Change in the description at the top

As time has past and as I started writing more on this blog, not just about the Bush Administration but on what passes for a Republican Party and/or conservative movement under the Bush administration as well as other affairs such as the creeping doom that is Christian Fanaticism that has crept into our national politics, I wanted to find something new for the Blog description something that better represents my attitude toward not only my country but those running it and those trying to tear it apart.

As such I chose the quote displayed at the top by Adlai Stevenson. It's one of those quotes that when you read it and think about it you have a sort of epiphany, if your honest with yourself, that our ability to be critical of our government, even our countrymen when we see them as being wrong is, indeed, the highest form of Patriotism.

To stand up and give voice to our concerns and not fear the retribution that doing so may bring is perhaps one of the highest forms of courage. It is not merely a benefit, or even merely a right but a duty in our society. If we have learned nothing the past 6 years we should have at least learned that.

So criticize me if you will for disagreeing. Slander me with idiotic insults, deride me all you like. However I am an American and a Patriot and I will not be silenced.
