Reality exists in the gray area in the middle. The extreme left & right are both dangerous, stupid, and really willing to destroy our nation for their own personal ideology. We can find examples of both sides doing it - that small 10% on both far ends. Some 80% of Americans are in the middle... they use common sense and make decisions and do the best they can. The use of PURE ideology is dangerous, closed-minded, and really just plain stupid. life is about compromise and the whole of society and the acceptable that things are not black & white.
