Our Divided Politics Heart would be the must-listen e book of the 2012 election marketing campaign. Offering an incisive evaluation of how hyper-individualism is poisoning the country's politics atmosphere, E. J. Dionne Jr. argues that Americans can't acknowledge who our company is because we can't acknowledge who we have been, or what it is, philosophically and spiritually, that makes us Americans. Dionne assumes the Tea Party's distortions of American background and implies that the true American tradition points never to radical individualism, but to a balance between our love of individualism and our devotion to community. Dionne offers both a fascinating head to of American background - from the Founding Fathers to Clay and Lincoln and on to the Populists, the Progressives, and the New Sellers - and also an evaluation of our own current politics that shatters standard wisdom. The true American idea, far from endorsing federal inaction or indifference, has always seen the government as a dynamic and constructive partner with the rest of society to advertise success, opportunity, and American greatness. The ability of the American system to self-correct is its best property, and Dionne troubles progressives to accept the American tale. Our fractious but effective history offers us the resources both to rediscover the idea of progress and to end our doubts of drop. Our Divided Politics Heart and soul will be needed listening for everyone who seek a way out of our own current impasse.
