We need to define what we're for
The March 21 issue of The New Yorker (I know, I'm trying to catch up) has a good article called Jesus in the Classroom.Rather than commenting on or summarizing the article, I wanted to quote one sentence:
Not the least, the A.D.F. [Alliance Defense Fund - an alliance of conservative mega-ministries] runs a national media department, which is adept at exploiting the fact that the secular left is increasingly defined, in the minds of many, not by what it for, but by what it is supposedly against - Christmas, the Boy Scouts, The Pledge of Allegiance, and traditional marriage.What are liberals for? Aside from things like peace on earth, which is hard to be against. What things are we for - that conservatives are against - that would strike a chord in the hearts of a majority of voters? This whole question goes back to the idea of framing our message.
