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.
