Read Matthew Yglesias, Read him now

Mr. Yglesias makes a point worth stating over and repeatedly:

Liberal democracy isn't a fluke occurrence that just so happens to have survived despite its drawbacks. It's actually a superior method of organizing a state. The idea that the country is being run by people who don't understand that is sad and frightening. The idea that the very same people claim to be embarked upon a grand mission to spread our system of government around the world is like a horrible tawdry joke, but doubly frightening in its own way.

Well, on 7 November 2006 we will have the chance to begin taking back our nation. America can still be liberated at the ballot box. Put enough "D"s into office, and we no longer have to watch as the Senate and House vote on whether "torture is A)totally, B) mostly or C) somewhat awesome". Put enough "D"s in the house, and we can begin debate on whether or not to impeach a president who thinks torture is just groovy...
