Sorry Bonnie, it got here before the recall.

open their minds to a more conservative perspective
Oddly enough, to my OWN mind's definition, I think of myself as conservative to middle. I feel I have an open mind for the most part; I really try to see both sides of an argument. I try to see what is fair. There have been several times when I thought people were too hard on Bush for something in particular. However, on the whole, I hink he's been a terrible experience for our country.

In today's political definitions of liberal and conservative, people would most likely label me as liberal (is new term "progressive"?), but my "liberal" attitudes are actually attitudes that I think conservative people would have if THEY would "open their minds". Apparently then I need another term to use. If I am labeled liberal for attitudes that I consider middle to conservative, I need something to be further right than the word conservative. I guess I would consider that word to be "backwards".

Cathy, some people cannot see beyond their own perspective. Revisionist
history abounds, even after the truths have been laid bare. Personally, I
am very thankful to our veterans of all wars, not that I am a big proponent
of war. I am glad that (at least to some extent these days after the
secularists have been at work) I can follow my religious convictions. (My
grandson, however is made to feel "odd" both at school and by his step
siblings, that he is a Christian.) I am glad I don't have to speak German
or Japanese, which could have been a real possibility in WWII. I am very
glad we have a democracy thus far. Though a democracy is not a guarantee
and we cannot assume that if we leave dictatorships alone abroad that they
will leave us alone. And where are we when we see genocide? Is it just the
people being annihilator's concern, or should it be ours too? (As much as I
love the folks on our chat group, I don't feel many of them can stand to
open their minds to a more conservative perspective.)

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

But the devil is in the details.... and it helps to have 20/20 hindsight!

Not necessarily. But probably Korea, Viet Nam, and Iraq.

Do I conclude that we should have stayed out of WWII?
