True, perhaps this all started with what happened in 2000 and the election mess we went through, and the chads and conspiracies on both sides.
I, also, believe in the rule of the law according to the Constitution, we agree on that. Our differences lie on the interpretations and that can be healthy. It has been for over 200 years. BUT the question then becomes, why now is it the interpretations are becoming so different that it has been leading to total hatred and apathy of those who differ?
The natural order of our country has always been to drift left then right but primarily we focused on the center. Today, it seems we have vocalalities trying to pull it right and others trying to pull it left and the natural balance is becoming affected by the sheer nature of this hatred for the other side.
It is for this reason I believe the conspiracies and the "hidden agendas" come into play. Because we have gotten so polarized neither side wants to lose power and neither side wants to give a little power away to benefit AlLL not just those whose philosophies are shared.
Where can right and left meet so that the natural progression can continue and not be interfered with?
