Charlie Daniels: Will Americans Ever Again Be Able to Work Things Out?

It seems there is less and less common ground in discourse in America anymore as the constantly redrawn battle lines move farther and farther apart, taking with them even the folks on both fringes, severely narrowing the space for what have heretofore been known as “moderates.”

With the advent of the militant left, Maxine Waters et al and Andrew Cuomo’s America “was never that great” comment [1], the lines change again, as even would-be liberals cannot countenance the harassing of families having dinner in a public place or the fallacy that the nation that has been the savior of freedom on Planet Earth, and has lead the world in technology, military power, industrial strength and personal liberty for over two centuries, is not and “was never that great.”

It goes both ways. People on the right complain about "RINOs" too.

Unless you're an extremist on either side you're seen as the enemy.

Yup.

It's looking more and more like we are going to go the route of France in the 1790s, until the law of economic asserts itself and we then go the route of Venezuela/Zimbabwe.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

We need a new model, and maybe in 2020 we'll get it.   If the Dems get foolish and nominate a socialist, and the GOP re-ups for Trump,  the way will be cleared for a true centrist to emerge as a third party candidate.

That would be logical if this were normal times and the bulk of the population had the same overall mindsets and beliefs as our parents and grandparents.

I'm discerning each side grows more militant and more confrontational. 

We may soon each see an election 'choice' between a Mussolini or a Stalin and the campaign for each will be as vicious as one can imagine - with claims each of them will 'save the country'.

  Competence.  Integrity.  Results.  Normalcy.  Reconciliation. 

I'm sick and tired of the sideshow,  RIV.   Send the circus geeks home. All of 'em.

Maybe, if the leftists stop the violence.  Not until.

This RINO/not RINO thing is an academic question as long as anarchists are beating people up.

You know to the NT'rs... Trump is like that obtuse deep-sea striver who never lived up to the taste standards of Starkist Tuna.
