I'm a political moderate. So when I answer questions asked by radical conservatives, they condemn me for being a spineless liberal, and when I answer questions posed by radical liberals, they condemn me for being a brainless conservative. As long as I'm getting attacked equally by both sides, I guess I'm right where I ought to be.
It's a shame that Yahoo Answers didn't become a place where those on the left and right could get together and work out differences, maybe come up with a workable plan that suits both sides. Instead, it's just another forum for radical invective from both sides, where angry people from each wing get toghter to bash each other's brains out. Any serious attempts at a solution to these challenging issues gets swept aside in the rising tide of vitriol.
It's apparent that nobody cares about compromise anymore, from Washington all the way down to Yahoo. All over America, you either agree, or you're an idiot. There is no middle ground anymore.
Maybe, once these extremes have effectively torn the country apart, people will wake up and realize that America is not about being vindicated, it's about doing the best you can for the most you can.

Chredon makes sense. Most people are in the middle. So, why is there so much fighting? The thing is, with the 2 party system, there will always be people instigating against the other side. It just seems more so now- I mean there are legitimate reasons people are upset. When our country's leaders begin representing the people again, the people will feel more unified. Many people who are speaking out now will have no reason to when the country's domestic needs are being met.

I have noticed the term liberal is used as if there is a club. Most people are liberal on some issues and conservative on others. When they are attacked, all they know is they are being attacked. In the long run it is probably not a good approach. You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Fascists of any breed republican or democrat need you to adhere to a strict dogma. If you appear to think for yourself or question what's going on, then you fall out of line. They need you to fall in line. Authoritarianism strips independent free will from the people and hands it over to the ones in control, that's how they maintain their power structure. Anything that goes against this is not allowed. They must maintain the power structure at all costs, and many times that includes the truth.

communism is severe leftism on the superb you have fascism because of the fact the severe in u.s. liberals are moderates. They swing to the left interior the fact they like risk-free practices nets for the unfavorable and have self assurance poverty oppresses the persons by potential of combating them from work out their individual liberties of which liberals help vehemently. Liberals are secularists that oppose religious extremism and the government from helping faith. In different words Liberals oppose state faith which communism adopts. making them surely face as much as ideals of communism. Conservatives supposedly are moderates that swing good. They prefer making use of religion to dominate society, as long because it rather is their religious perspectives. They prefer morally policing society. they think that own supplies trumps individual liberties, yet attempt to declare otherwise, not understanding the guy rights they declare to help of the wealthy against help for the unfavorable is surely a shady way of defining private supplies rights. I say they are supposedly moderates that swing good. because of the fact at the instant there are extra severe good-wingers that declare they are conservative. Democrats was once good on the spectrum in simple terms before the election of Nixon. this became into an era whilst the conservative Democrats the place alienated by potential of the mainstream Democrat party because of the fact the party began helping the Civil Rights stream. Southern Conservative Democrats began working their very own applicants in elections in direct opposition to the mainstream Democrat party. understanding the schism Nixon pandered to the Southern Conservatives gaining their help for the Republican party that they've been area of each and every considering the fact that. Up until eventually this time in American historic previous Republicans have been extra liberal than they are right this moment. maximum of them became Republicans collectively as others that stayed Democrats have been given an ultimatum to tone down their racist perspectives or circulate away to. in all likelihood the emergence of political correctness in u.s. and why conservative Republicans hate it lots. this turn flop of values between events is a few thing that did not ensue in many different countries a great style of alternative countries nonetheless have Democrats that are surely good or conservative. regardless of what people who call themselves conservatives declare, they have a tendency to not be very recommended even on their very own party suggestions or the way politics in u.s. evolve.

You can't be both. You are your own party. Most people do not fit into one category.
