Over on a liberal political website where I've criticized Barack Obama's weak response to the crisis following the Iranian election, I've been roundly condemned as a warmonger who wants to prove that the US "has a bigger dick" than anyone else. Oddly enough, all I said was that the president should speak clearly, emphatically, and personally on the evil deeds being perpetrated by Mahmoud the Mad and the Mullahcracy rather than issuing press releases and non-committal comments from his surrogates.

All right, liberals, do you want to know what I mean? Here's the sort of response that Barack Obama needs to make -- the sort of response I would applaud and support.

So be a leader, Mr. President.

No more frozen custard while the Iranian people seek democratic change.

No more golf outings while Iranians are being killed in the streets by government forces.

Oh, yeah -- and also no welcome for Iranian government officials and diplomats at US Embassy Fourth of July parties around the world even as the Iranian government exemplifies the sort of tyranny that the Founders and the Continental Army rose up against -- and which the Iranian people are rising up against today.

Lead -- and if you don't know what such leadership looks like, consider the words of a better man who understands what America is about much better than you do.

Stand up for freedom, Mr. President. Stand up for freedom by speaking out for freedom.
