I asked them to stop being republican towards their democratic or liberal opponents. It is the habit of \u201cOwn the libs,\u201d and it is a habit, in the context of the culture wars in America, through which the Republican wants to spite the liberal and upset him. I asked all of them if any of them had used \u201cOwn the Libs\u201d in their online writings, and she added:<br \/>\n\u201cI know that it\u2019s fun and that it can feel good, but step back and think about what you\u2019re accomplishing when you do this \u2014 are you persuading anyone? Who are you persuading? Haley impressed the audience. \u201cWe\u2019ve all been guilty of it at some point or another, but this kind of speech isn\u2019t leadership; it\u2019s the exact opposite.\u201d She added: \u201cReal leadership is about persuasion; It\u2019s about movement, it\u2019s bringing people around to your point of view \u2014 not by shouting them down, but by showing them how it is in their best interest to see things the way you do.\u201d<br \/>\nDid Haley&#8217;s Indian-Gandhian origins get the better of her in that graceful speech? I previously asked the question about Ralph Nader, who \u201cinvented\u201d the culture of consumer protection in America: I asked whether he, a Lebanese who was raised by traditional Christian parents, was overcome by the example of the Eastern culture of compassion?<br \/>\nCulture &#8220;intrigue&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abdullah Ali Ibrahim I stopped at an incident in which Nikki Haley, Trump&#8217;s rival for the presidential nomination for the Republican Party, addressed young people from her party about the civility of political activism, which brought me back to our days as young people in the Communist Party.
