I'm sure I would be skeptical if I were you as well, but I don't even like Bruce Springsteen's music, much less spend my time on any fan website. Ever since Born in the USA came out,I noticed that like for most pop tunes, people tend to read into it what they expect. So I punched up Google to get the lyrics and make sure I didn't just remember it wrong. I am, however a liberal, like our new Presidential candidate Gen. Wesley Clark, who sees no contradiction in being proud of the fact that, as General Clark said on Bill Maher's show last week, we live in a liberal democracy. The reason I registered on Freerepublic is the same reason I have listened to over 3000 hours of Rush Limbaugh ( thats right, 6 hours per week since spring of '92) During my 400 mile per week commute to my surgical practice in Lower Bucks County PA. It is the same reason that I've read William Buckley's classic work "UP FROM LIBERALISM"(out of print but available), and read conservative literature in about a ten-to one ratio over liberal works for more than 25 years. It's because I'm committed to get more intelligent with time, not more closed minded. I'm sure that all members of Freerepublic would find that their policy positions would be enhanced if they they read valid opposing views as much as possible. Let's face it, since I can appreciate "Maha-rushdie at the golden EIB microphone", some of our conservative bloggers can read Paul Krugman's "The Great Unraveling". Good reading!
