History will scold those who stayed silent

I understand where Feingold and Conyers are coming from. Where good and frustrated people all over the country are coming from. History’s verdict is all we have left. And when tomorrow calls today to account, some of us want to be able to say, we stood up. We called out. We were not silent.

It is small solace, but it is solace, nonetheless.

I love Leonard Pitts. If you read me, you really should read him.

Yesterday, in an interview for Fox News Radio, Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) accused Senator Russ Feingold (D – WI) of “[siding] with terrorists” by introducing a resolution to censure George Bush.

Senator Feingold’s censure resolution seeks to hold the President accountable for authorizing a domestic spying program that clearly violates federal law and for misleading the country about its existence and its legality.

To question Senator Feingold’s patriotism and suggest that he is “siding with terrorists” by seeking to hold President Bush accountable for violating federal law is despicable.
