Actually, I posted that last year. Something very similar to what Dave stated recently: we gotta stop thinking as dems, repubs, african american, white american, etc. and start thinking as Americans. Its what is best for America as a whole that counts, not various ways that you want to try and separate it. I think you'll also find that many of us "liberals" on the site have sided with the right on several occasions. Heck, some of us said we even agreed with Bush on several points Check out the latest descision on Gitmo, most of the left in congress voted with the right and against the president. You might also consider how often the right wingers on this board berate liberals or speak of them in derogitory terms. A whole lot more often than the other way around. Still, I agree with the idea, dump the whole left-right bs and start thinking as Americans.
