Bravo, Lando, for writing with such conviction and clarity of thought. Your post is very encouraging to me. Maybe it's only the late winter doldurms, but I've been discouraged lately. With all the carping from those who claim to be on the right side of the political divide in this country, I fear we may be on the verge of putting yet another 60's radical into the presidency.

People seem to have forgotten the devastating legacy of the Clinton presidency — if they ever really understood that legacy at all. But Bill Clinton is not an idealogue. Kerry is. If we think Clinton's presidency was bad, we ain't seen nothing yet if Kerry gets in.

The idea that this nation would be so foolish as to install Kerry as president just three years after the events of late 2001 is just devastating to me.That every single right-of-center person in this country isn't standing up and working as hard as they can for GWB's re-election is mind-boggling. I am beginning to think that perhaps right-of-center people are genuine paper tigers.

I mean, they are the ones who always claim to be strong on defense. They always claim to want to march to the borders to keep the illegals out. They are the ones who talk tough about the 2nd Amendment, and religious freedom, and so on. But the left keeps winning. Why? Are the Republican leaders in Congress the only empty suits on the right? Or is it maybe that they are that way because we in the right-of-center grassroots are empty suits, too?

I can't even fathom what their motivation or thinking is. As I've said before, to pitch this President out of office over one or two issues, without regard to what that means to the war on terror, US security in general, our position in the world, and the likelihood of three or four Supreme Ct. nominations in the next term, isn't "conservative" at all, as far as I'm concerned.
