Here’s some good news, finally. I’m an optimist in some areas. I’m a realist in many, but I like to think that most people are smart enough (or good enough) to believe that all Americans should have health care and personal sacrifices, though unpleasant, are necessary for such. It’s not good to think that I’ll get paid less to help someone else, but that’s kind of the American ideal. A country that bands together to help out the little guy.

Thus, you can imagine my joy at taking a look at some recent poll numbers on health care, amongst other issues. You can read if you like, but here’s the important bit:

Very nice, America. I’m proud of you. And it strikes another blow against the right-wing squawkboxes who insist that their viewpoints represent “most Americans” or “real Americans”. I’ve theorized that America is more liberal than it lets on, mostly kowtowed by the belligerent neocons into staying quiet for fear of sounding “radical” or “un-American”, and it looks like I’m right.
