Your tone alone sets you apart from seemingly most on the left. While I readily admit that the right has its overzealous idealogues, the left has a special sanctimonious air to it that can be repulsive.
Take stock, my friend. You may be further to the right than you think. JFK, by today’s measure, would perhaps not be a Democrat.
All the best and thank you.
I enjoy your point about JFK and it’s potentially valid - I know what he did with taxes. But Reagan might just be a Blue Dog these days in that he was willing to raise taxes to try to address the deficit.
We officially have divided government now so this is my attempt to begin to bridge the divide. I live in NYC, voted for Cuomo and Jerry Nadler today (calm down guys - I can feel the blood pressure rising!), but if you’re willing to believe that I want the best for my country then perhaps we can stop yelling and start talking. That’s all I’m hoping for.
