Both sides should read.... The downgrade of decency

In 2011 the S&P downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time. In their explanation, they said “political brinkmanship”

The slow decline of civility that I started noticing years ago has now morphed into a troubling and outright ugly picture of the world we now live in. Today, if someone happens to have a world view that differs from our own we don’t see a civil discussion of ideas and solutions. What we see are people screaming obscenities, threatening people’s lives, throwing rocks at cops, destroying businesses, and lighting cars on fire.

Some may argue that makes for good TV or good fundraising, but it doesn’t make for good people. I’m having flashbacks to high school. You know, kind of like the fist fight that broke out in the hall because Jimmy got the girl and Johnny didn’t. So breaking Jimmy’s nose in between periods makes it all better. You used to get suspended for that. Now we applaud it. What, if instead of emulating a toddler in the throes of a meltdown because they didn’t get a cookie, we channeled our emotions in a constructive manner and went out and worked for the change we want see.

You have to get rid of the "game" mindset most have towards politics, where winning is more important than what comes after.

All that just to say "Can't we all just get along"?

Well, there is only one political party in the USA right now fomenting violent riots, destruction of private property and physical assault and battery.
The would be our very own Democratic Party -- the party of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Bernie Sanders, Al Sharpton and Fauxcahontas.
All paid for by a foreign enemy of the USA named George Soros, and completely exonerated by the Ministry of Propaganda of the Dem Party -- the US Fourth Estate.

Very good. Now give us an example of how we're supposed to act.

You do understand this what is taught to children in regards to life, right? It starts at the foundation of our society. People would rather be a YouTube star who makes millions,and plays video games all day.
Hard work and getting dirty with integrity is looked down upon unless you're a professional athlete.

The problem is the left isn't just another party that can be reasoned with. They are (and have been since the 1960's) an insurrection hell bent on destroying the country. They do not need to be reasoned with, they need to be destroyed.

Yep, in sharp contrast we did not see this kind of insurrection when Obama won 2 terms in spite of his highly questionable background and policies.

You're wrong. One side should read.

And along come the politards to blame the Democrats 100%.

Obama did this.
It is going to be very very difficult to ever go back to any old measure of civility or decorum.
I suspect it will only get worse until something pops.
I also feel certain that was the intention of Soros and Obama and some others almost from the get go somewhere around the summer of 2007.

Michael Moore to Obama: ‘Show some guts,’ arrest S&P head

“Pres Obama, show some guts & arrest the CEO of Standard & Poors. These criminals brought down the economy in 2008& now they will do it again,” Mr. Moore wrote.
Yeah! Big 3 didn't give everyone "triple-A" ratings, and that is what brought down the economy. CRIMINALS!!!
quote:
He went on to link approvingly to an article last week in the Guardian, a left-wing British newspaper, about a police raid in Milan against the offices of S&P and fellow ratings agency Moody’s. Italian police were searching for evidence on whether the rating agencies, in the words of a local prosecutor, “respect regulations as they carry out their work”.
“Here’s how they roll in Italy when it comes to these bastards,” Mr. Moore cheered.

That occurred when the Republicans continued to play games with our credit and our budget.
