Tribute to Pfc. Joseph Dwyer
I support our troops by thinking about them daily and praying for them. I pray for their safe return but then remember that even though they make it home, they may still be at war. When I think about the soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan who manage to return home but are forever damaged by the experience I think about Private Joseph Dwyer. You might have seen his picture which was taken by an Army Times photographer and picked up by the Associated Press and appeared in newspapers across the country. The photo showed Private Dwyer an Army medic, carrying a wounded Iraqi boy, who is half naked and looks terrified. Private Dwyer looks calm and determined and seemed to exemplify all the hope that Americans had at the beginning of the Iraqi invasion.

GOP Loyalty Shrinks in Middle America
The Vanishing Republican Voter By DAVID FRUM I LIVE IN WASHINGTON, in a neighborhood that is home to lawyers, political consultants, television personalities and the chief executive of the TIAA-CREF pension fund. Not exactly an abode of the superrich, but the kind of neighborhood where almost nobody does her own yardwork or vacuums his own floor. Children’s birthday parties feature rented moon bounces or hired magicians. The local grocery stores offer elegant precooked dinners of salmon, duck and artichoke ravioli. Four miles to the southeast there stretches a different Washington. More than one-third of the people live in poverty. Close to half the young children are overweight. Fewer than half the adults work. The rate of violent crime is more than 10 times that of the leafy streets of my neighborhood. Measured by money income, Washington qualifies as one the most unequal cities in the United States. Yet these two very different halves of a single city do share at least one thing. They vote the same way: Democratic. And in this, we are not alone. As a general rule, the more unequal a place is, the more Democratic; the more equal, the more Republican. The gap between rich and poor in Washington is nearly twice as great as in strongly Republican Charlotte, N.C.; and more than twice as great as in Republican-leaning Phoenix, Fort Worth, Indianapolis and Anaheim.
