I'm still following Power Line in an effort to try to incorporate at least one voice from the opposite end of the political spectrum into my reading, but so far I've found little that has been at all persuasive to me, and frequently I just end up shaking my head.

Case in point, this entry. In it, the authors use this quote from Obama's Memorial Day speech:

"Our fighting men and women - and the military families who love them - embody what is best in America. And we have a responsibility to serve all of them as well as they serve all of us.

And yet, all too often in recent years and decades, we, as a nation, have failed to live up to that responsibility. We have failed to give them the support they need or pay them the respect they deserve. That is a betrayal of the sacred trust that America has with all who wear - and all who have worn - the proud uniform of our country."

Apparently they're interpreting this as a specific attack on the Bush administration?

I've never thought much of Barack Obama's policies, and I'm starting not to think much of him as a human being. Today he continued his gratuitous and graceless attacks on his predecessor in the inappropriate context of Memorial Day.

Paranoid much?

I'm thinking of dropping them from my readings, but I'd like to replace them with a more thoughtful, less rancorous conservative voice -- something like a long-lost conservative twin of Kevin Drum. Will have to go looking when I have more time.
