Possible Reasons why they Criticize Obama
From dKosopedia
Criticizing ones leader is a right in the United States and other true democracies. Despite this we need to ask ourselves why there is so much criticism of the new president especially from those who we expect to be on his side. The Unites States is a large and disparate country. Inevitably those who agree with one political faction will disagree with others. That applies even among the various Liberal factions. There can be other, less acceptable reasons for criticism as well.
Prejudice
Avoiding racial prejudice is more difficult than it looks. A tendency to develop bad feelings against outsiders is probably hard wired into human brains. As Liberals we try and let this bad feeling happen only against those who merit it like Fred Phelps and George W. Bush. A president should not be above criticism. That would be bad for democracy. Also a new president can learn from constructive criticism.
- Some people are consciously prejudiced against other races and do not care.
- Other people do not know that they are prejudiced.
- Yet others try to fight prejudice within themselves.
- A few are not racially prejudiced at all. Such people are probably prejudiced against different types of outsiders.
The links in this article need to be monitored carefully. We need to apply the Scientific method continuously. We need to ask ourselves continually, “Is this criticism valid? Is there an element of prejudice there?’ Proxima Centauri 09:29, 4 February 2009 (EST)
Are all the authors liberals?
There are Deep Cover Liberals and those who wrote some of the articles below may be Deep Cover Conservatives.
- "thanks to TV and for the convenience of TV, you can only be one of two kinds of human beings, either a liberal or a conservative." - Kurt Vonnegut, "Cold Turkey", In These Times, May 10, 2004. We mustn't let any prejudice in favor of Obama limit dkosopedia from being a wiki for all critical Democrats and uncritical Democrats alike.--Darrelljon 15:58, 4 February 2009 (EST)
