Urgency for Quick Action

Fire of Liberty

Roger Kimball of the New Criterion has an interesting piece on the magazine's blog Armavirumque that notes that we face a lot of fierce and menacing enemies out in the world waiting to jump at the chance of attacking us that we should be more concerned about stopping them than rubbing our hands fretting that we're infringing on our "civil rights." I'm rather tired of blowhards in the US Senate going before cameras beating their chests saying the White House is looking into all of our lives or trying to turn the executive branch into some imperial post, when the enemies of our nation a laying in wait planning their next mission and changing their habits after learning how we track them. Time is not on our side, we've got to act and act now. Thanks to Roger Kimball for reminding us of this urgency.
