Creating a Movable Type commenting account is easy: After you click on the "comments" link in a blog post (or are already in an individual blog entry), click "sign in." When you are at the Movable Type "sign-in to comment" screen, after the words "Not a member?" click "Sign up!"
You will be asked for a minimal amount of information, including an e-mail address, which we need to verify the account.

Tip: To ensure that you receive the confirmation e-mail when you do sign up to comment on the blog, BEFORE you sign up, put the e-mail address online@langnews.com in your mail program's address book. That way, the message from the server to confirm your account won't get lost in your spam file.
Many conservatives/libertarians have been less than enthusiastic about the Patriot Act and other such activity since Day One. However, blindly lashing out against the people who killed thousands on 9/11 vs. blinding lashing out at citizens who disagree with you politically -- big difference. Can't you see that? And the ACLU has always been hypocritical on which liberties they choose to defend.
