Summary

"Abortion, Gay marriage, gun control. Are Americans deeply polarized on these hot-button moral and cultural issues? Should we believe the political pundits and politicians who proclaim that Americans are seriously divided not only on these issues but on other domestic and foreign policy issues as well? No, says Morris Fiorina." "Poking holes in the concept of a "culture war," Fiorina shows that average Americans are both moderate in their views and tolerant in their manner and that moral issues are not among their most serious concerns. Fiorina argues that the view of a polarized America is not only false, but harmful, and that recognizing our common ground provides a basis for creating a less contentious and more productive approach to government and politics in the future."--BOOK JACKET.
