If Bush had understood that his central task was to forge national
unity, as he seemed to shortly after Sept. 11, the country would never
have become so polarized.

The country will always be polarized about the use of force. There are
hawks and doves...and they'll never see eye to eye.

The country will always be polarized about taxes. There are Keynesians and
Monetarists...and they'll never see eye to eye.

The country will always be polarized about conservativism vs.
liberalism...and they certainly will never see eye to eye.

The best we can hope for is the death of the Democratic party via the
deportation or assimilation of all its members.
