Now is the time to stretch

Maxspeaks well! Here is a small highlight, but I urge you to read it all. As he says, now is the time to stretch!

"The potential of a ‘radical’ candidate is not to run against Bush or the pragmatic candidates. It is to run against the zeitgeist. The fact is that conventional wisdom changes. We can see it changing now with respect to the Iraq war. A progressive candidate has the vision to stick to principles he or she knows to be right, confident that events will carry opinion towards those conclusions. A progressive candidacy can radicalize the public by speaking truth to power, by advancing positions that are right on the merits but unpopular at the moment."
Thanks to Al-Muhajabah for the heads up! posted by Cyndy | link | | |
