Every once in awhile I’m going to do this. Traffic has grown quite a bit on this blog, and I am appreciative of people like Paz, the path on the left and Articman, Arcticman Speaks!, on the right who make the blog a true search for truth. Paz is so very passionate, and bright, and expresses what other liberals cannot.
Most liberals, forgive me Paz, just call names. They have no plans, no ideas, just Bush- and Republican-bashing. Paz, you are different. Thanks for your input. Articman has his own firm outlook that I respect. I sometimes agree with Paz, and sometimes with Articman, mostly with Articman. But Paz will make points that are worth considering and deserve to be in the national debate. His points must be considered and dealt with. Otherwise, we are fooling ourselves.
Other recent contributors I appreciate are: Tom, Tomsbloggerspot, the wonderful Mary, Mary’s World, Empress Bee (of the high sea),
muffin53, Lexa Roséan, a leftist writer and occult practitioner, the witch doctor is in, plus others listed below.
One thing that I really like lately is that I’ve had some Muslim readers, like Tarek El Khatib, rambling and blabbering, and some Vietnam vets like Charlie, and a soldier stationed in Afghanistan, Sgt Dub. I’d like more Muslim readers to contribute. Plus, I value any active soldier’s input. We owe you a debt of gratitude, and you can contribute greatly to the political dialogue from your unique perspective. And, of course, I pay tribute to my high-schooler, LAEvanesce, who it seems will have some kind of a bright future in the arts or literature, or something political perhaps. Anyway, a welcome, rational, “mostly liberal,” point of view.
As I said at the top of the article, I’m looking for a few good men and women.

A Partner and Guest Bloggers
I really am aiming for two things, a partner, and guest bloggers. I want someone on the left who has the time, dedication, intelligence, and drive to post from time to time, or even daily, explaining the left’s position on issues we discuss. I’ll be patient. One day I’ll find this person, perhaps as traffic grows even more. Ultimately, I want a left-right exploration of the key issues.In the meantime, I want guest bloggers. People on the left and on the right. Just write a post, well thought out, on something political you’re passionate about—or expand a comment into a post. I’ll review it, correct the grammar and spelling if need be, leave it uncensored and post it. I’ll comment on it, but I won’t change it. You have a right to your opinion.
My Approach versus O'Reilly and FOX
I want to explain the difference between my approach and that of Bill O’Reilly, or even of FOX News. He and FOX say they are fair and balanced. I’m not out to be fair and balanced. I seek the truth. I want to hear from the left, not to be fair and balanced, but to arrive with them at the truth.The truth at this time in history, I believe, lies mostly with the right. The left is rampant now with demagoguery. They are taking advantage of minorities and slogans and ignorance and just plain bashing everything good and decent in the world. They glorify demons and vilify saints. Yet, we all cannot arrive at the truth unless we engage and challenge.
We can’t force the left to be rational or reasonable. We can’t force them to see things as they really are. They must arrive at truth in their own way. Liberal philosophy is a legitimate option to believe in. The problem is that liberalism can easily slip into socialism, communism, or a love of tyrants. This is where their adherents are now. Bush is the tyrant, and Castro is the model to emulate.
So, I don’t want to be fair and balanced. I’m not out to promote liberal propaganda. There is no moral equivalence between the left and the right at this time, nor between Israeli’s and the Palestinians, nor between America and the terrorists. There is a right and a wrong, and we, the Americans are right. The Israelis are right. The Right is right. The Left is wrong.
So, I want to engage, not to be fair and balanced, but to have a legitimate debate, a vigorous confrontation. Despite the left being wrong on just about everything, they do make good points, and these points have to be considered. Plus, one day it will be the time for liberalism to take over. Then, they will be right, and we will be wrong. It’s all about being honest, not sticking with a point of view because it supports our side—but sticking to it if it is real and right and good.
There is a Time
There is a time. A time for war and a time for peace. A time for everything under the heavens. This is the time for war and, coincidentally, a time for conservatives. We are the ones that can save the world, literally. We must convince the majority of the world to see this. Yet we must remain humble. When the liberals make points that reflect reality, we must listen. And then, when it is the time for liberals to take over, we must see that too. Then it will be our time to make points that they should listen to.I'm Looking for a Few Good Men and Women
I’m looking for a few good men and women who can see and tell the truth. I’m looking for Muslims, soldiers, vets, high school and college kids, Baby Boomers, Europeans, Asians, Hispanics, you name it. Speak out respectfully and you’ll be heard.Rock

Hey Rock
thanks for this mention and I enjoyed your comment on my blog. You said I left you an intruiging message a while back - I think what I said was that Everything you wrote made sense to me, even tho my liberal upbringing dictated that it shouldn't! At any rate, I enjoy your POV and even if I don't always agree - I feel I can learn a thing or two on your blogs.
Blessings,
Lex
