BLOGGERY: a few pieces on various aspects of the Am I a Democrat question:
The Weekly Standard implies that there might be such a thing as a decent leftist.
Why Am I a Democrat?-- sounds like the second coming of Al From*, but the point is well taken.
Michael J. Totten with an interesting answer (under "Interesting Times"):
"A few years ago I would have been horrified if someone told me I would soon see eye-to-eye with Republicans, especially in regard to foreign policy. It seems like only yesterday that I stuck up for Bill Clinton's military intervention in the Balkans while most conservatives wallowed in anti-war, isolationist, objectively pro-fascist jackassery. The Democrats were emerging as the new War Party while the Republicans were turning into a bunch of Pat Buchanans. "
And some other trenchant observations
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
