Let's invite civility to the political party
2012
Overview
Governance should be noisy at times. We've come light years since Preston Brooks nearly beat Sen. Charles Sumner to death with a cane in the U.S. Senate chambers in 1856 for intemperate remarks. But with incivility has come disregard for the facts. Progress requires dialogue, meaning both civility and persuasion, that produces compromise. And it requires respect for one another and the truth. \"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts,\" the late U.S. Sen. In his later years, one-time House Speaker Thomas P. \"Tip\" O'Neill Jr. would lament the growing tensions between political parties. In his day, O'Neill would say, Democrats and Republicans would beat each other up during the day, then work out their differences over drinks at night.
