A Proud member of the Brigade of Bellicose Women
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. — Samuel Adams

Who does what? [permalink]

Jacob Sullum takes on the other "war on" and the disingenuous ads about it. If you'd like to know my opinion of the "war on drugs"... just read that.

What do blogs do?[permalink]

Spread ideas. And Jeff Jarvis has a damned good one. As Richard Bennett says: "Pass this on.". Send it in e-mail to anyone likely to be at the Olympics! Hey... it's what blogs do -- pass ideas. It's something Americans do too. If you can pass the word to ten Americans (or sympathetic friends of the US) at the Olympics, I'd bet it will happen. Here's the idea:

"So the Olympics relented and will let us bring our tattered flag from the World Trade Center into the opening ceremonies. How frigging big of them.
Here's how I want it to play out:
As soon as the flag enters the stadium, the entire audience should rise and sing God Bless America -- spontaneously, unanimously, reverently, defiantly.
I'll be damned if I'm going to hide like some PC mouse just because other countries don't like us. This is our country. We have been attacked. We are prevailing through it all. We will be united and proud and strong together. We will show it.We will bring our flag into our stadium.
We should rise as one voice to sing in praise and hope.

Given ten (possibly even one) person starting it, I'll bet it would happen. If you'll be there -- and even if you sing as off-tune as I -- do it! It's long past time we gave a collective "up yours" to those who despise us.
