Civility in Politics
Fellow Illinois blogger ILPundit writes on the perceived problem he/she has on the GOP’s claim to restore civility to politics. I could say the same on the Dem side with all the carping about flags after 9/11, or for that matter, the phrase “religious Right” which isn’t exactly meant as a descriptor but an insult. Or even this from the head of the Democratic party. But the fact is both sides are pretty petty and carp back and forth because in the end it makes the news. Intelligent discussion on both sides is lacking because most of the intelligent people don’t want to try discussing anymore (see Conservative Professors at U of I) because the “political discussion” tends to be populated more by kooks than anything else.
