When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

If you want to know what other possibilities are, you have to get news and views from other than the mainstream media, which are run by a small group and are more responsive to the wishes of the powerful than is really decent in a supposedly "free" press. Check out Red Pepper, a magazine of the leftward Greens in the UK.
Take a good look at In These Times, which takes a critical look at the country and things we have begun to take for granted -- but shouldn't.
For more, do a search on left | politics | news. It's out there, just take a look.
I have added a few samples in my links section on the left as well.
