Democrats are starting to say, in large numbers, what I started to say back in 2004 when I started blogging:
The Democratic Party left me. I did not leave the Democratic Party.
From Punditarian at the Astute Bloggers:
A Newsweek exclusive:
John Coale, a prominent Washington lawyer, husband of Fox TV host Greta Van Susteren and a supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, announced today that he was supporting John McCain for president.
Coale, who traveled with Sen. Clinton, President Clinton and her family through out the primary season, complained of sexism, and said the Democratic Party is "being taken over by the moveon.org types" in an exclusive interview with Newsweek.com's Tammy Haddad.
More than a few mainstream Democrats are going to do the same, and if the "moveon.org types" remain in control, the shift might be permanent.
It certainly seems to have become all but permanent for me.

After hearing the speaker-Marshall Foster- Mayflower Institute---and learning that I had been lied too about the true history of this great country- via my education
- I made the switch in the early '80s. :-)
A re-read or the FIRST read of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution (can be found at >founding bloggers< site-upper bar)is a good start for all.
Have a great Labor Day!

Home for female vets to open at VA Center
Apartment-style housing will be unveiled Wednesday.

DAYTON — It once provided housing, medical treatment and other
services for hundreds of disabled Civil War veterans.
But soon Building 402 — one of the first buildings constructed at the
Dayton Veterans Affairs Medical Center campus — will become a new home
for homeless female veterans.
The renovated Ohio Avenue Commons — apartment-style housing with 27
units to be unveiled Wednesday, Sept. 3 — is being touted as the
nation's first supportive housing initiative open to homeless female
veterans.
The program will be run by Miami Valley Housing Opportunities (MVHO)
and give the participants access to medical services, day care, job
training, and chemical dependency counseling.
There are reportedly 7,000 homeless female veterans in the United
States, with half of them suffering from chemical dependency and 33
percent from mental illness.
"Since the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, we have seen an
increased need for veteran housing and services," said Natalie Harris,
executive director of MVHO.
"We realize this need and are working with other area organizations to
provide veterans a place to call home, proper medical attention and
educational programs to help them thrive independently," Harris said.
The Other Place, a daytime homeless shelter, will provide educational
workshop programs and job training to help the women re-enter society.
The $4 million project was funded with $1.9 million in low-income tax
credits, $1.1 million in U.S. Department Housing and Urban Development
HOME program funds, $800,000 in Historic Tax Credits, and $200,000 in
local financing.
MVHO is currently accepting applications for the program, which is
geared toward homeless women but with a preference toward veterans.
For more information, call MVHO at (937) 263-4449.
The agency also operates a nearby supportive housing program at the
4100 W. Third St. VA campus known as Iowa Avenue, where 34 formerly
homeless men, many of them veterans, reside.
