The Importance of a Certain Kind of Liberal Political Leadership

I think that pointing to the importance of a certain kind of liberal political leadership is important. The most serious abuses and most serious threats at this moment in America and much of the world do come from the political right, he says. I don't think that both sides are guilty in this regard but it's dangerous if those on the left or those in the sort of liberal center or liberal center left respond to this by seeking to emulate that sort of aggression or fanaticism or ruthlessness we object to on the other side. Trying to be firm in our commitment to certain liberal principles but also open-minded and open-minded to the idea that we may be wrong isn't an easy task.
