The 'Faith' of the coming Culture Wars

I found this great piece (and site)
http://www.philipvickersfithian.com/2012/02/culture-wars-are-real.html

In it he asks -

'How can democracy flourish without civility, respect for those with whom we differ, and a sense of mutual understanding'?

And that is and will be the bottom line if you will.

Respect for those with whom we differ.

We are a diverse Nation of people. It is not MY Country - it is OUR Country.

And this is why we are failing.
