President Obama needs to read this. He's been preaching to the choir. And we've become a very small and fairly powerless part of the congregation.
If he does, and it changes his approach to one more conservatives understand, we who are more comfortable with ambiguity must be content to hold our tongues.
We must suppress our frustration with the (to our minds) unjustified certainties he will express.
We must not condemn him for pursuing clear visions of purpose with little or no apparent consideration for the alternatives.
I don't know if I can do it. It is so foreign to my nature.
But if we are to remain one country, I know I must try.
