Preaching to the Choir

Roger L. Simon h/t Ed Driscoll, Instapundit

quote:
The tragedy of democracy in our times is that this may no longer be possible. People do not want to be disturbed by opposing views. They don’t even want to think about them. Too much — life, careers, family, friends — is at stake. Why upend it for anything so mundane as the future of our country?

Yeah, I wondered in a previous post about how to reach people who don't understand, or in some cases, don't even want to.

Lying is bad.  Being inaccurate isn't necessarily lying though.  Truth can be a slippery thing.  Someone can make an honest mistake, or just be wrong about something.  But in politics, it is just about impossible for people to be honest, especially about their mistakes.

You can do your best to be sincere.  That sincerity may get through.  That may be the only thing that gets through.   But it can't hurt.  (crossing my fingers)
