Douthat wins again

Ross Douthat continues his fantastic thinking and writing for the New York Times with this article. His main gripe with republicans and democrats alike in our country is their unwillingness to think differently. He ends his column with this, "Why should being pro-environment preclude being pro-life? Why can’t Republicans worry about economic inequality, and Democrats consider devolving more power to localities and states? Does opposing the Iraq war mean that you have to endorse an anything-goes approach to bioethics? Does supporting free trade require supporting the death penalty?These questions, and many others like them, are the kind that a healthy political system would allow voters and politicians to explore."
