Liberal Blogger Kevin Drum tells us that our passion over our differences may be a little misplaced.  Citing this NY Times Article, he explains that as the rhetoric increases over increasingly trivial differences between the right and left, our similarities are actually greater than our differences. 

In fact, on the issues of partial birth abortion, affirmative action, marginal tax rates, social security, and even the Iraq war, the argument is on the fringes of the debate, not the core.  In other words, the liberals have already won, and can afford to be a bit more dispassionate.

I've always liked Kevin, mainly because he expouse liberal doctrine without going over the top in the shrill tones preferred by Atrios and Kos.  Undoubtedly the reason he got picked up by Washington Monthyl

Of course that only means that the right will fight just that much harder to hang on to what little they have left to fight over.  Fortunately, this will force the left to remain vigilent instead of becomming complacent.  Besides, if a truce were called, what the hell would we write about?
