This morning’s Opinion Section of the New York Times included an article by Mark Penn entitled “American Voters Haven’t Been Afraid Like This in a Long Time.” Penn’s article referenced a speech President Jimmy Carter made to the nation on July 15, 1079; exactly three years after accepting the nomination of the Democratic Party to run for president. While not going into any detail about that speech, Penn provided the following link to a site containing the speech in its entirety:
Carter’s words from many years ago could’ve been written today and have been just as relevant. However, now we have the advantage of hindsight. I see how profitable it is to keep people steeped in drama and fear. How profitable it is to foster a culture of worship ( more drama). How addictive those behaviors are and how they lead to victim mentality.
