For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: improving the level of political discourse between liberals and conservatives.

Does the bickering between left and right leaning members in our message boards and forums bother you? Do you yearn for a more civil discourse where liberals and conservatives debated issues without the seemingly requisite venomous attacks? Or, is that part of the entertainment at a political website?

Can there actually be a forum for people on both sides of the aisle to engage with one another politely and respectfully whilst exchanging ideas about current events and the state of the nation? Or is this just a pipe dream for those tired of the caustic level of political discourse in this country?

Your thoughts, hopefully civil, are appreciated.
