"Oh, God, it's Mom!"
This is so precious! On the left, representing the right, is Dallas Woodhouse. On the right, representing the left, is Brad Woodhouse. They're brothers and political activists. Like brothers often do, they argue a lot. Specifically, they argue about politics. That's why they recently met on the C-SPAN program Washington Journal.
That show is a call-in program. People around the country can call a number and speak to the debaters on live television. Someone did call in: their mother. She's sick to death of their political bickering. Ms. Woodhouse wants them to knock it off when they visit her at Christmas. She respects that they're both passionate about politics, "But I hope that they just kind of get this out of their system today on your program."

Why? Is being honest with ourselves and recognising the things which are important that we never learned, and not assuming that we know even though we don't? I think this mindset is better than thinking we are at the pinnacle of human development without looking at our personal individual weaknesses.
As for Germany, and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems awfully liberal in that aspect and others as well (e.g. providing government coverage for homeopathy "treatments"). I guess they are just giving the people what they want no matter how dumb and counterproductive it is. It seems they are doing OK though. Just hope we all aren't heading for a state of idiocracy.
