2. My local paper is conservative, too...

...though nowhere near as extreme as yours. I had lunch Saturday with its editor at our Outreach to homeless vets. His son, a Marine vet of Fallujah, was in town, so I had a chance to talk to him, too. (The son is out now, and going through a lot of the same as your son. It was good that he also had a chance to talk privately with my friend, the PTSD counselor at the local Vet Center.)

The editor is actually a good guy--I like him. It's always interesting to talk to him, and we have no problem discussing our differing politics. He even took it pretty well when I told him I don't subscribe to his paper. :) He wants to be in touch through e-mail now, so perhaps I'll have a chance to further enlighten and influence him.

Interesting side note; the editor got his first reporting job, at UPI, thanks to Joe Galloway, the co-author of "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young," and former military correspondent who came out early against the Iraq War.

K&R (What else? :) )

3. I'm jealous,pinboy!I have no prob with conservatives

my dad was one...an Eisenhower Republican.I DO have a problem with these right-wing whack jobs trying to shove this crap down the locals' necks.And people wonder why we are 89% Repub/Tea party?

4. I sympathize with you

Your local ed. is not someone one you'd want to get any closer to. Better to deal with that one from a distance, through your LTTE's--and not risk catching something truly horrible. :)

5. actually-this isn't "my" paper-which is why I delegate it to other DUers

i don't want to dirty my "reputation" by posting in this drivel....

6. but-I DO think it's important for those in progressive areas to see

how we in the reddest of red live....and how we stick our necks out when we broadcast our beliefs.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
