This begs the questions:
1. What things do you feel are important?
2. How are they getting some attention? How does this differ from the past?
3. How is that attention constructive to the things you feel are important?
Just curious.
1. a) Healthcare reform, b) positive foreign policy, c) 'moral values' issues, to list the first three that pop into my mind.
2. a) The current healthcare reform debate, b) a less confrontational foreign policy based on the liberal and constructivist ideal and less on the realist idea c) less focus on them
3. a) I would rather see a publically funded health care system and this legislation moves in that direction, b) I see current international politics as being based more on results and less on cold-war dogma, c) I appreciate that we have better things to do than have the government making laws about sex
Yes. Not everyone here is a conservative Republican or Libertarian.
I am excited about the fact that things I feel are important are finally getting some attention in a constructive way!
The implication being that Obama's political goals are good for those of his political persuasion, not so much for others.
Shouldn't statesmen be working for the good of all; not just helping one set of interest groups at the expense of others? Why not just do the right thing?
Actually, the implication is that Obama's political goals will be better for America, which is what I wrote. Why would I want to harm you? You think your 'conservative' agenda helps the country, I think my 'liberal' agenda helps the country. That is the essence of honest political disagreement isn't it? Why would I think his agenda does not help you? We live in the same country!
Flame on! :)
