Some comments regarding blogs = far left.
Im increasingly sensitive to us being portrayed as "fringe" or "far left".
I would argue that we don't represent any clear, unanimous position on the left-right scale. That what unites us is our willingness to pay attention, our search for truth and justice, and our resulting anger when we see neither being fought for,

It is another sneaky attempt to marginalize those of us who wish to shake up the DC cocktail party circuit. To point out to those insulated folks who live in a bubble that things are scary out here in the real world (and I dont mean shoe-bombers or the was on terra).
Unfortunately, the attempts to equate angry=fringe=far left, with the goal of dismissing our arguments, seem to be wide-spread at present.
I think we need to push back wherever we see it, as it appears to be taking hold throughout the traditional media right now.
Over the past few years, our concerns have proven to be justified in many, many ways. Our instincts and analysis have been uncannily accurate. Conversely, the traditional crowd have proven to be wrong (and in some cases, complicit) time and time again. They have very little credibility, yet the belittling attitude is almost universal.
I say enough!
Unlike the bubble people and stenographers (and their ombudsmen), We see our beloved country going in the wrong direction, and it angers us and motivates us to action. To us it's not a game to be commented on with a chuckle. I would say that makes us proud amercians, patriots if you will. Certainly worthy of praise, not dismissal. Especially from a bunch of "entertainers" in the "news" business.
I'm not a stereotype, or even left in many ways, I'm just EXTREMELY PISSED OFF. Dismiss me at your own peril.
Just some thoughts on this beautiful Saturday. :) Enjoy the day.
