When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Too late?

I fear you may be too late already to stop Bush & Co. For the first two years of his tenure in the WH, most Democratic congressmen offered support rather than criticism.
You voted to endorse the supposed blodakge of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and with none found to date, it becomes obvious that WMD was merely an excuse for jumping on the Iraq oil and edging out the Euros.
Most Americans want our country to be strong-- but do not want to rule the world.
Most Americans want security -- but do NOT want to give our our cherished rights to free speech, fair trials etc.
It appears the country is now owned by the corporate interests which have the "rights" of persons but the moral responsibily of a machine. I was appalled when I read how much Haliburton's Brown, Root Co. controls America and the world.
I got a call last night asking for money to block the right-wing Supreme Court nominees... a worthy endeavor in normal times, but now it appears to be too little, too late.
You people are going to have to jump way outside the box to stop this guy.
