Matt Welch on how most of us on the political spectrum have more in common than those trying to drag us apart would have us believe — and how there’s no time like the present to act that way.
We’ve clung to stupid and largely irrelevant political caricatures in this country for way too long. Why not take this opportunity to discard them? Put away your Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson voodoo dolls, brothers and sisters! Let Barbra Streisand and Chuck Heston duke it out unobserved in the Malibu highlands! Let’s argue vehemently, on the merits, about goals, tactics and politics, but leave the broad brushes and 1950s battle scars at home!
Sing it, brother!
