I like this article. It points out how far we have left to go to be a proper member of the world, and how we finally got the right guy in charge to help us get there.
World leaders don't get us. In his speech to the Congressional Black Caucus, the President tells of some unnamed foreign leader who told him:
'We don't understand it. You're trying to make sure everybody has health care and they're putting a Hitler mustache on you. That doesn't make sense to me."
We've got a guy trying to do the right thing, and the conservatives are demonizing him for it. It is awful, but I suppose if you need a thermometer to see if you are actually doing good works (instead of just posturing that God is behind your: bombing brown people, raping nature, condoning child sex abuse and/or marital infidelity, stealing from the poor and taking lobbyist money for it, etc.) is how pissed the Republicans are at you. If they are chanting in the streets and packing assault rifles, you're probably on the side of the angels.
