This country has always been a place where ideas and morals were always on the opposite ends. The Colonist debated independence or loyalty, the founding fathers states rights vs federalism, then slavery against abolition, industry tackles progressiveness, The civil rights battle. Now there here is where the current polarization of America started to make itself visible. Present day, we have liberals and conservatives. Neither are completely wrong or right, but both do have one thing in common they have their extreme people. Recently in the news this has been extremely obvious. Recently Bill Maher said that America was stupid. He said this probably his anger over how certain ideas and people can become popular in America. Ok misunderstanding, but when asked to clarify he would not or even change what he said apologize or anything. Maher has always been a hardline liberal and has criticized America plenty of times, but so have I. Criticizing this nation means you hold it to a standard and want to uphold it, but saying America is stupid is just wrong and hurtful to the American Cause of Liberals. Liberals have been labeled as anti-america or not American and saying things like this hurt us. Then on the opposite spectrum is Glenn Beck he said that President Obama is a Racist. This is not good with the recent Gates situation race tensions are already too high. Saying unfounded things like this is just wrong and hurtful to the process of healing that this nation needs. He has also furthered the stereotype of conservatives. There was a time when saying things like that would have ened the careers of both of them. What they said was uncalled for. America has become so polarized that people can say thing and press ideas that are simply wrong and it is ok Maher and Beck will fell little to no fallout over the things that they said. What has America come to when one man can say America is stupid and the other can call the president a racist? Well this has been happening for a long time, The Kanye West thing and the many Rush Limbaugh things it is so sad to me that America is so split.
