Extremists see and offer or compromise as a sellout and morally reprehensible.
True. I think we're beginning to see the weakness of our Constitutional System. No system is perfect, but our particular system lends itself to splitting into a two party system, and over the long run its inevitable that you'll get periods where there simply are no realistic moderates around to actually get things done.
So now, here we are. We actually need to get some stuff done and we simply can't. The system is being held hostage by the the extremists on the Right and the Left who can't even begin to want to compromise and can't understand how the other side can be so unreasonable.
