“There is nothing to take a man's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.” “Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel.” “The essential characteristic of socialism is the denial of individual property rights.” “When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - you may know that your society is doomed.” Ayn Rand

It is night and day. I think everyone sees the same problems, but the approach to solving them are completely different. There's too much daylight between the parties and not enough common ground. Part of the reason is that the parties are so focused on driving a wedge between each other. Identity Politics, Social Justice Warriors, White Male bashing, and Snowflake Victim Mentality doesn't help either, as those things are all just fuel for the fires of hatred and revenge, rather than reconciliation and progress. E Pluribus Unum was intended to inspire us to seek common ground, not to divide and conquer through identity triangulation, victimization, and exploitation of passions to inflame one against another.

I spent an hour watching Hardball on MSNBC the night before last. And last night I spent an hour watching Shannon Bream's news show on FOX. There was no comparison. Chris Matthews was emotional, factless and almost unhinged throughout his Hardball Show. Shannon Bream was professional, inquiring and focused on facts throughout hers. FOX is so much better in every way.
