Dear Jenna,

Many of us who did not vote for your Dad now count ourselves in support of him. This doesn't mean we suddenly agree with him on his policies agenda. It only means that, still aware of his limitations and our disagreements, we put our trust in him to do the right things for the country in this time of extreme crisis. I approve of the cautious and thorough way in which he and the government are approaching the pursuit and apprehension of this crew of villains, and am glad he's not catering to the more extreme elements of his party and of the American people who are calling for immediate overwhelming retaliation. This doesn't mean I support oilwells in the Alaskan National Wilderness Area, or Starwars. That's the great thing about free speech, eh Jenna?

I heard a man on Denver Talk Radio say "its interesting that suddenly the American People have swung over to the view that Conservatives have held all along about the sanctity of our flag and our country". Well guess what? This land is your land AND my land, and as a card-carrying member of the Democratic Party I have as much right to wave the banner as any Mississippi Member of the Young Republicans Club. Its just that I reserve those kind of activities for when the chips are down, and I dislike wrapping myself in Old Glory as a simple method of sanctifying my particular point of view. And as for Bill Clinton...I would hope that my fellow conservative flag-wavers would have put themselves four-square in support of him in the same situation.

Now be on your way, Darlin, but put that fake ID on the kitchen table before you leave, and if you're unaware of the dangers alcohol represents, ask your old man. His opinion carries a lot of weight on that topic as well.
