LYAN: It's important to remember that the enemy is also us.

We are all in this together. Unfortunately, the other side thinks otherwise- and that all who disagree with them are part of an evil foreign conspiracy.

And that belief stems from purely bigoted traditions centuries old in the United States.

LYAN: Cowardice and conservatism go hand in hand.

Inspired by someone calling for "real talk" about Islam in the wake of today's bombings in Brussels.

The one quote I feel most strongly about:


Your opinion, whatever it is, cannot force my silence; and my opinion cannot force your silence.

LYAN: I Hear Someone Whistling Dixie... Seriously

Some recent news articles that reinforce my belief that a second civil war is not long off...

... when it comes, there will be no winners. Everyone will lose, either life or freedom.

And that's how conservatives want it.

LYAN: On the Practical Meaning of Independence

Today I finally got fed up with the emails I keep getting from Texas's version of Grover Norquist, Michael Quinn Sullivan.

<A HREF="http://lyansroar.blogspot.com/2013/03/on-practical-meaning-of-independence.html">Today's essay is the result.</a>

Independence means quite a different thing to the working poor.

A couple of recent LYAN posts:

Why Harry Reid is the Republicans' best friend...

and a letter to my (Republican) (wackjob) Congressman asking him to support Constitutional amendments to reform campaign finance and spending.
