if right/left are 50/50, that is not a nation in stagnation. that is a "moderate" view of utopia! Or call it a political equilibrium. But it is rare to have it last very long. There are always forces in play.

Frankly, I'm embarassed as an American to have someone who thinks like this representing our country. Not all Americans are this ignorant or racist.

Frankly, I'm embarrassed to see a fellow American somehow find racism in that post.

Ridiculous.
