A righteous smackdown of the leftwing blogosphere from
Sociatus:
Which brings us to progressive and liberal bloggers at their worst- political junkies engaged in "he said she said" gossip, just like MSM pundits only generally with more thought, facts and intelligence.
I have no objections to political junkies getting their fix. But now would be a good time to take brief break from bingeing. Your country really does need you. Chances are, to be brutally honest, nothing you do over the next few days will make a huge difference either way with Rove or Roberts-not unless you have access to information that even Patrick Fitzgerald or the White House does not. But you can make a huge difference-as a citizen and as blogger-with the Patriot Act.
Hat tip to Bilmon,
Kiss The Fourth Amendment Goodby:
I'm not sure when these constitutional abominations are supposed to reach the House and Senate floors. But Sociatas is urging people to contact their elected "representatives" (I can think of some better words) as soon as possible. He includes links to a couple of ACLU pages that allow you to email or look up the phone number for your Senator or People's Deputy.
I feel bad because I haven't been paying enough attention to this fight, and didn't encourage people to get involved earlier in the process, when the chances of stopping at least some of this garbage were higher. All I can do at this point is add my own encouragements to Sociatas's appeal to call or write. Because a Bill of Rights is a terrible thing to waste.
Where's Move On? Where's Common Cause? Where's the leftwing blogosphere?
Maybe it's time to get off our dead and dying butts and get into action. Maybe it's time to step away from our keyboards and get out into the streets to raise a little hell.
