The Nation: "Stand and Fight"

[JudyM]

Brief, inspiring article from last week (just read)... excerpts:

"Roe v. Wade and a host of other protections of basic human rights are at risk. Bush is bound to try to assist the Christian right in its fantastical efforts to "Christianize" public institutions. Further inroads into the liberties of Americans are likely, through a "Patriot Act II" and other legislation as well as by executive fiat."

"There must be a fierce, protracted resistance in defense of democracy."

"a posture of meekness, resignation & accommodation leads to failure"

"...the mainstream news media, which too often during the campaign took slanders and pumped them up into running news stories while failing to hold the Administration accountable for its exaggerations and outright lies."

"We must all stand and fight."

3. Not a single article in this issue...

...addresses possible voter fraud. That disappointed me.

I'm not of the pursuasion that decisive fraud DEFINITELY took place, but it's beyond obvious at this point that it MUST be investigated.

4. OK but I had a nice real tall man to stand in front of me

and protect me and he ran away.
