Today Is a Good Day for Freedom


Update II: Live feed
Update: MAL's crazy, young nieces are great sports as the hours-long, snaking lines funnel towards the capitol. And a thank you to Rep. Tom Petri's office (R-Fond du Lac) whom my sister reports as the most gracious, welcoming presence that she has encountered during this truly beautiful experience.

Today is a victory for the terrorists. Wait a minute, that's the GOP's SOP McCarthyite lies.

Today, Americans are reinvested with hope that our government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Liberty, privacy, the Bill of Rights: we now have a president who actually believes in these demands and rights of the people.

How strongly Obama acts, and how intently he repudiates through action the ideology of America's worst presidency is the measure of our success for the next four years.

And speaking of demands for liberty, I read that our Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen opposes the proposed police roadblocks that are all the rage: Good for you Van Hollen, don't let the liberty-hating, don't-go-anywhere-without-the-cops-checking-on-you liberals prevent a stand for privacy and freedom that ought to exist when one walks, drives, works or stays home and reads a book.

This is our country, and not Kathleen Falk's personal drama.
