America Divided? Of course, division is healthy

Much handwringing is made of the fact that America is a nation divided. I answer this concern by saying “Yeah? So what?”

    You’re not being fair! You’re only presenting one side! You’re biased!

    This makes lots of sense:

    “So to my political opponents, I say this. You are not my enemy, but you are my opponent and I will work to defeat you because my conservative ideas and solutions are better than your liberal ones.”

    This, not so much:

    “Instead, one can look at George W. Bush and see how someone should govern. ”

    I didn’t read all that stuff in the middle. Too long.

    Okay, I just read the rest of it, and I have no changes to make in my comments. Carry on, Tyger.

    It is the corrupt, archaic two-party system–and the multi-biased media which supports it–that has divided Americans. If we had no political parties, as George Washington highly recommended, we would find that Americans are surprisingly united on a wide range of issues.
