Our freedoms, our rights, our laws, our liberties are at stake

i'm just a lone blogger without benefit of a big megaphone, but i'm gonna keep bangin' on this drum, day after repetitive day, as long as it takes...
Our freedoms, our rights, our laws, our liberties are at stake. None of us wish this were so. None of us want to see this have to happen. But the Constitutional Crisis is real, and the Democrats must respond with the respect for their office, for our Constitution, and for us that we rightly expect them to show.

why now...? after all, the new congress has only just started... because "now" should have been months, if not years, ago...
There are those who suggest it is too early to judge how the new Congress will act. That we need to give them time to get settled in. It's been only 3 days since they were inaugurated, after all.


At any other time in our recent history I would agree with this. Not now. Like FDR in 1933, the 110th Congress has taken office during a major crisis. There is simply no time to wait. And as Bush is clearly signaling, the first impressions make all the difference.

"there is simply no time to wait..." indeed...
