When did our politics become so pathological that anyone who disagrees on a particular policy option must be condemned as heartless? Why are so many of us unable to separate the personal from the political? If I think Bernie Sanders espouses some terrible ideas do I need to call him a terrible person?

Of course everything has become pretty interconnected at this point so there is no absolute separation at this point, maybe more so once (anyone who sees homeless people about could get sick from say an epidemic that starts with the homeless for instance).

I think it's good to expand our thinking and look at what other countries have done to improve the everyday lives of their citizens. It's also good to look at the history of such social change.
As far as heartlessness goes, I think that's a false dichotomy. I think we can do better as a nation, working together, the way we have done since our inception. We need to share our thoughts, our knowledge, and our best ideas, and we need everyone.
Seriously? Here is what Rubio had to say about him.

According to our fearless leader Castro is not the only evil, murderous person because Ted Cruz's father killed JFK.
I'll take "Crazy Bernie" over the real lunatic every day.
