A Voice of Sanity in the Leftist MSM

The Trekmedic normally doesn't waste the $0.50 each day on the Inkwaster anymore. But occasionally, pearls like this letter to the editors shows up:

Bush like Lincoln

Is it possible that editorial cartoonist Tony Auth, always anxious to paint our president in the worst possible light, is unaware that Abraham Lincoln would undoubtedly applaud George Bush's resolve in the face of relentless and vicious attacks from the opposition party and a compliant one-party media?

These were exactly the circumstances facing Lincoln during the Civil War when things weren't going well for the North. Instead of caving, the politically expedient course, Lincoln showed courage and wisdom in firing his ineffective generals and pursuing his convictions - just as George Bush is doing.

There's no way to know whether the results of this president's resolve will be as salutary as was Lincoln's, but Bush would be wise to ignore snipings from the usual arm-chair, peanut-gallery pacifists at a time when a major show of strength is called for.
