I found this place after I did a search for liberals online...I remember I went looking after the Iraq occupation started to go belly up, and while I was wondering what was REALLY happening, I saw Keith Olbermann rip apart the Bush administration on the handling of said occupation on a Special Comment...
and I found this place.
My grandparents were both into politics, and I remember being about 6 years old, sitting on their living room floor watching the Conventions...He was an Eisenhower Republican (because he HATEDHATEDHATED bureaucratic inefficiency, and after being a POW in WWII he came to believe that large-scale War was an Absolute Evil) and she was an FDR, hard-core, no-bullshit, economic Liberal who bled so blue you'd think she was a Vulcan. Both children of German-Catholic, alcoholic immigrant parents.
They NEVER argued about it. They BOTH voted for Kennedy. They both supported Civil Rights.
They let me watch.
The first memory I have of a sitting President being on television was the day Reagan addressed the nation when NASA lost Challenger...I thought "THAT'S how it's supposed to be done, lock stock, and barrel.." (he WAS the Great Communicator, after all)...
Now I'm here.
Cady Stanton... that's pretty damn cool, Blue.
