Right on messages from both No Labels and Tom Friedman. The No Labels folks certainly don't look like radicals or rabble rousers, yet there views can transform a failing political system that is crippling our nation and threatening the future wellbeing of not only as a nation, but our planet. Let stop focusing on winning the next election and instead take the steps necessary to win the future.

Comments are moderated. We welcome your comments which includes respecting and embracing diverse opinions and diverse backgrounds. There are plenty of blogs and websites where partisanship, unfounded conspiracy theories, and intentional insults poison the environment. We'd like for our blog to be an alternative to that approach. We ask that participants not to hide behind anonymity, and be as polite and as responsible as you would be if you were speaking in a public forum and their mother might see them on the news. Those who come to this blog to deface it with ugliness and rancor will not be published here.

The Coffee Party provides a place where men and women of all ages, races, physical abilities, and orientations can come together for a respectful and honest exchange of ideas.
