Signs of Passion

A few months ago I started hearing rumors about people and things, so I started doing my own research. The more I delved into things, the more I came to understand why things felt so wrong. I don't have an organized list of matters to discuss here, but I definitely respect the events of human history and I do want my children to live with the same freedoms, the freedoms that have been slowly slipping away, unobserved, that I have had.

Yesterday, January 20, 2009, our 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama, was sworn in. The event was, to put it mildly, a media frenzy. Many, I'm sure, found this exhilarating. For me it was completely surreal. Today, he was sworn in a second time. What?

For reasons not yet known, I expect this Presidency and this Administration will be filled with firsts.

With all of the "conspiracy-theory, unanswered questions, questionable answers and questionable decisions" aside, and without succumbing to my desire to blather pages upon pages of my own personal fulminations, and unless my site gets hacked, I defer to the following article, already published by someone who does write editorials for a living. It represents the "signs of passion" I have heard increasing rumblings of.

Is dissent still patriotic?
