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.

They're at it again, using fear and discontent to clamp down on the exercise of freedom. These days, it seems that a lot of conservatives think the revolutionaries who got the U.S. going were just kidding about all those rights enshrined in the Constitution. And didn't mean it when they said rights not mentioned are reserved to the people.
