America’s politicians take courageous, bipartisan stand against peas in guacamole. Note for a lecture, "E Pluribus Unum? What Keeps the United States United"


   
An outrageous proposition was lodged Wednesday: Put peas in guacamole, exhorted the New York Times.
Nope. That's how you feel, right? It's a very easy position to take, if you ask me, and it's one your elected representatives and political parties -- Democrats and Republicans -- are only so happy to adopt as their own. No poll-testing needed here.
Yes, a bunch of politicians and parties gave their takes on something as dumb as ruining perfectly good guacamole with the addition of peas. It's like the blue-or-white-dress question of foods.
Here's a recap of their positions, because this is important.
President Barack Obama: NOPE. 
Republican presidential candidate and former Florida governor Jeb Bush: NOPE (a position he stated last month and reiterated today
California Democratic Rep. Tony Cárdenas: NOPE. Texas Republican Party: NOPE. 
Dang, people are passionate about guac. It seems this green mush of the gods, as I have predicted in the past, could very well unite this nation.
