Open Your Minds America
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — As people shout over each other and tune out diverging views in town hall meetings, the health care debate is proving to be symptomatic of a major ailment threatening our nation:
A contagious culture of closed-mindedness threatens to suffocate our progress as a society.
Why has it become so difficult to even consider changing our minds about important issues?
Here’s my diagnosis.
Increasingly, the willingness to change one’s position on political issues has been misread as a mark of weakness rather than a product of attentive listening and careful deliberation.
During the 2004 Presidential campaign, the successful branding of John Kerry as a flip-flopper doomed his bid. Fear of “flip-flopper syndrome” is apparently catching like the flu, because today’s politicians are not alone in their determination to adhere to partisan positions despite the changing needs of our nation.
Nearly everyone’s so reluctant to appear wishy-washy that they stand firm even when the evidence is against their views.
Three factors exacerbate this paralysis by lack of analysis: labels, lifestyles and listening.
First, the labels ascribed to many potential policy tools render sensible options taboo, loading what could be rational, economic or social measures with moral baggage. This narrows our choices, hemming in policy makers.
Any proposal including the words “government-run” elicits cries of “socialism” and “communism.” Any argument invoking the words “God” or “moral” sparks accusations of “right-wing extremism,” “fascism,” or “Bible-thumping.” Instead of listening to each other’s ideas, we spot the warning label and run the other way.
Second, our lifestyles favor knee-jerk reactions. The way we think, work and live in the Digital Age demands we quickly categorize information without investing time into rich interaction, research and understanding.
We’re hesitant to ask questions because we don’t have time to listen to the long, complicated answers that might follow. And we lack the time to fact-check competing claims. In our haste, it’s easier to echo our party’s position than drill down, questioning whether party leaders are motivated by our best interests or the best interests of their biggest contributors.
Third, we tend to listen only to like-minded opinions as media fragmentation encourages us to filter out varying perspectives. If you’re a liberal, you avoid FOX News. If you’re a conservative you revile MSNBC. The dynamic is even more pronounced online, where a niche media source can be found for any outlook.
This silences the opportunity for meaningful dialogue and deliberation that might lead to reformulating positions, forging sustainable compromises, and developing consensus crucial to moving our nation forward on complex issues.
So how can we overcome this challenge, starting with the health care debate? How do we open our minds to the possibility that we could actually learn from somebody else?
a)
liberals and conservatives
b)
people who can’t make up their minds to politician John Kerry
c)
politicians and right-wing extremism
d)
the health-care debate to an ailment or sickness

I want to fight for my right to party
Beastie Boys

I consider myself a Republican because of the % of my views, but im very open-minded when it comes to politics. Also im 18 years of age, so please understand my grammar may seem a little “funny” to the older crowd haha.
Anyways, Something i dont understand is why is it when We all voted to have it so when you went to a official ballot, You could not see what party affiliation the Prop, or Person running was affiliated with. Now, my question is why were the democrats so upset with this? I did research and heard the head of the Democrat Party (speaker of the house) and many other democrat leaders say that “We have to have the Party Affiliation down there because the democrat voters need the guidance.”
So my question is why would they say this? Why not let people vote for what they believe in. And ive been told by a Republican, And read this carefully so you do not misunderstand, He said that More republicans do their research Than democrats. Now thats not saying that Democrats dont do their research because PLENTY do. But meaning the Middle-class less educated ones dont really do the research and just go to the ballott and just vote “democrat”. I dont agree with this at all, and im also confused why the democrat leaders Would say this about democratic voters, because it seems like a insult to the democratic voters. Just looking for responses

He is a Democrat.

1. They don’t vote, or affiliate with any political party.
2. They are anti-nationalist,
3. They don’t make excuses when they fall short, and take responsibility for their action. Even as they feel that evil is the temptation of Satan, they are accountable for the choices they make.
4. They worship only one god, and honor Jesus as the king of their prophets. The Messiah, king messenger of their god.
5. They actually read and study the Bible.
6. They are anti-war, pro-pacifism, pro-altruism, pro-humanitarians, and pro-environmentalism.
I’m an agnostic who has a couple of friends in the Jehovah Witness religion. It seems that Jehovah Witness are a treat to those who have uses for religion other than serving their god, like controlling followers of Christianity for political use.
