One of the things today is the media always tries to pigeon hole people into categories when in fact it is impossible I think to do that. The term left or right or conservative or liberal. Most people are part of everything, it is all based on the issue at hand. We can all agree that the government has wasted a ton of money (conservative and liberal alike) we all can agree that the Iraq war had questionable motives for our initial involvement etc ... that list goes on and on. Each person may have a different view on how to fix it, and that is the area were logical and respectful debate should take place. As Kendall says over and over again, "I ain't learned nothing from people who always agree with me" .. however today it is a shouting match and it carries over to our elected official who should be setting the example. Difficult times call for smart minds and clear thinkers from all walks of life to help determine the cause and the cure. That is why shows that peddle division are not American I think.
