I'm sure this is going to piss off just about everyone, but the criticisms expressed in this piece are valid. Wartime (with it's resultant hyper-emotionalism and hysteria) are perhaps when it is most important to "questions the actions of our leaders" and "second guess our intelligence agencies". Calm and rational scrutiny is not "unpatriotic", and in fact serves a vital role in the preservation of the republic. Vigilance is the price of freedom, and blind devotion serves no purpose in preserving our liberty.

I found this place back in the days when Drudge had a link posted to Alamo-girl's stuff. I'm starting to wonder if it wasn't so much the "pro-liberty" stance that attracted people so much as it was the "anti-Clinton" environment. Without, er, "tricky-Dick" II to kick around, will it remain a supposed "pro-liberty" forum, or will it become a "pro-Bush", "anti-terror" forum?
