Article: Left v. Right: Different Worlds Pt 1

Sure we can; but we need a better educated electorate and people trained/educated in logic and political philosophy and not reality tv politics and school yard bullying and name calling.

PO1 Tony Holland Personally I think the two sides are necessary. While I despise the ACLU for instance, they do help pull the country from going too far to the right just as the extreme right wing political groups keep the country from going too far left.

I believe that the politics of the nation is much like a pendulum, swinging back and forth between the two sides. So long as it says within acceptable range right or left the country will survive if not prosper, but if or when it goes beyond that sensible realm we will find ourselves in a socialist/communist state or a dictatorship, neither of which I find acceptable and suspect that the 3% would rise up if either were to happen.

No. One side or the other will prevail. There is no compromise. Why does anyone think that compromise is a desirable end? The Missouri Compromise prolonged slavery. Compromising with Hitler only encouraged him to grasp for more territory, more power. Compromise is bad. And don't get the idea that the author of this article is promoting compromise. "Progressives have long sought compromise to at least move us all forward..." Yes, Progressives seek compromise just as Hitler did. Give them an inch and they'll ask for another. "...whereas now in particular, the right's death-grip on their ideology and the banishment of compromise as a strategy leave us all wanting." Now that sounds "objective" doesn't it. Now let's get honest. The Left promotes tyranny. The tyranny of centralized control. The Right promotes individual liberty and responsibility. Where do we compromise between them? Nowhere I hope.
