Against polarization
On national defense, "the factions [parties] in Congress are not nearly far apart as their election-year ranting would leave [sic] you to believe." An interesting essay at NRO. Whatever happened to all that stuff about the Democrats wanting to cut-and-run, their victory being equivalent to a jihadist victory over America, Republican dominance being absolutely essential to national security, etc., etc., etc?
Whatever. Any sign that the country is overcoming its hysterical and histrionic right-vs.-left polarization is welcome.

Infidel, I'd like to think most of America is pretty level-headed, not leaning dangerously far in any one direction. Labels cause problems because of the few (looking at the big picture) extremists. We expect everyone under a different label than ours to be kooks just because of the real kooks, who, unfortunately, are the most outspoken and visible.
