If you only take offense when the president of your party is compared to Hitler, then you're part of the problem.

One tell-tale sign of a Wingnut: they always confuse partisanship with patriotism.

I'm an independent. I'm a centrist. A new generation is arriving that has grown up with a multiplicity of choice in every aspect of their lives, and yet politics is the last place that they are told that they should be satisfied with a choice between brand A and brand B. It doesn't fit the way they think. It doesn't fit the way they live.

What might be good for ratings can be bad for the country. The hard-core partisans are self-segregating themselves into separate political realities. But the majority of Americans are starting to wake up to the game.

Right now, politics follows the rules of talk radio - using conflict, tension, fear, and resentment to find new recruits.

When people tap into this politics of resentment, it usually ends ugly.
