"I got Soul But I am Not a Soldier " by the Killers ( and yeah, it is a Nike ad....forgive me...but I love this song) It's funny, but if you think about it Bloggers are Quiet Warriors...and we should all remember these past 8 years, because there was indeed a Battle Raging Within this Country....

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country." Lincoln's Second Annual Message to Congress, December 1, 1862.
