To: Cincinatus' Wife; RonnG
Let me add my appreciation to that of RonnG for posting this left-wing article from Salon. I say this early to preempt the typical criticism which we have come to expect from the Amen corner.

I prefer to get my news unfiltered and uncensored by conservatives who fear that it might undermine my morale or that we conservatives have no persuasive reply. It is vital to the effectiveness of this forum that we take these things head-on and rebut them.

Thanks for the courage to post this, you render a service to the conservative cause.

The writer’s dripping contempt and emphasis on conservatives’ insistence that America is exceptional, is so telling and descriptive of progressive “thought.”

They absolutely hate the idea of America as a superpower and world leader.

And it is also good preparation for all the dirt that is going to be thrown from the MSM and districts to the left thereof from the morning of the 7 November and at least for four years on.

"I prefer to get my news unfiltered...."

That of course is impossible unless you personally observe every event you consider newsworthy. You are always subjected to the filter of the publisher & author, whether it be conservative or liberal. Most stories in the media consist of some stated facts and commentary on these facts. The key is to seperate the two (often no easy task) and determine the credibilty and reliability of what is presented as fact. Then one can draw their own conclusions and determine if the commentary presented is reasonable.
