Political polarization in the US of A

There are often difficulties discussing politics in today's ever growing socially connected world.  Political statements seem to be accepted more than they are in the real world of dialogue.  All the same I have come to the realization that I cannot stand idly by any longer and listen to the garbage spat from both sides of the political spectrum.

I do not expect a soul to follow my rant, but if you find this then hello!!!

SO THIS IS FOR YOU Ms. Hippie Tree Hugger who forgets to see that there is a founded necessity to expand our reach in the great white north and exploit our natural resources well we still have a chance.

AND THIS IS FOR YOU Mr. Trailer Park gun slinger who doesn't understand that Mr. Obama is not a Muslim, he is Christian.  Your own leaders say it.  Get over it.

It is my hope that in this rambling I may recall some key points of theory that helped create my own political ambiguity.  Of all, the one thing that really "grinds my gears" is that most liberals and conservatives have unfounded ideals that polarization is always the standard.  This creates the political statements on the F=book and on TV that are so "radical" and disconnected with the truth...

So lets get one thing clear, Conservatives and Liberals are not on opposite sides of the spectrum.  They merely have founding principles that are not the same...  
Each agree that the government has a Social Contract to protect our personal freedom. 

The difference is that Liberals believe in protecting personal liberties, i.e. health, hunger, life.  
And Conservatives believe in protecting there personal property, which they worked hard for and have the right to do as they please with...

So every time you hear, Conservatives stand for America, that doesn't mean Liberals are anti-america, they just see a different version of it. 

        In the wake of the Vietnam war thousands of students and progressives stood outside draft halls and government buildings calling for the end of fighting...  Those who were supporting the war stood on the other side of the street holding up American Flags.  The smartest thing the progressives could have done was hold up American Flags as well, and demonstrated on behalf of the State; instead they burned the flags igniting a stigma that would last with them forever.      

Oh the US of A...
