The Liberal Coalition

I know, I know, you're asking yourself, "blogA-who?".

It's true, I do live and breathe. Well, I do live and I sort of breathe. I've been sick since Christmas with this cold/flu/whatever it is that just will not go away. As soon as I think it's gone, it comes back. A pox upon these people who will not stay home when they're all germy! Thanks a lot. Almost all of New England has a cold now. The -16 windchills don't help either.

That's all I'll say about that. Here's this Friday's installment of the "blogaround":

I have moved past my outrage over the past four years of the Bush misadministration. Those folks have their own agenda, they don't care who they hurt, and they know now they can't be stopped. I've come to accept that this is a fact I have to live with, albeit a very difficult one.

However, I've only now come to appreciate that there are a significant number of people on our side of the fence doing the GOP's bidding --- including, disturbingly, at least two of the candidates to head the DNC --- either knowingly or as unwitting pawns. And for the moment, my ire is directed at them.

I've got news for you. If you don't like Michael Moore, that's fine. If you think he goes too far in criticizing Bush and other Republicans, that's just great. Come visit my comment thread sometime and we'll talk. But if you're so blinded by your hatred of your own party's left wing that you bash them harder, longer and louder than you criticize the Republicans, then the door is over there and don't let it hit you in the ass on the way out. If Michael Moore really bothers you more than George Bush does, and if you go out of your way to advertise that fact, you're not welcome here. If you are so eager to distance yourself from the "loony left" that you spout discredited RNC spin-points without even bothering to do the research to find out why they're flawed, then you are not a Democrat. You are a Republican, and you have no place here.
