When LMA asked me to guest blog, the prospect was a little daunting. How to connect? Hmmm. Well, one of the interesting things I have thought about recently, via MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, is the circles that we in the Blogosphere run in. We all tend to hit the big folks, Right Wing News, Powerline, Instapundit, Captain's Quarters, etc. But it is the small fry, Large Mammal and under, along with the readers, who really make the whole thing work. I hope everyone will indulge me a bit.

We all get some interesting overlap. For instance, I live in North Carolina, but I probably have about the same amount of NC bloggers on my roll as I do Bear Flag League folks. As well as from all over the country, and a few international.

That being said, let's take a look at one of the others Bear Flag League members, Byron from Slings and Arrows, who has an interesting excerpt from The Opinion Journal:

In his new role as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Dean has stressed that Democrats are stronger than Republicans on defense.

"Defense is a lot broader than swaggering around saying you're going to kick Saddam's butt," Dean said Thursday, drawing cheers from the crowd in this city that overwhelmingly voted Democratic last November.

It's not clear how this shows that "Democrats are stronger than Republicans on defense." After all, "swaggering around saying you're going to kick Saddam's butt" was precisely the policy of the last Democratic administration. The current Republican administration actually kicked his butt and even took down names. That strikes us as a pretty broad policy.

And from my NC blog buddy Ogre, we have a story about how Some Freedom Remains regarding the Christians who were arrested in Philly awhile ago for peacefully protesting.
