Some were good, like the Great Compromise between the small states and the larger ones at the Constitutional Convention.&nbsp;&nbsp;And some bad, like the Three-Fifths Compromise at the same Convention, granting the Southern states more political power by counting their \u201cowned people\u201d as \u201cthree-fifths persons\u201d for the purpose of representation and taxation (but not voting).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But our current climate on both sides does not allow for compromise:&nbsp;&nbsp;ask the \u201cJoes\u201d, Biden and Manchin.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are \u201csiloed\u201d in our political views.&nbsp;&nbsp;The last paragraph of Patrick Henry\u2019s oration is this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIs life so dear, or peace so sweet, to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?&nbsp;&nbsp;Forbid it Almighty God!&nbsp;&nbsp;I know not what choice others may make, but as for me:&nbsp;&nbsp;Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Henry saw no compromise possible with England: only Liberty or Death.&nbsp;&nbsp;America of 2021 should not be in that situation of binary alternatives.&nbsp;&nbsp;But we are acting as if we are.&nbsp;&nbsp;And the driving force of that reaction:&nbsp;&nbsp;we are continually reinforced&nbsp;&nbsp;that there can be no middle ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climb out of the silo.&nbsp;&nbsp;Take a look at some different views.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s the only way to govern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They aren\u2019t always wrong, and you aren\u2019t always right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The election of year of 2020 is over:&nbsp;&nbsp;like it or not, Donald Trump lost, Joe Biden won.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, fingers crossed, the COVID pandemic seems to be on the verge of ending as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;The vaccines are proving to be incredibly effective.&nbsp;&nbsp;Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson, even the much maligned Astra-Zeneca:&nbsp;&nbsp;all seem to have seventy percent or higher &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2021\/04\/05\/feeding-the-fire\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Feeding the Fire&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Feeding the Fire : Our America - Essays on Politics and American Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"American politics in our &quot;silos&quot; of ideology.
