forsythYou should read The Decembrist, which I've quoted before. It's actually the first political blog I started reading, I don't remember from where. But here's an example of why.
Social Security is important, but...
It's a larger fight. That it seems like the forces of the Law of the Jungle are winning, but despite their rhetoric, there actually are some things government does well and should do to protect citizens. Beyond just national defense, much as I'm sure this pains my Libertarian friends.
And I think it's about time I made a new political post icon for LJ. Probably a bit from the Pledge of Allegiance. Republicans like to make a big deal about the "Under God" bit added back in the 50s, I think I'd go for "...with liberty and justice for all." Nicely liberal, don't you think?
