Today, John, moderate centrists are considered to be an abnormality. We aren't welcome on most threads.

Seems that way online as someone else posted to me the last week here.. But in the real world don't you agree many more are quite rational but confused as to what is really going on? Of course you will have a radical in every crowd no matter what.

Bet if you polled Americans the overwhelming majority (60%+) would agree on the following:
we are too imperialistic and spend way too much money on the military for profits
we give way too many hand outs disincentivizing work
the wealth disparity is way too great and the middle class keeps eroding
the super wealthy control our politicians
we need to be energy independent
we need to invest much more in infrastructure and rebuilding America
our political process is too divided, controlled by superpacs and does not work for the people anymore

Notice I didn't even get into the fed micromanaging as most don't get that one MM <ng>
