I get no news from leftist sources these days. I may open Salon.Com's webpage and scan the headlines to see what they are thinking but am not reading the articles. Today's Salon suggests many on the left are tired of war protests and ought to put their energy into other directions. I agree, and dont agree with the war protesters. However I respect their right to protest so long as they dont hurt anyone. Now that we're at war let's just fight it. And let the left get behind the middle and elect a superior leader who can unify this country in 2004 like John Kerry. But perhaps first Kerry needs to knock off Howard Dean. Or the war needs to be over. On the other hand, I condemn those on the right trying to use the war and protests to demonize their political opponents. Limbaugh types are hypocrites. If this were a Clinton war they'd be protesting it. They are all chickenhawks who never risked a scraped knee in their lives. Yet they pretend to represent our fighting men and women. They don't. As Gen. Wesley Clark said the other night "our military accepts and expects dissent, so long as the protests are not aimed at them personally, but the policy-makers". The military has nothing to do with Bush policies, especially those outside of the Iraq War, which are my main concern; economic, health care, education, environment.
