Lady Jean - You're right that the Left quibbles about details while the Right marches in lockstep, and I'll tell you why. The political Left basically utilizes the great feminine archetype as its inner psychic engine while the Right embodies the masculine archetype. (I've always preferred the notion of matriarchy to that of patriarchy...when I think patriarch, I think "Republican"!)

Meedless to say, most people are entirely unaware of this.

What we've got here is a dysfunctional marriage on a vast basis! :-)

Think about it...

The actual "center" is a more harmonious combination of the two, where they combine their strengths and abilities and work together. Our political system does not encourage that in the least, as it is based upon prearranged division and conflict.
