But, I am a centrist at heart, a person who believes that uniting the people of America is in our best interest. It will only occur when legislation is created from the political center.
Well, I am just one of over 280 million American nobodies. Yet, it seems there is not one night, where one news outlet, does not quote a new poll about what the nobodies believe. Oddly, our opinions are in high demand.
The term centrist or moving to the center, used often-in politics today, lacks substance and meaning. Centrists need a true-life ideology, such as liberals or conservatives. Most Americans yearn for a new political ideology, for new leadership.
…If you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you're young at heart
Frank Sinatra sang these words in the 1954 classic movie, "Young of Heart." This morning, relaxing as I drank a cup of coffee and read the newspaper, it became apparent to me, that centrism does sound like a fairy tale.
It's always wise to know something about anyone encouraging a new political view or ideology. I have told you a few things about myself, but, there is still more to know, so you can better understand my perspective, my political evolution.
Unlike liberalism or conservatism, centrism is not a one-dimensional ideology. You might wonder what I mean by this. Imagine drawing a straight line for a moment.
The Republican and Democratic parties are still the main powers in American politics. But, these once great parties have become the embodiment of failure. By exerting fear among Americans, they have been able to maintain power, and the falsehood of division.
