moderate blog

So we discussed different blogs in class the other day. Being a political moderate, I was a bit upset that no moderate blog was mentioned in class. I soon realized, after doing research, that there really aren't that many out there. I feel like this is a problem. There are so many blogs (cough, cough, the huffington post) that have such a biased, and poor perspective of the opposing viewpoints. This goes both ways. I have found (and this is just my opinion being in the middle and seeing both sides) that liberals have a very judgemental viewpoint on consevatives, and consevatives have a very closed minded viewpoints on a liberal perspective. I feel like these blogs create this group think like
r President Obama was because I felt like he had the unbias veiw of the world. Sure many of his viewpoints are drastically to the left, but I still felt like he was our most moderate candidate in a while.

I think his viewpoints in this article, and the way he handled the Notre Dame controversy perfectly illustrate this.

Bottom line: I feel like the common theory in society is you have to pick a side, either conservative or liberal. You can't just be in the middle, and I know this is wrong. I, as President Obama says, need to have "open hearts. Open minds. Fair-minded words." We need more people that are willing to look at politics as not a competitiion between right and left, but an agreement that we are going to work together to come up with the best solution for our country.
