The constitution and the cross

Great opinion piece in the nyt today.

Quick Question

Can someone explain to me the rational behind denying Obama's citizenship, or the term 'death panels' to describe an idea put forth by a republican georgia senator. I'm all for robust debate, a democracy demands it, but come'on.

Why I'm starting this.

So why would I be interesting to read?? I don't really think that that is really the question so much as how much can people in a nation so obsessed with how we are different to come to grips with how well we are alike.
I'm in the middle of writing a sci-fi novel and creating a world within our own, so here I would love to hear ideas about the Art of Writing as well as having a reasonable debate on politics in america.
