I think Mr. Babbin is totally on-point in "Time to Fight Back" of the need to "push back" against the left. Unfortunately, Mr. Babbin's admonition of the need to "push back" does not go far enough.

At the American Thinker website, I just read of how the Republicans got "steamrolled by the left" in the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. It seems that on issue after issue, the common sense of libertarian and conservative principles are being waylaid by the left, whether of the liberal or even more socialistic progressive variety.

Great article, Mr. Babbin. It's high time to get busy. This morning, I sent this email to my two federal officeholders who will be running for re-election this coming November.

"Since you are running for office in 2006, I would very much appreciate an email response to the three questions below, because, in all honesty, any candidate who does not agree with me on matters of national security is not worthy of my vote, regardless of any other considerations:

"1. Do you support the idea that we should use all legal means necessary to find out what the terrorists are doing in their to attempt to kill our families, and any constitutionality questions about those legal means should be worked out behind closed doors with the advice and consent of the Congress?

"2. Do you support the idea that terrorists have inherent rights, even as they try to kill us?

"3. Do you support the idea that newspapers have the right to notify terrorists of programs that may interfere with those rights, regardless of the legality of that program?

"A simple 'Yes' or 'No' answer to each question will suffice."
