People are paying attention, so now is the time to write in to the [expletive] media and explain who we really are. We don't read MSOC for the curse words, we read her because she is insightful as well as passionate. What does "left" mean? Support for people like Wesley Clark, Mark Warner, and Gen. Anthony Zinni? Is it "leftist" to understand a country that you are about to invade and have a plan for how to handle the consequences? To be willing to be fiscally responsible? To believe that America should stand for something besides Abu Ghraib? To understand why the founding fathers thought the separation of church and state was crucial? To believe in the separation of powers? To have noticed that the press is failing in its crucial role in creating an informed electorate? Let them know that we are America!
