Both for your country, and the rest of the world.

This is one of tose watershed moments in time, and in a perverse way, we're lucky to live through it and watch it unfold. We have the benefits of information and hindsight, combined with the very immediate access to current information (and mis-information!).

It's like watching history unfold, though we're running through glue. Everyone is quick to react and throw in their $0.02 but it takes a relative lifetime for any of these ideas/packages/plans/opinions/guesses etc to actually play out in the real world.

I find it fascinating, but don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not getting any enjoyment out of it at all.

RL: Within the confines of our Constitution, and the political arena of ideas, they must be stopped. I don't care why they see this country the way they see it. I don't care why a murderer does it. I don't care why a rapist does it. I don't care why this Muslim guy offed his wife's head. The NOW gang is out there saying 'oh, that's not domestic violence, that's just, uh, that's just...' what do they call it? 'Culturally honor killing. Or this woman was going to divorce him, that's against the law. That's his diversity.' I don't care, I don't care why anymore. If I figure it out, I'll be glad to tell you because it's interesting to know, but it doesn't matter in terms of defeating them.

Hmm...

c0r version: "I hope Obama fails, cause he's a Democrat, and that's like being a murderer or a rapist or a radical Muslim."

Are you trying to bait me? The real interpretation isn't that he is equating democrats with murders or rapists or radical muslims. He is saying he doesn't care about the "why", rapists are rapists and they need to be stopped. He doesn't care "why" radical muslims want to destroy America, he just wants them to be stopped.

In the same way, he doesn't care "why" liberals see the country the way the do, he thinks their ideas are harmful for the country and therefore their political ideas need to be stopped.

Of course not. Doing so would require actual analytical thinking.

Are there centrists in the USA? Why are they so poorly represented?

Well I guess that's a dumb question come to think of it. Sort of hard to making millions as a national radio/tv personality if you have boring views.

I wish the people at the center of the spectrum would come out of hiding a bit, I would identify myself more as a "Liberal" than a "Conservative" but I don't really like the tags to be honest. Anyone have any good reads from people closer to the middle of the political spectrum?

Theres plenty of people in the center, they just don't make the headlines.

Figured.

I guess the center will have to declare war on the right and left and appoint a center Czar before anyone takes us seriously

So you stand by the comparison. Thought so.

I don't care why the Nazis were unconcerned with human rights, just like I don't care why Republicans are unconcerned with them.

lol... I stand by the comparison regarding the "I don't care about the 'why'" part, not YOUR comparison of "he's saying democrats are the (moral) equivalent of rapists/murders/radical muslims.

Oh come on, you're more intelligent than that. You know exactly why he made the comparison - I'm sure he almost choked on his oxycontin in glee when he dreamed up that snide remark.
