Wow. Floating in here from Captain’s Quarters, I just wanted to see what the response to Newsday’s “misrepresentation” was in this corner. Quite the journey from the beginning of the comments. I appreciate the level of intensity and knowledge among those posting here. It is refreshing. As I was reading, I noticed something on which I would like to comment. Seeing as the subject has been banned, I’ll be brief: the thought put forth regarding Midwestern beliefs on abortion is correct as far as evangelicals are concerned. When I was less informed than I am now, which there is not much difference , I voted straight Republican due to the party’s stance on abortion. Now I am a couple years older and want to know “why” I vote the way I do. I am pleased to note that still I have more in common with the Republicans than the Democrats. Unless there are some major upheavels, I forsee the future of my vote staying the same.

Please do continue your efforts of spreading the truth so that others may come to the conclusion, as I did, that the majority of “news” we hear (or read) is a form of liberal brainwashing.
