So you tell me how you deal with a racist without pissing them off? How do we stop global warming without pissing people off? How do we deal with limits of growth and destroying the planet without pissing people off? We are not doing a very good job with our present approach. Obama is not doing a very good job because he doesn't want to piss anyone off. FDR and TR really pissed them off and look what they accomplished. As James Joyce said: It takes the fiercist sort of courage to face reality. People get pissed off when reality if forced on them. <<Of course not but assuming what's best for people because you think you know better is definitely the wrong way to approach the matter. And that's the complaint most cited by people who don't find liberalism attractive. That attitude is very much in display when evaluating Obama's performance. I would cut more slack for Bush than you all cut for Obama.......and I hated Bush even before he became president. This sense of superiority is not productive. I take on that air to irritate the wingers on FAMD but I am not trying to get anything from them. Thinking you know what's best for other people typically tends to alienate.
