Well, my FBI file grows. I’ve
written another president – not one I ever expected to. I followed Steve
Harrington’s link to the cartoon discussion and randomly (you’ve
noticed, it’s how my brain works, sighhhh…) a nearby link. There I
found this comment. So I simply asked the President to heed the words as they
will make a difference in the election:
We
hear much about civility in public life, and many colleges now insert civility
discussions into the curriculum. More and more, President Obama’s
speeches are worth studying as examples of incivility, of precisely what a
president should not do this far out from the election. Cheap and
puerile, they offer the guilty pleasures of raillery, a moment’s chuckle
and a lengthening contempt for people of different views. Such rhetoric
coming out of the president’s mouth poisons civic life, for every time he
throws a cynical and insulting characterization to the audience, he licenses
the blowhard talking head, the obnoxious columnist, and hordes of lesser
incumbent politicians in their own campaigns to do the same.
Your
