"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
This is my new political philosophy since the election. I believe that this can be a winning strategy for all of us...liberals, left-libertarians, moderates, and disgruntled conservatives....who are opposed to the radical right!! It's obvious that we don't always agree with eachother, and that's fine. But we need to all band together as a unit to defeat our common enemy!

What do the ACLU, PFAW, the DNC,the DLC, DFA, Micheal Moore,Ralph Nader, Democrats, Greens, left-leaning Libertarians, moderate Republicans, and some independents all have in common?

They are opposed to the radical right!!

Can you imagine what would happen if they all banded together? The right-wing wouldn't stand a chance! Imagine what would have happened if all Nader supporters, Green party members, independent progressives, and Democrats had voted for the same person in 2004. On the Republican side, some libertarians have been voting with members of the religious right! If two philosophies as different as those two can find a way to band together to defeat us, then we can certainly band together to defeat them!

1. Dick Tracy: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
The friend part only works when they really are your friend, as in the case of Michael Moore, the ACLU and the PFAW.
