AtlanticBlog: Get a grip
Atlantic Blog has an interesting list of quotes from liberals in the past week; there absolutely have been too many people bemoaning the state of the US after the election (myself among them!). In fact, the last quote by Thomas Friedman sounds VERY much like my post of last week! For shame, me, for shame! Suffice it to say I agree with William Sjostrom; people whose candidate of choice was not elected have been equating the state of the world to the apocalypse. But Mr. Friedman’s point, and Mr. Sjostrom’s response, is where the devil will be exposed in the details. Bush has been elected on the strength of his positions on Iraq and terrorism. Will he be magnanimous enough to avoid alienating the left with policies which dramatically go against their core beliefs? Roe is probably going to be the best indicator thereof. Convincing the left that Bush and the people who elected him are not in favor of "a whole different kind of America" would be an accomplishment of historic proportions.
