I see no need to put this image on a cover of a magazine run by Democrats. It is disturbing that a group like this is trying to fearmonger with such terms as "Defeating Jihadism."



I am also a little skeptical of a few of the articles.
http://www.dlc.org/ndol_ci.cfm?kaid=132&subid=193&contentid=253862

Tony Blair is featured prominently with an article called, of all things..."Fighting for Values."
(I have had enough of Tony Blair's type of values.)

Joe Klein is featured prominently as is his new book bashing "liberals"...
POLITICS LOST: How American Democracy Was Trivialized By People Who Think You're Stupid"
(We hear at DU were disgusted overall by his book, they appear to be praising it.)

And to keep up with the Southern Baptists and their new emphssis on having more babies...there is an article about
BABY BUST
by Philip Longman
"Progressives aren't having as many babies as conservatives. Democrats should learn how to appeal to families."

Just my opinion, my reaction. The picture gave a negative impression right away, and few of the articles helped make it better. Not disagreeing on everything, just giving an opinion. I was disturbed to see the picture. It did not make me fearful of Jihadism, so-called. It made me angry that we were perpetuating such an idea.
