The Yankee/ Red Sox rivalry may be the most intense in all of sports. Ok, you think your rivalry is greater, that is fine. But my Red Sox friends are welcome in my home anytime. We disagree on teams but respect each other. They may dislike A-Rod and Jeter, but we have fun with the rivalry.
So I ask, why can not the extreme Left and Right learn from this? Why can not the White House and Republican leaders learn from this?
What a concept. I am talking about respect. Both sides have GREAT ideas. That is right I said both sides, and I think it is important we have more than one sided opinions and suggestions.
Today, the extreme left and right believe they are right and will do anything to attack the other side. How is this productive? There is so much time spent digging up dirt on those who do not agree with them. Imagine if these people spent their time working with each other to come to a win-win solution.

Today our leaders have forgotten the art of compromise and that is too bad. No one is ALWAYS right or ALWAYS wrong. If our leaders would concentrate on working together we would not be in the crisis (turmoil) we are in now. The nations of the world now have a disdain for the United States. They see us fight each other… what a great offense for them. Without unity this great nation will not survive. So Democrats and Republicans work to find common ground and unite.
Let us resume the art of compromise. Let us not turn into a country of have and have not’s. Let us become a strong UNITED STATES again!

Much indeed to be regretted, party disputes are now carried to such a length, and truth is so enveloped in mist and false representation, that it is extremely difficult to know through what channel to seek it. This difficulty to one, who is of no party, and whose sole wish is to pursue with undeviating steps a path which would lead this country to respectability, wealth, and happiness, is exceedingly to be lamented. But such, for wise purposes, it is presumed, is the turbulence of human passions in party disputes, when victory more than truth is the palm contended for.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Timothy Pickering, Jul. 27, 1795
