Often confused with being fake.
Polite is being kind and respectful to others. It is based on the genuine desire to smooth relations with others, to treat them with respect, and to make them comfortable.
Being polite does not necessarily mean that you're hiding something or holding back from how you really feel. Instead, it means that you are not so self centered that you only do something for your own interests (i.e being nice to get to know someones secrets).
A desirable quality.

A summary of American politics goes as follows IMHO:
A Republican thinks he is doing the will of God.
A Democrat thinks he IS God.
A Republican thinks he is doing the will of God.
A Democrat thinks he IS God.
Republican: This is what Jesus would want! Bombings, oil pipelines, war, huge deficits...surely God agrees with the PNAC mission statement for America to dominate the world!
Democrat: If Jesus were alive today, he would be a Democrat, because He was incapable of sin, just like all Democrats are! We Democrats exist solely oppose the evil, satanist Nazithuglikkkanazis, just like Jesus!
