They say the two things you can’t discuss are politics and religion, yet I believe we do both quite well here in our little space on the Al Gore Highway. But, at least in this post, I want to discuss some of the problems of political debates as it relates to some of the more well-known political commentators.
First, I believe political discussion is at its best when two people - who may have different views on a topic - can come together and openly debate and discuss their opinions and still be able to break bread together. I want to be able to have a debate with my friends who may have different views than me and still be able to talk about their lives, their families, and why the Cardinals need to build a hospital inside Busch Stadium.
Certainly, there are more important things in life than political discussion. However, some act as though political debates are a sport - a dirty sport at that. A game in which if you’re not getting in your political jabs you’re not being effective, or so they believe.
Enter into the discussion Ann Coulter.
