I have to say that I admire the authors ideals. To simply conduct civil discourse must be possible. I'm sure the teabaggers do so among themselves just as those who are not do. The way may be to speak as though you are talking to someone similar to yourself (even if it is not the case). To assume that those who rally to the opposite flag that you do are not people with feelings, families and intelligence, is enabling the division of "we the people".
We must embrace our differences (which is so very against human nature) and strip back the names and insults to bare the truth which is: We all want the same things like security, opportunity, and community. We all want America to turn out the best students, innovations and to dominate commerce. It's just that the potential means to achieve these things are the cause of argument.
If we could agree on the GOALS, discussion on the means could hopefully proceed civilly.
