Social Justice Reality?

Over at Matt Y.'s place they are arguing that Bush has no social justice program in the works.

I give this counter argument

Social justice writ large:

What is the Reality Based Community's answer to dictatorship? The faith based people think you get rid of them quickest by war. Have the reality people shown better results? Women got the vote in Afghanistan. Sufferage used to be a liberal value.

You are also forgetting the new Bush initiative "The Opportunity Society". That is social justice by different means than the Reality People would use. It is not an absence of social justice.

You guys are getting strategically blind sided.

I was astounded to learn that 50% of the bottom 20% in America own houses. This is astounding.

I think Bush's idea of social justice is to turn all Americans into property owners. How do you counter that?

I have been a liberal since birth. I have not changed my ideals. I have changed my methods.

You are going to have to deal with reality. Social programs and socialized anything are not very attractive to gun toting property owners.

The more people who own property the fewer who want high taxes. In a way we are reverting to the Jeffersonian ideal. A land of small property owners.

Your philosophy is blinding you to reality.

It will make your opposition inneffective.

Capitalism
Despotism

Right now the "Reality" people have no counter argument. Religiosity is not the fundamental driver, effectiveness is.
