Liberal Talk Radio

Okay, Mr. Contrarian.  Yes, the war is effectively “won” (won like we won Vietnam).  And, yes, the Dems are everywhere on the ascendent … although I’ll believe it when I see it [and, frankly, the likely victory in November will only mask the serious rot in the party's roots -- much like Steve Marucci's 49ers, it's a talented group, but the ideas and the players are getting creaky-kneed]. 

But don’t you think it’s at least a little concerning that we face serious challenges to our basic civil liberties and the collective response of most of us has been, effectively, to yawn and fret over a racially racy Survivor?

I think our buddy Beige has it correct — it’s time for us to stand up and shout a little.  Enough of this pinky-extended harrumpfing at the martini bar.
