A mean-spirited politic.

My wish. Take the politic out of politics.  Of course, that won’t happen. Because politics are supposed to be political. Maybe what I mean to say is, let’s take the mean-spirit out of politics. That would bring fresh air and camaraderie into the political arena. Imagine. Politicians being  nice to each other. Even when they disagree.   Too often, the majority rules at the expense of the minority. I tend to advocate give and take. Rather than foisting my way on others. Compromise isn’t a dirty word.  Yes, a solution to a political problem in which both (all) sides get something.  Ideologues tend to want everything. Their way, period. And they can be ruthless. Totally mean-spirited. In achieving their ends. That’s what we have in America today.  A mean-spirited politic. –Jim Broede
