“I like the idea of people uniting across right/left sides to work on common issues that concern us.”
Except that my philosophy on government and their philosophy on government are diametrically opposed. My view is that the overwhelming majority of problems cannot and should not be solved by government, thus as soon as I decide to work with anyone on the other side of the aisle I have already capitulated on my core principle.
As soon as I saw the ad for People for the American Way I knew I was in enemy territory.
Definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing that seems to be sucking in many honest hearted people.
Then again, that is how communism works, by deception, promising freedom while robbing you of everything we hold dear.
