I glanced over a newspaper headline this morning that said Americans are more polarized as Democrats and Republicans than they ever were.

[qb]Perfect! Now the Bush Administration has an excuse to sit on all intelligence data for reasons of "national security".

Is it just me, or someone else also thinks that the word "soil" doesn't go together with the concept of patriotism? It just kinda sounds dirty and doesn't resonate well with the word "our". It associates to me with "Someth' to drink?" as opposed to "Would you care for a beverage?".
You mean you don't like the word 'soil' because its too close to 'soiled'? Or something deeper?

Besides it was a joke, I mean Bush wouldn't actually try and stop Congress from making informed decisions would he?
No(shakes head). Never in a month of Sundays.

Bush wouldn't know an informed decision if it came out and hit him in the face.

Can you say "Watergate"?
It's exactly the same, except the current function of the people involved and their party affiliation.

Are you suggesting the Civil War broke out over party lines, not geographical ones?

North vs South in 1860.
Urban vs. Rural in 2003.
Look where Gore got his votes and where Bush got his votes.

"Related" somehow, sure. Is it a clear and decisive divider? One word answer: Florida.

Unfortunately, this this increased tolerance among the Right has been more than offset by sharp decreases in tolerance by the left (e.g. sharply decreased tolerance for guns and self-defense, for smoking, intolerance for criticisms of sexual immorality and perversion, and even intolerance for public displays of Christianity). The Left hates the Right because conservatives' retreat with respect to policy positions has been gradually slowing since 1980 -- to the point that a gradual, peaceful evolution towards socialism can no longer be taken for granted.

Explain to me why you think that parties were more divided along geographic borders in 1860 than they were in 2000.
But isn't it irrelevant? Since the parties were aligned North vs. South and that alignment led to the Civil War then wouldn't you say that the parties were more polarized in 1860?
