Can't we sit down at the same table?
No, we can't: Catholics demand pro-abortion mayor disinvited from Christmas dinner.

The other day, I heard some pundit longing for the days when Americans of different political persuassions could sit down and talk to each other. Yes, those were the good ole days. Then, we might disagree about certain issues, but we were in basic agreement about the fundamentals of life and the family. The miniscule minority who disagreed lived in Greenwich Village. From the 1960s on, those days have been over. I could have a civil discussion with someone who disagreed with me on Mr. Bush's War or a number of other issues, but when it comes to life and the family, there is no common ground.
