Our traditional two party system appears to be fraying at the edges. Neither party speaks for the majority of Americans.
The Republican Party has lost its way. The party of Eisenhower is long gone. Far right extremists appear to be in firm control. As a result, Democrats have been quick to tar all conservatives as a bunch of extremists bent on destroying our democracy.
Not to be outdone, extremists on the far left wing of the Democratic Party have pushed a wildly unpopular social agenda that doesn’t recognize the concerns of most people. Needless to say, this plays right into Republican claims that all Democrats are anti-police socialists/marxists/communists.
It is the belief of this writer that there is a middle ground between these two extremes where patriotic men and women can agree on common sense solutions for our country. In the coming weeks and months, we will explore what those solutions might look like.
