Just as I wail and gnash my teeth (see posts below) about the
lack of a responsible Left, Michael Ledeen at NRO notes this
new, encouraging development. Clearly, I don’t agree with the
overall worldview of the signers of this manifesto. But these sound
like people with whom we can debate rationally, and with whom we
can find common cause on some basic, underlying principles and on
our love of these United States. May their rationality and civility
find a way to crowd out the crassness and nutso anger of the Howard
Dean Left.
