"FURTHER EVIDENCE WHY SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST DESPICABLE POLITICIANS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW" by Mia T, 3.26.06

My point remains the same: The Religious Right has its survival (and very possibly America's) in its control.
The choice is stark: Stay home and place a de facto vote for the clinton-Soros-democrat machine, i.e., the people who want to crush you (and the party who will cripple Bush and lose the war)...
or support Bush and the war effort, and vote for an admittedly imperfect GOP.

or support the war effort, and vote for an admittedly imperfect GOP that is still acceptable to the Christian Right. In doing so, the ideals of Jefferson and Reagan will again take precedence and flourish.
Editing happily provided by jla.
I disagree with the premise of your edit, jla.
In the end, voting is something we do, not something that is done to us. And it is an individual act, not groupthink.
Each of us has it in us the power to overcome the demagoguery and marginalization (and worse) from the Left, and any sanctimony--imagined or real--from the Right, to make sure the commander in chief has the means to continue to prosecute the war and protect the nation.
I don't understand this statement, please clarify.
And it is an individual act, not groupthink.
Of course it is, (an individual act). But many, (millions actually), of individuals share the same basic premise in regards to what constitutes a political candidate that they would support and vote for.
Each of us has it in us the power to overcome the demagoguery and marginalization (and worse) from the Left,
I put the key word of your remark in bold font. For the last few years your clarion call, Mia, has been 'we must set aside our individual preferences, ethical/moral standards, and beliefs and vote (R) no matter even if the candidate's conviction are the polar opposite...all for the common good, (am I the only one who sees the contradiction here?), of beating the (D)'.
and any sanctimony--imagined or real--from the Right, to make sure the commander in chief has the means to continue to prosecute the war and protect the nation.
It is not imagined, and you know that to be so, Mia.
Mr. Jefferson,
The young lady to whom this message is attached is very bright, very imaginative, and loves America. She just has a problem with placing her priorities in the proper hierarchical order. Take her under your noble wing, explain to her what you meant in the Declaration of Independence and how your solemn and inspiring words should be applied by the thoughtful American. Take heed though, for she will contest many of your posits in the fields of science as well as critiquing your scheme to convert our nation to the decimal system, and she may suggest architectural amendments that should be made to your home, (and you will probably agree with her, at times). Oh, and be sure to show her the improvement you made on the plow moldboard...then put her to work. Getting in touch with the soil would be of unfathomable benefit to the girl. To be sure, you will find her engaging, charming and winsome. She is just in need of a (founding) father figure to not so much set her on the right path, but keep her from wondering off the road and stepping into a ditch.
Thank you, and best regards,
jla
A lovely letter to TJ. Thank you, jla. :)

Voting is an individual act, but we no longer have the luxury of time or circumstance to indulge our individual sensibilities. As for the sanctimony, I cannot say whether it's real. I don't know what is in their hearts. But I do know this: I'd take the party of sanctimony any day over the party of extermination. What's black and white and read all over and is more self-destructive than pre-9/11 thinking? (Pre-clinton thinking, that's what.... Putting doctrinal purity ahead of making sure a defective and dangerous clinton never again controls this country is pre-clinton thinking. We no longer have the luxury of time or circumstance to massage our sensibilities, to indulge our indignations. We will not survive another clinton. (We may yet not survive the first one.))

Happy knowing you took it in the spirit* intended. (As I knew you would).
* Mine and that of 1776.
Goodnight and Golightly, Mia T
great animation. Captures the Amish way of life/aesthetic.
