editorial " A lot of talk, too little clarity" by Glenn Garvin, Miami Herald

“A lot of talk, too little clarity” – Glenn Garvin, Miami Herald, 5/6/09

As I wrote to a friend:

Just a quick note of encouragement that there are those out there in the media that aren’t “star struck” by the current administration and all of the Democrat histeria!

If you didn’t read his editorial this morning, here’s the link:

I like his commentary and hope to continue to see good things from him in the future!

One thing for sure – they can’t accuse him of being irrational. His commentary is scathing yet very finely expressed - something I’m striving to achieve.

Enjoy,

And as I wrote to Glenn Garvin & the Miami Herald:

Dear Glenn,

Just wanted to voice my appreciation for your " A lot of talk, too little clarity" editorial. I feel that I'm being bombarded by a constant onslaught of anti-Republican, anti-conservative, all things anti-Bush rhetoric. Any disagreement is portrayed as obstructionistic (if that's even a word) , and the accusation that "if you're not willing to agree and be part of the "solution", you're just part of the problem" . Tough environment but one where I'm being forced to refine and truly understand my core positions, and learn to convey them rationally. I imagine many are doing the same and ultimately the opposition is going to be quite formidable - I just hope it doesn't take too long.

Today's other editorials by Pitts & Robinson were brutal and joyfully jumping on the bandwagon to"kick them while their down" bashing Republicans, conservatives, and why not also start attacking Christians while we're at it. Tough times but hopefully clarity of thought and resilience, and the ability to effectively convey dissent will result.

Your commentary illustrates that we haven't reached the political Promised Land as many would like us to believe.

Thanks again,

Ed
