Problems with Identity and Pronouns
February 18th, 2007This type of article really makes me angry. It’s titled, and reads, “We are the troops and we don’t support the escalation.” It should read, “I am a person who doesn’t support the escalation and a few people are with me.” He is not a We or a Them. He is just a man who might represent a family or two but no more.

Mitt Romney is catching flak, though not from me, for his identity: he doesn’t “know the Lord,” according to a Florida heckler. He can expect to hear that until next February when he drops out of the race. It’s sad that a candidate will be pounded for his religion but it’s the truth, and I can’t believe he didn’t understand that or care before he ran.
It probably has to do with ego and money. Everything is in electoral politics.
