Distill it down, boil off the rhetoric, get to the root of the matter.

The reason civilized discussion is so uncommon is that the two major parties want it that way.

They both sell animosity.

Proof of the matter is the ACLU coming down on the side of gun control. What could be more of a Civil Liberty than gun ownership and gun freedoms? They needed something to sell, they picked gun control because it was available.

Nobody has any respect for the constitution, and that is the underlying cause of most of our lack of civil discourse.

If you pick either of our two major political parties, you simply decide which end of the constitution you want erroded.

It's all unacceptable and un-American.
