"Fascinating" - Mr. Spock

Digby has a good post about the current divisions in U.S. politics, and links to a fascinating essay by Michael Lind (originally published in Foreign Affairs in 1999). If you're familiar with U.S. history, you will be amazed to see how the pieces of the puzzle fall into place. Why various people took the positions they did. How persistent the divisions have been. And why they will continue to exist.

Must reading.
