Moderates (liberals and conservatives) need to reassert

I'm old enough to have lived during a period in which "liberal" and "conservative" weren't terms describing mutually exclusive political positions. They weren't polar opposites, and they weren't even necessarily adversarial.

We had social liberals who were fiscally conservative, and vice versa. The political spectrum from liberal to conservative was a Bell curve, with most somewhere in the middle, and relatively few out at the fringes on either far end. Those in the middle were "moderates", and whether they tended a bit liberal or a bit conservative, they could talk to one another, listen to one another, and often - although not always - find common ground or areas of compromise.

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM DEPENDS ON MODERATES WHO CAN WORK TOGETHER, AND THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA KNOW THAT BETTER THAN YOU DO.

In the past several decades, there have been globalist forces working to isolate, marginalize and eliminate the moderates. If you look at those who have lost their congressional seats over the last 15 years (or more), you'll discover a surprising preponderance of incumbents who were moderates, and this election was no exception.

Should we be amazed that "divide and conquer" would be a strategy of globalists who wish to emasculate and marginalize America?

My felllow Americans, ISIS, however dangerous, is not America's greatest enemy. The greatest threat to America is being waged from within, not from without.  Eliminate moderates, and you've effectively blown up the ability of people at different points on the political spectrum to work together for the good of the nation.
