That’s where we are in American politics today. Loud voices on the extremes left and right. A media driven by ratings anxious to exploit the extreme division in our country. What we once called “middle America” or “the moderates” are drummed out by the shrill voices on the left or the right so that no one hears the other. I no longer identify myself with either party. I agree with parts of both agendas and reject parts of their extreme agendas. The example Johnny posted represents an example of what I speak and I could give examples from the Democratic Party as well.
