You are right. There is a general solipsism on the Left which denies objective truth, reasoned argument, facts and figures . . . and there is also a substitution of Government for God. Last week I presented 21 clear Bush proposals on health care to a liberal at work. He responded, "I just don't see any logic." That was his whole respnse. No reasoned argument. No debate over facts. That's the way they are.
I look at politics in 3 areas.
On the right and left you have extremists. The Rights extremists believe in the constitution, believe that god is the foundation for our beliefs and believe that each individual was given god given rights that are to be protected by the laws given to us by both the constitution and the bible.
The lefts extremists are secularists that believe the state is the keeper of everyones lives and that our "god given" rights are to be doled out by the state at their whim. The constitution to the left is an inconvenience and obstacle to the power of the state.
Then you have everyone in between. These are Republicans and Democrats, rather than conservatives and liberals. This group believes in the workings of the constitution and respect that we have god given rights. However they would also like to see some relaxation of the laws as it pertains to the individual. In all fairness to this group, areas such as abortion and gay marriage fall into the "gray" area where people believe that this is their right. However extremists from both sides made this an issue more than twenty years ago and in a way has Divided the nation.
Bottom line is we are starting to see more of a polarization then at any time in American history. Look at the world. Most countries are governed by "the state" and not the individual. The left is determined to turn this country into a state governed by the state for the state. The people are mere pawns in their goal to control the resources of this country.
Which leaves the right and everyone else. The right wants this country to be run like churches in 15th century Italy.
Which leaves everyone in the middle. People, it is time to wake up. Because that 45-45-10 is quickly becoming 35-35-30. And that 30% of what the media calls undecided is what will change this countryover the next 10-20 years. It is convincing that part of the population that it is indiviual freedom and liberty that make this country great and not state dominated radicalism.
The 60's was a failed social experiment. Look at everything the state controls in this country. Slums, unions, education. All failed policies. It has no place n 2004.
Start waking up people to this. We need a 527 that can spend the next four years broadcasting this. Whether we win or lose, it must be told to the people.
Because if not, we will wind up like the Soviet Union, France, Germany and other nations where the state controls the people.
Just my 2 cents.
