U.S. official, wife admit to 30 years of spying for Cuba
"The couple's attorney, Bradford Berenson, said in a statement after the hearing that the Myerses were not motivated by greed but spied 'out of conscience and personal commitment.'"
I get it. They were committed to betraying fellow Americans out of conscience.

London Guardian: Forced labour and rape, the new face of slavery in America
"In one recent incident a 16-year-old Mexican girl was found to have been trafficked across the US border. Doctors noticed the heavily pregnant girl showed clear signs of physical abuse when she was brought into a hospital in Dayton to give birth. The police were called but the couple who had brought her had already fled. When the girl's story emerged, it became clear she had been kept against her will in the nearby city of Springfield and used for labour and sex. 'I thought slavery ended a few centuries ago. But here it is alive and well,' said Springfield's sheriff, Gene Kelly.

Chuck Baldwin: MY THANKSGIVING PRAYER
"The common attitudes being displayed by many Christians--along with their spiritual leaders and pastors--today, however, are truly disgusting: apathy, indifference, and lethargy seem to rule the day. I constantly hear things like: 'God hasn't called me to get involved in politics,' or 'I am only called to preach the Gospel,' or 'Maybe we need to go into persecution,' or 'It's not my responsibility to save America.' All of which exposes their personal cowardice and utter contempt for the sacrifices rendered by their brave ancestors--sacrifices which procured the very blessings of liberty that they now hoggishly wallow in without appreciation or afterthought. And now, when faced with the imminent threat of the loss of the very liberties that they have taken for granted, they glibly reject any personal responsibility to maintain said liberties for their posterity--and pharisaically excuse their miserable conduct with pious-sounding clichés. They even have the wicked audacity to attempt to use the Scripture as an unholy closet in which they might hide--the same Scripture that their forefathers claimed as an illuminating beacon that was used to conquer the darkness of oppression."
