I am getting caught up on the news from the US, and the machinations of the right-wing cabal that drags down our politics and policies. All I can say is that "traditionalists" are always fearful of change: the advent of fire, democracy, the automobile, civil rights, and now national health care. I am not being patronizing. They can´t help it, it is the way their brains function. Change is simply scary to them.
But America can´t be held hostage to fear. Progressive forces must acknowledge the fears of our challenged brothers and sisters AND keep moving ahead and making society a better and more just place. In the end, love reigns supreme because that´s who we really are. And Obama knows that.
