Those who profess to favor freedom, yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.

Democrats back in power

posted by Shinka in Politics |

The Democrats have taken the House, and it looks like the Senate is a good possibility as well. The President is on CNN right now trying to make it seem that he’s not scared that he’s lost his rubber-stamp congress. It’s not working.
Rumsfeld resigning is an interesting event. Perhaps getting rid of him will possibly postpone troop withdrawals from Iraq. Bush might want to convince everyone to give the new guy a chance before removing troops. We’ll see how that plays.
Now lets see if a Democratic Congress will be able to get some real changes made.
