Political and religious discussions on the Internet will always be littered with the trash of belligerent anonymity. Failure and treachery, success and patriotism, we will interpret the actions of our leaders with wild and staunch variance. We cannot agree because of the wide range of things we can disagree on.
But bitter partisan bickering is especially vitriolic in America, and sadly so, because we have the power to do such great things if we would just shut up and look around at what's going on, instead of wasting time and energy debating at each other about what's already happened. As Lewis Carrol says, no one is listening because everyone is talking.
