Yes, our national discourse is loaded with speakers who cannot move beyond name calling to rational, evidence-based political argument--much more so than on our message board, I'd say.
A few more "smarmy faux intellectual nitpickers" might help right the ship. But they can't do it alone.
In Washington as well as here, that requires that citizens as a body commit to turning public discourse back to pre-Gingrich standards.
--a return to civility and to accountability for truth claims.
