Why is every moderate Republican called a RINO? Why is every moderate Democrat called a leftist? One reason our country is so divided is because we moderates are remaining too quiet while both extremes are shouting.

CPT Jack Durish - It's a riddle, wrapped in mystery, inside an enigma - political labels. In example, I associate Independent with Independence, while others interpret it as off the grid, without affiliation and drifting afloat. Our parties are no longer our Father's Oldsmobiles.

CPT Jack Durish - I may not have made myself clear. Not all Democrats are leftists in my opinion. One can be a fiscal conservatove, but have a different point of view about social issues like education, human rights, tax policy, and laissez faire economic practices. Democrats are not all socialists. I do not subscribe to the predicate that all Democrats are socialists, just like I do not subsribe to the premise that all Republicans are white supremacists. I cannot believe in syllogistic fallacies. For example:
Some white supremacists are Republicans.
Jack is a Republican.
Jack is a white supremacist.
Some Antifa are Democrats.
David is a Democrat.
David is an Antifa.
We can, however, disagree with each other's definition of the terms.

I have visited the Reagan Library twice and am touched by the place. Learning that it is now run by Fred Ryan touches me like a double-jack hammer

I was too busy to go to San Clemente, even though I lived there. The Reagan Library looks impressive from TV I've seen. Disneyland was fun for the kids. Black's Beach below Torrey Pines for the adults and hang gliders. Mission Beach, OB, La Jolla, old town SD etc.

Square? Triangle? Circle? Yes! It all depends on where you stand. What I do know from personal experience and research will keep me on the Trump side of the equation for now. And the other thing I know is I have lost all faith in our politicians and the various institutions on the hill, not to mention a deeper and deeper loathing for the majority of MSMs.
