very interesting email

I was reading instapundit today, and came across an amazing post regarding an email from a reader. Here's an excerpt:

You rightly point out that we liberals must do our best to shout down, disassociate ourselves, do everything we can to make ourselves no longer the party of Michael Moore, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, et al.

And as you noted, the Right does do a better job of quieting its 'idiotarians'. The only problem is, they essentially do it with the "bribes and promises" approach. Jerry Falwell, even when muzzled, knows that to some degree he and the people he represents will get a hearing from the White House and congress, the American seats of power.

This makes so much sense to me, an average college student from the midwest who voted for the first time in the last election. I enjoy watching Michael Moore movies, but I always take them with a grain of salt: everyone is skewed. It's up to us to decipher the news and somehow make our own opinions.

The man or woman who only reads one newspaper each day, only watches one news channel, that is the person who desperately needs a kick in the pants. This is your country, this is your voice, and this is your time to decide where you want to go with it.
