Getting under my skin

I love reading Wil Wheaton's blog until it comes to politics. He is one of my favorite bloggers. He is witty and smart and a talented writer.

He is also one of the Hollywood lefties who seems so incredulous that some people might not agree with him and insinuates that me and others like me resemble the missing link because of our beliefs.

From Wil:
"Apparently, my country holds a fundamentally different set of values than I thought we did, and that scares the shit out of me. I still believe that Bush is bad for America, and though I'm virtually certain that the next four years will be an absolute disaster. Not just because we have gotten four more years of the Bush agenda, but because this election has been an enthusiastic endorsement of that agenda."

Ok, what agenda would that be? Allowing parents to have vouchers and pick which school they'd like to send their child to? Giving me back the hard-earned tax dollars I paid to the government? Government funding for faith-based initiatives to help the needy instead of food stamps or AFDC? The war on terror and taking that war to where the fucking terrorists live (i.e. Middle East) or waiting for the pig-fuckers to come to us? Banning partial birth abortions?

I could go down a laundry list of why I voted for Bush, but the thing is, it won't change too many people's opinions if they are dyed in the wool lefties. I may think people like Wil are misguided, but I won't infer that he is stupid or doesn't understand what is at stake. I'm sure he and others like him have an understanding of the issues and they just have a different opinion than I do. To quote Wil, that scares the shit out of me, too.
