Steward’s ending speech can be summarized as in a few simple sentences. Americans do not live in a realm of pure politics. We live in a world of everyday life where we accommodate each other and get on be making little concessions. If we can throw off the distortion by caused by our political parties and their pundits, we can all live in harmony with honest disputes.
It was quite uplifting to see the number of people that got together for this rally, and Stewards statements made some sense. If we can build out politics from the common ground (provided by our cohabitation with one another) up, perhaps the political discourse will not divide us as deeply. Being calm and objective is a great tool to have on your side, for it exposes the demagogues and the bigots, which quite frankly, all come from the same side.
It’s hard being an American these days. I fear sanity will be short lived, because the divides have begun to reached the everyday life. If the Democrats win the presidency in o’12, there will be a chance of civil war. However, if the Republicans win, World War is almost guaranteed.
