Security Moms and Eowyn Voters

I'm sure you've heard about Security Moms, women who are concerned about the security and defense of this country. These are women who see this issue as being their main concern when deciding who to vote for in November.

I have to admit I've felt a little left out of the whole Security Mom thing. While I am in complete agreement with the concern for defense issues, I'm not yet a mother. Well, via Jen Speaks, I found another description that would include people like me -- Eowyn Voters:

You mess with me and the people I love -- I take offense to that. You stand aside and let other people mess with me and the people I love -- I take offense to that too. I'm not a fan of war, I have no great desire to be a warblogger, but it is because I long for peace, true peace, that I choose to fight the war that is upon us. I choose to fight by blogging, I choose to fight by voting, and if I ever find myself in a situation where I have to physically fight for my life or for those around me, I will choose that as well.

So, consider me an Eowyn Voter, too. In fact, I'm going to slap one of these handy banners on the sidebar.
