This National Institute for Civil Discourse is an idea whose time is certainly past due and I would like to see it get some traction.

The MSM has been shoveling coal as fast as they can to keep their hellbound train on time and profitable. Their railroad owners/masters demand it. Call me cynical, but I don't see the average conservative having an interest in braking this toxic train ride by increasing dialogue and understanding. They're just happy to be in the first Pullman because they believe they will get to the destination before us.
