What is the ultimate solution to the Liberal-Conservative divide?

Our country fought one Civil War. What is the ultimate soltution to the mounting divide between Liberals and Conservatives in this county? Rush talks about working until he converts over the last Liberal. How do you convert over people that aren't concerned about facts or politcal discourse? Are we headed to a complete political and social gridlock?

Well its a nice fantasy but it isn’t remotely realistic for the vast majority of Americans.

If you eliminate public schools you get millions of kids who don’t get any education at all. Also there are many millions pf parents I woundn’t trust to educate their kids because they can barely read themselves. Millions of families can’t afford private schools which will lead to federal programs to help them pay for it which will in turn lead to federal meddling in private schools.

Better to return public schools to local control, eliminate the federal money and guidelines in public schools and strip the teachers unions control of teaching away.

I responded to an uninformed attack. Can’t blame me for that.

Conservatism thrives with an informed public. The more informed people become the less liberal they are. Even people with no political affiliation or who are otherwise apolitical are inherently conservative. Conservative is the natural state of being. So our battle is to educate and inform the public as much as we can. We have made great progress with the alternate media, as evidenced by Hussein’s collapsing poll numbers, and we will continue to build on it.

There is none. We need to live and let live. But welcome to FR Senator McCain.

He could very well be a lib troll who has set up posting cred with his responses on other threads with the ultimate objective being to get 'radical' responses here so he can link to them on other leftwing sites. But for now I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

Geez, cut a guy some slack. Not everybody is a Troll.....
Libs just make the stuff up they want to print. Trolling for quotes would require some work.

Sam Adams (not the beer guy—a founding father) said Ignorance and Vice: Ignorance thru the schools and shut down of Opposing views (Fox, Rush, Levin) ........and vice-good thing we dont have any of that around..

‘Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which aught to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice - Samuel Adams - Oct 5 1772.

In hindsight, “Ultimate Solution” was a poor choice of words to pose this question. It does sound like it came from the Little Read Book. Sorry FRers.......

Thanks, the choice of the words “Ultimate Solution” was a big mistake. It does sound like it came from the Little Red Book. Early this morning it didn't really occur to me.
