Fox News host Greta Van Susteren will sit on this new board. She believes the institute can calm partisanship, and observed on her blog: "I jumped at the chance.

Idiocy does not exclude Fox News.

Civility can be over-rated. There are some issues where hard-hitting, in-your-face confrontation is called for. I applauded Joe Wilson for crying out, "You lie!" during President Obama's State of the Union address last year. I was saddened to see him don the cloak of civility afterward. In America today, it's not civility we're lacking, it's conviction and courage.

Does America Need a "Civility Institute"?

NO!

And if it's "official"...it sounds like a violation of the 1st Amendment.

Civility my ass. The same applies to bipartisanship. The democrat party has always used those two terms as weapons to get their way. F*** them and screw their agenda. The democrat party is the party of slavery and we will not be tax slaves to support the democrat and union plantations anymore. This is the slave rebellion that the democrats worried about in the first half of the 19th century and they are right to worry because this time it’s going to happen.

FUBO & FAD
