Straight talking, perhaps emphatic, even hypebole-driven connections can be balancing, invigorating and insightful. I hope Barack keeps Wright as part of a transparent brain-trust and kitchen cabinet.
Politics today is so afraid of speaking something resembling the truth. Its largely pandering. Few want to be told that we have responsibilities, we have blames, we have burdens. America is not the great shining knight of righteousness that it could have been. It has goodness. And a lot of baggage, corruption, weak thinking and calloused hearts. I think Lincoln and Jefferson would weep at viewing today's America. Wright is a force, not alone, but one of many, together that can help steer us back to the highest form of the American Spirit. I hope Barack keeps the door open to Wright. If he doesn't, he is less different than Hill than I would like to believe. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Angela Mailander wrote: > > Louis, > I do not like the tone of the subject heading at all. > Seems awfully petty to me, seems like some folks are > trying to make you look bad for having admired the > wrong man.
