From the left?
Just been accused of being a "left winger" by Facebook contacts who don't like my recent comments about Myth Romney being an empty suit.


Frankly, laughable. There is no American left of note; no one is calling for the nationalization of anything, we all saw the horrors of communism, and historically the "left" has never had much purchase in our society. But in this post-Bush world...

  • Does it embarrass me that our former president and vice-president cannot travel outside the USA without fear of being arrested for war crimes à la Augusto Pinochet? Yup.
  • Am I happy when communicating with friends and relations around the world that we are no longer a laughing stock or an object of disdain? Yup.
  • Is it easier to explain to my grandson who we are? Yup.
  • Did the same people who so vigorously defend Myth Romney send me the racist witch doctor cartoons four years ago? Yup.
  • Are all who answer "yes" to Cain's existential question "left wingers?" I would answer "nope," but if it's not so, then amen, so be it, and may I be worthy of the label.
