Paul Krugman's Dead On Point.

Sometimes (like these days we are living in now) being polite is just the wrong choice. Sometimes you got to make a stand. That's my set up, but here it the key point Krugman makes on the current partisan divide in America. The room for middle ground here is non existent.

"So let’s not be civil. Instead, let’s have a frank discussion of our differences. In particular, if Democrats believe that Republicans are talking cruel nonsense, they should say so — and take their case to the voters." Krugman on the Political Divide.
