Democrats have become deeply intolerant of opposing views. Not every Democrat, but many of them. I know many Republicans who feel they have to hide their politicos censor themselves around family, friends, and colleagues -- while Democrats often feel it is their prerogative to force their ideological beliefs onto everyone else, and call them "racist" if they dare to disagree.
A new survey by Axios confirms earlier, similar polls that show conservatives are afraid to share their views, and liberals are not. The new poll, among young Americans, shows that many Democrats don't want to have anything to do with people who have different views, while most Republicans are okay with diversity. 37% of Democrats in the survey would not have a friend with Republican views; only 5% of Republicans said the same about Democrats.
When people talk about the divide in American politics, it is becoming increasingly clear where that divide comes from, and who is driving it. It's not a "divide"; it's a constant, relentless attack by the left on the right, and on the rare occasion when the right pushes back, that's called "divisive" by the media. That's why Joe Biden can't unify the country, as promised: his policies, and his rhetoric, and his party, are fully committed to a divisive agenda.

This week's portion is the last of the month of Av -- also known as Menachem (Comforter) Av -- which begins in mourning and ends in celebration and anticipation of the New Year and the process of repentance and renewal.
In a similar vein, the portion features Moses offering the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. They are masters of their own fates: if they obey God's commandments, they receive the blessings -- and vice versa.
The key commandment is to reject idol worship. There is said to be something magnetic about the practice of worshiping idols in the new land, such that it would be constant moral battle, both individually and collectively, in the land.
Nowadays, according to Jewish tradition, humanity has lost the urge for idol worship (and the antidote, which is divine prophecy) -- but there are several near substitutes, such as lust or excessive appetites for worldly pleasures.
We are wired for compulsive behaviors, bad habits, and even addictions. These ...
