    The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, has come under quite a bit of fire for the decision to run Barry Blitt's illustration of Barack and Michelle Obama.

    Our political disagreements over the direction of the country and who is best qualified to lead it in the right direction should never be used as a weapon to question our love for this country. In fact, the willingness to be intensely engaged in the struggle to being this nation closer to its ideals is the very mark of a patriot.
