There is a problem brewing, and it goes bigger than a mosque in New York.
What is going to tear that country apart, is extreme partisan politics. What they need is moderates to work between the two extremes and guide the country in a direction that doesn't cater to one side or the other but gives a little something to both.
They don't have that.
You get Fox News feeding the right with bullshit about flies landing on Obama and not a lick of journalism, then to counter you get NBC and CNN going to cater to the left.
Then you get Tea Parties and Palin. A wonderful combination. She doesn't know a damn thing about anything of concern to the electorate, but she knows how to get Rednecks to the voting station.
Right now, its all or nothing.
I'll mention that right now, I consider myself a fiscal conservative and a social progressive. Line that up in US politics, and it says I don't like democrats handling of the economy, and the GOP scares the shit out of me with their social ideas.
I DON'T CARE IF GAYS MARRY!
Sorry, just wanted to throw that in there.
There is no room for me in American media, in journalism or really with politicians. It's all or nothing. Either the democrats are going to ruin the country, or the GOP will.
