Great political and social change in this country is greeted with suspicion, distrust, and often, downright hatred. The New Deal was a communist plot, Civil Rights legislation was socialist, Martin Luther King was an enemy of the state. Geoff Nunberg's commentary today on NPR's Fresh Air confirms what I have often thought about the current state of political discourse in this country.
Call it what you want but progress is coming regardless of what our reactionary friends on the right want us to believe.
