Ideology of Pragmatism?

Some dissenting views on the value of pragmatism.

P is for Pragmatism

Andrew Sullivan posted a comment that was posted on Daniel Larison's blog, which I am now posting. Amazing. The reader emphasizes Obama's pragmatism.

Some More Pragmatism

Yeah, I don't get it either. I don't understand why people continue to be surprised that Obama isn't making wild liberal proclamations and appointing "fresh faces" to his cabinet. He ran on a campaign of change. As in, a change from the "last eight years of failed Bush policies," as in a change from ideological incompetence to thoughtful, practical leadership. He's done that already, and will continue to do that. Not only is this NOT a sell out of his campaign ideals -- it's directly in line with his campaign and political message. If you don't know that, you weren't paying attention. (via Daily Dish)

Pragmatism!

See? Pragmatism!
