[Vision2020] The Auntie Establishment and Brother Carl Show(July23, 2006)

Tony,

Once again, I disagree with virtually everything you've written.

Once again, I remind you that there's no need for you to wait to welcome "as 
patriots" those of us to your left politically.  We love our country.  Some 
of us fought in our armed forces, some of us serve in elected positions, 
some of us volunteer countless hours in food banks, after-school programs, 
senior centers, hospices, and other places that need help.  We do so because 
we believe that the way to show love for our country and respect for its 
ideals is to step into the game, as it were, and give out of our abundance 
to organizations that best respresent those ideals.  We may not always get 
it right, but we're trying -- trying to make our communities, which together 
form the wonderful tapestry of American life, the best they can be.  And 
while we often disagree with them, we know our sisters and brothers to the 
right of us politically love their country as well.  That is, until we see 
evidence that they don't.

I'm sorry you look at Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld as moral men doing their 
best for the nation they love.  I don't think it's the United States of 
America they love, but the privilege the free market has bestowed upon them. 
  There's a paucity of sacrifice, nobility, honor and integrity in their 
resumes, and an overwhelming indication that avarice, not alutruism, has 
been their guiding light.

Your contributions to Vision, while provocative and heartfelt, appear to 
reveal what you rail against liberals for, and that is an unfettered belief 
that everyone not like you must be bad.  I think the First Amendment 
deserves a better defense than that, if you're truly interested.

TOM, thanks for the link to Auntie and Carl.  Very illuminating.  Classic
liberal, public radio:  A commercially unviable and hysterical diatribe
against the current administration.  Bush was described variously as a
bumbling frat boy, a (gasp!) cut--up, smart alecky, a swearing swaggerer who
(gasp once again!) actually dared to give a playful shoulder rub to another
participant at a meeting!  The ultra liberal, New York times hack, Maureen
Dowd, was quoted at length blathering on thus.

If you folks would present a program that involved more than an orgiastic
fit of Bush --Bashing, you might actually develop more of an audience than
your small, like minded coven of bitter losers.

There is no hope in this type of program, no positive suggestions, just
bitter carping.

And I should correct Auntie, who claimed that Frank Church was a great man.
Truth is, the man was largely responsible for the emasculation of our
intelligence services during the 70s and 80s.  A portion of our
vulnerability prior to 911 can quite reasonably be placed at the foot of
this LESS than great man.

You liberals might well search your souls and ask if you are not perhaps on
the wrong side of history.  If your virulent partisanship and consistent
distrust for, and hostility toward, your own country will not consign your
ambitions to the ash heap of history.

There is still hope for you on the left though.  Take a fresh look at
Bush -- Cheney -- Rumsfeld and see what  the rest of us see: competent and
moral adults who have their country's best interests at heart.  We are
waiting to welcome you into the fold, to embrace you as fellow patriots, to
see you afresh as the discerning and loyal Americans you were meant to be.

Trying to reach out to the disaffected,  --Tony
