Welcome
Hello, everyone. We are starting this blog as a way of fighting against the Republican administration and the increasing conservatism that is gripping and slowly tearing apart America. The 2000 election showed us how our country has become more polarized, and how the Republican machine will stoop to any level to assure themselves of victory. The 2004 election was a stark wake-up call to us that not only are conservative ideals taking root in the government, but that they are slowly permeating American life, and it's going to take real strength and action to fight them. We need to return this country to upholding its high standards of truth, democracy, freedom, and reason. In the past few years, we have taken a sharp turn away from these principles, with President Bush at the helm, and both America and the world are worse off for it. We can work to fix these problems, but it's going to be a long, arduous road.
We believe that the first step is to get informed. We're hoping that this blog will help us all do that - it's tough to keep track of the extent of the deception and manipulation going on by the right-wing, but it's important to try, so that we know what we're up against. We guarantee that it's only going to make you more outraged, and we're hoping that you'll channel that anger, and help us to channel ours. We're not quite sure what the best political action is right now. We only know that in order to make a difference, we're going to have to get involved, and stay involved. We're asking for your help.
Please bookmark this site, and share it with other concerned and resolved Americans. For our part, we will try to add links everyday to the most interesting, insightful, and inspiring political commentary that we can find. We don't aspire to be political commentators ourselves - there are many, many other people out there who do it better than we can hope to. But we do aspire to be an online community where our friends and family (and their friends and family) can become more active. We hope that you will help us by using the comments to suggest newsworthy links, as well as contributing ideas about how we can all get involved to turn things around.
We're asking that you come back and check this page every couple of days, and read the links, and hopefully comment. Additionally, on the left of the page, you'll find some permanent links that we've provided. We hope that you will check those out as well. You might need to get a couple free internet accounts to view some of the links (like Washington Post, New York Times, etc.), and we believe you'll find it worth the effort. Finally, if you're really motivated, we'd like to have you help us run the blog, because it ain't gonna write itself! Please let us know if you're willing to help.
Still fighting,
Dave and Kevin
