An article on a major media newspaper site hits on this subject which may be painful to some ears, but is right on the mark. We here, in the main, polarized activists to a greater and lesser degree representing BOTH sides rarely agree. That is as it should be, because there is fault on BOTH sides. Always has been, always will be. WE ALL need to be forthright enough to acknowledge that very reality. At the same time and for those same reasons and more...opposing views, clearly defined, are necessary to keep the hull balance needed for this Ship of State to proceed through safely on her full journey.
The article starts...
"[Bipartisanship may be the single most destructive force in Washington. Today, it is on the lips of the president, congressional leaders and commentators alike. They say we need a new tone in Washington. We need to work together on health care reform. We need a bipartisan commission to solve our deficit problem.
No. We. Don't. Bipartisanship saps faith in politics and government. It protects the most stupid and counterproductive federal policies. It erodes ethics. It unites America's ruling class against the ruled. And, inevitably, it leads to the growth of government power.
