We are unable to rationally discuss major issues (e.g. Health Care, Global Warming, Outsourcing, Tax Policies, Immigration, etc.) without labelling the opponents as "Socialists", "Fascists", "Radical Right", "Ungodly", etc.
Labels avoid discussion. When did we loose the ability to rationally discuss issues? We need to work together as a society without the rhetoric and anger that currently exists. Republicans do support business, believing that is good for America. Democrats do support social change, believing that is good for America. We need to avoid labels-anger-character assisination and work together to solve our problems, not fragment ourselves into angry camps that are unable to try to solve the problems that confront us. Who agrees?
