I haven’t had much to say lately on politics due to being shoulder-deep in other matters, but a Cato Institute column by David Boaz did pique my interest:

The country is polarized, we’re told. Bush-haters versus Clinton-haters. Mel Gibson versus Michael Moore. Red states versus blue states. Liberals and conservatives read different books, watch different networks, go to different churches.

But liberals and conservatives have more in common than you might think.

Whether you lean left or right (and might disagree with a paragraph or two), the column is worth reading.
