We received an email from a journalist from San Francisco. She is currently working on a project where she travels to the red states and interviews people and is on a quest to understand America. What a great concept, because personally there is a lot about America we don't understand anymore. Her most recent entry is from the Perry Tent Revival in Fort Worth. Read the entire piece here, but here are a few of the Republican 'man on the street' interview excerpts:

The woman who runs the nursing homes is also a Republican. She said she tried to work with lawmakers and got nowhere. She says her patients are dying. I'm sure they are. People have been dying for years. Does she care about the babies who are dying from abortions?

PD says: That's compassionate conservatism in case you've missed it.

How do you feel about prevention and giving women the information and resources they need so they don't have an unwanted pregnancy? With the exception of chastity, I didn't heard anyone talk about preventing unwanted pregnancies at today's event. Isn't that amazing. Well, don't get yourself in a position where you'll get pregnant.

*blink*

I talked to some of the protesters out here who are concerned about separation of church and state. How do you feel about that? I go to church and I'm a member of the state so how can I separate myself? There shouldn't be a separation.

Fascinating. I'm going to stick my head in the freezer for a minute, I'll be back later.
