		<description><![CDATA[“You know, John, there&#8217;s another school of thought.” I always loved that phrase, “another school of thought.” It seems less hostile, less likely to deteriorate into a conflict-driven debate. Especially, if the sentence comes from a close friend. It is even more poignant when the discussion is about religion. I grew up in a very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conservatives like to malign liberals as na&#239;ve adolescents, big spenders, pot-smoking pacifists, tree-huggers, moral relativists, Marxists, and worshipers of big government. They also like to think that liberals would rather write to a criminal in Attica than offer public sympathy to a rape victim. There you have it folks. We&#39;re the bad-guy liberals. We are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patriotic fervor takes many roads these days. Now there is a new highway entrance for the disgruntled and the angry in America. They are the new-and-allegedly-improved original tea-party patriots of America&#8217;s legendary Boston Tea Party. If there is a bonding message among the Tea Party followers, it is simply that they are not being heard [...]]]></description>
