the face of Liberal activism

[Margaret]

This is a clip from a current post to another list by a
woman activist.  She's jewish, the child of immigrants
who were in the camps, lives in Louisiana, and during
the run-up to impeachment organised a small Liberal
campaign to support Clinton.  She seems to take a sort
of 'my {president | country}, right or wrong' approach.
She's asking everyone in her list to write Clinton and
congresscritters in support of sending ground troops.

"To those who are angered by my call for this,
understand that we just have differing opinions here.
But I cannot be thankful for the American troops who 
liberated the few survivors of my family (including my
mother), and then when the same atrocities occur again,
not ask the same for them. Milosevic is another Hitler,
albeit on a smaller scale. He is getting ready to try
to commit a coup in Montenegro, replacing the head
military people because the ones there before refused
to follow his orders."

She seems to get all her information from the
established news sources, to accept things that accord
with her views and reject things that don't (which
isn't to say that we all don't do that at least
somewhat, but my impression is that she's rather less
skeptical than many)

She is probably representative of The Woman In The (US)
Street, if a bit more goal-oriented than most.
