ö Ron Kovic: Breaking the Silence of the Night Yes, that Ron Kovic, Born on the Fourth of July, brave as always:  When will we end this silence? How much longer will we wait before we are ready to finally admit that the murderer lives in our own house, that this government that we entrusted long ago with the sacred task of protecting life and liberty now, by it's every reckless, unjust and immoral action threatens the lives and liberty of us all? Have we become so complacent, so cowardly and intimidated by this government that we have forgotten our own revolutionary birthright of rebellion and dissent? Have we become so paralyzed by the eleventh of September that we would give up our liberty and freedom for the promise of a security that does not exist by a government that now threatens our very lives? What will it take before we finally realize the true reality of this crisis? How many more terrorist attacks, senseless wars, flag draped caskets, grieving mothers, paraplegics, amputees, stressed out sons and daughters before we finally begin to break the silence of this shameful night? Let us open up our hearts and speak in a way we have never spoken before knowing that lives now depend on it, and the very survival of our nation is now at stake. Let not our silence in this crucial moment betray us from our destiny. more  permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?

ö Wes Clark - Call To Arms [Daily Kos]  Former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Europe and retired Four Star General, Wes Clark, giving a call to arms about the dire state of our democracy. Please watch. Clark gives chilling first hand accounts of the Neo-Con strategy to take us to war with one billion Muslims.  This ends up going to a YouTube video of Clark giving a speech recently stumping for Dems in Iowa. I'd link to it directly but the comment thread at Kos is also worth a link, so two for one. As much as I think Clark is overly simple on 9/11, I can't help but admire the man's acuity and directness. He is a bracing alternative to Washington corruption, and I'd vote for him for president in a heartbeat. Oddly, I couldn't get in through the front door of his own site, but here's a good way in -- Clark Flys Under National Media Radar For Dems In 06 permanent link #     ^ TOP ^  what is this place?
