Michael Moore's "Liberal's pledge to disheartened conservatives"
Worth taking a few minutes to read and sign Moore's pledge. It's not a "manifesto," it's not in-your-face, it's just a calm, clear articulation of what America voted for last week. Okay, so in the process, it highlights the differences between business as usual for the last few years and the new Congress, but that's only proper...
Dear Conservatives and Republicans,
I, and my fellow signatories, hereby make these promises to you:
1. We will always respect you for your conservative beliefs. We will never, ever, call you "unpatriotic" simply because you disagree with us. In fact, we encourage you to dissent and disagree with us.
2. We will let you marry whomever you want, even when some of us consider your behavior to be "different" or "immoral." Who you marry is none of our business. Love and be in love -- it's a wonderful gift.
3. We will not spend your grandchildren's money on our personal whims or to enrich our friends. It's your checkbook, too, and we will balance it for you.
4. When we soon bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq, we will bring your sons and daughters home, too. They deserve to live. We promise never to send your kids off to war based on either a mistake or a lie.
