As a black woman surrounded by liberals I've never felt able to speak out without being completely alienated by friends, as I don't see politics as something worthy of making-or-breaking friendships. Hell, I didn't even vote last year.
But going through these posts has made me feel more connected to America and why we need to protect it from this attack on liberties and freedom worldwide. We need to be reminded of our responsibility to our country, as well as to ourselves.
See you at the polls!
I'm glad you're keeping an open mind! As a once brianwashed liberal myself, I found that even questioning the established liberal doctrine among my friends got me name called and labeled all kinds of things. I don't want to tip toe around issues, I want to solve problems and make all Americans' lives better.
