Carter: Blue vs. Red divides us more than Blue vs. Gray did

Jimmy Carter says that America is more polarized than it was during the Civil War.

While that's obvious hyperbole, I wonder whether Mr. Carter has reflected upon the degree to which he, personally, has contributed to that polarization with his own overheated rhetoric.

Mr. Carter's transformation from a moderate, if ineffectual, liberal president to a reckless and rhetorically extreme ex-president has saddened many of us who once found things to admire in his record, and endangered his fair prospects of historical rehabilitation in the wake of what was at the time largely perceived to be a disasterous presidency.
