The four basic precepts of Michiganliberal.com, as defined by Matt: 1) The Democratic Party is the liberal political party of America. 2) The Republican Party of Michigan and the United States is currently controlled by a sinister coalition of amoral wealthy business interests and religious extremists. 3) If we are to have any chance at all at stopping the tide of neocon/theocon thuggery, we must take pride in and embrace our great liberal heritage. 4) A strong, bold, and united Democratic party is the only viable means to restoring human decency and honor to our state and national government. Further fragmentation of the left will only aid the radical right.
