But watching that interview just made me so proud of... my boy.  Look at me... I'm getting all vek-lempt (Mike Myers?  Too long ago?  Am I getting too old?)

So that being said, loved the interview.  Snuggled into this jem of an interview was a powerful argument to the obstructionist attack:  the immorality of NOT standing up to and abstructing a destructive, immoral agenda.

He also put in there the other argument that should be standard party line among the true believers.  That Democrats and progressive stand up for the core Christian value, which are also the universal values of compassion for the poor and helping others.

From a government, these values are enacted by things like social security, living minimum wages, education and health care access, as well as international issues like AIDS in Africa.  (Of course, Dean didn't add all this spceific stuff)

So on a real level, the Democratic party is really the only thing working to save America's soul on these kinds of issues, where the TV culture in particular is going very much toward the everyone-for-themself view of things.

Christians in particular should think about what kind of society the Republicans are advocating.  It is a cold, heartless profit-seeking Beast.

Of course, this is some interpretation of the speech.  If you missed it, you should read it...
