This is the type of blogger I can understand. Not just because Michelle is a liberal (and I happen to be, too), but well-worded, strongly-spoken, and well-informed people tend to author good reading.
I appreciate, very much, the citing of references to back up an opinion or factual statements. This is not an issue when reading michelleisliberandwhy. In fact, the last two words of her blog title is: AND WHY. I think it is actually somewhat ironic that her blog incorporates one of the most important aspects in generating credibility. Backing up your position with facts is crucial. So many outspoken and overly critical political talking-heads, Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh to name two, spout off wild, agenda-driven lies without any factual basis just so that their ignorant Republican supporters will begin to believe one way even if these fabrications are entirely proven to be lies later. I'm willing to bet my entire life savings that if Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh were to begin telling their right-wing nutjob followers that President Obama started the Iraq war, that after hearing it enough times Republicans would start to believe them. (I also find it interesting that the cities in the United States that have the highest number of colleges and universities and large portions of their population with Bachelor's degrees or higher tend to be Democratic)
Nonetheless, as a liberal who backs up her facts and writes very readable material, michelleisliberalandwhy is my kind of blog.
