  6. As a Socially Liberal Fiscal Conservative, I can only hope that the Political Radicalism that has frozen both Political Parties in the US into "Disparate Realities" and brought about an impossibility of compromise will lead to the rise of one or two New Political Parties that truly represent the moderate attitudes of the vast majority of the American People.

    I have long been a believer in the Parkinsonian "Pendulum Theory" of Historical Momentum, and have regretfully watched the fervor of "True Believers" destroy the American Dialectic.

    The alternative of replacing both Parties would be the downfall of this Nation.
    Remember that this President is a "Symptom" of the Political Stasis, not the "Cause".
