This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

The problem is that the Democrats drove around with too many “Wouldn’t it be nice if schools had all the money they needed and the Air Force had to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber?” bumper stickers for too long to be credible proponents of a strong defense. People can change, parties can change, but it takes a while to convince people that the change is real.

Hmmmmm. I would say that those folks represented a very small subset of Democrats.
But, yes, it does take a long time to for people to believe that change is real.
Especially when coals of lies are thrown on the fires of fear.
But, frankly, this has little to do with the currrent Federal Administration’s failed stewardship of the nation’s military.

OK, but to call them a very small subset would require a certain amount of denial, I would think. They were (and probably still are) a substantial and influential percentage of the party.
In a certain sense, it will take a generation for the Democrats to free themselves of the accomodationist image they have. In the eyes of many grass roots center-right baby boomers, they are the anti-any-war party just as much as they are the tax-and-spend party. And demographically, that’s a big bubble of votes that won’t go away for another twenty years.
