welcome to that huge majority of americans that have been alienated by the posing and rhetoric of the fools in our political system. while the two major parties and their devoted followers have been spewing hatred at each other, the rest of us have just been trying to survive - and those jerks in the capitol ain't makin' it easy.

don't worry, you're not becoming a war mongering reactionary. you've just come to the realization that your good old-fashioned liberal values have been twisted by the left's political machine into a perversion of our original aims. you've seen through the lies and false promises to the cowardly heart of the nouveau-left and, like many before you, you've found them to be lacking.

don't worry, you're still a liberal. you've just become a rational liberal. you understand that there is a price to pay for the changes we need.
