We also share a belief that our country's future is in jeopardy, at least in part because our current political culture rewards hyperpartisanship rather than principled patriotism.
I tend to believe our country's future is in jeopardy because our political culture rewards big money and special interests, but for the sake of not looking too hyperpartisan, I scanned the No Labels website for the term to see if I could understand more what they mean by that label.
This piece argues that it's our hyperpartisanship that prevents us from seeing the wisdom of raising the Social Security retirement age.
I therefore conclude that I am, in terms of No Labels' labels, hyperpartisan.
UPDATE: No Labels is really into this "hyperpartisan" label (there was even a panel on it). Wear it proudly if you didn't see the "need to take action" on weakening Social Security in the deal:
Santa Claus may not be real, but this weekend, for No Label Americans, there is reason to believe that the parties in Washington can come together.
...The agreement has desirable and undesirable elements for everyone but the need to take action beat out hyperpartisanship. And that is something to celebrate.
It is odd that No Labels, which devotes so much attention to the deficit, would celebrate a deal that adds hundreds of billions more to it. Odd, that is, until you read the fine print in that link on the "entitlement crisis" and the helpful solutions presented from the Peter Peterson crowd.
Also, we hyperpartisans hate Christmas, and puppies, and such.
