Jerry Davich asks a question

One of the region's favorite columnists, Jerry Davich from the Post Tribune, asks a key question in his column today: Are we more divided than ever? More than the 60's? Are we at war ... with ourselves?

In that he quotes me at the end of the article, I am happy to return the favor and ask that you read his column and comment here or there. Do you think we are more divided than ever as a nation?

My thoughts that he quoted:

This is the upside to the polarization process. At least people are sharing a dialogue, albeit one that is too often based on rumors and fiction, not research and facts.

"I think Americans are actually finding some common ground right now," said Steve Dalton, a Valparaiso businessman who writes a daily Porter County Politics blog.

"We need some new terms though. Americans don't want lefty liberalism and political correctness anymore than they want mean-spirited conservatism and big brother."
