This is why partisanship is bad.

Listen to Mr. Stewart and learn something you partisans. You know who you are.

Sterwart is at the bottom of the page. The preceding text is worth reading as well.

It's sad, and it's only gotten worse. So much worse...

Thanks for posting the link. It was literally the least you could do.

It's funny. You're clearly motivated and all fired up about this, but all you do is provide a link to the work of others. Do you have any insight of your own? What do you think of the opinions in the article?

The terms right and left are appropriate because both lead only into ever decreasing circles when the best path lies between. The worst thing that happened to politic in my memory was turning what used to be called 'the art of the possible' into a fight to the death.

That thinking serves only the victor, not the nation or the people.

I think that the partisans destroy the debate on political issues. They are morons and hurt us all.

There are you happy now?

That was hilarious, very old obviously and I'm sure many of us have seen it before.

I think Frum did the right thing, what NPR does is have 2-3 very liberal guests (like Reich) and one center right guest (like Frum or Juan Williams) and they think they've struck balance in a center right country. There is a show called Left Right and center that I call Left Left and Center..... you get the idea.

partinsanship is bad because they never stop jockeying for position. its also leads to politicians taking inflexible positions as if any compromise would lead to another hitler.
