Breaking points and fuel

NOTE: The below was written in a moment of inspiration fueled by caffeine, and while I’d love to talk about it more, I need to devote the time to other issues. The book, like all of my ideas, will probably be delayed.

While walking through Barnes and Noble the other day, I observed several titles for sale: Mr. Hannity of Hannity and Colmes authoring a book on how liberals have been defeated, John Savage talking about almost the same thing, the O’Reilly factor (from the former host of Inside Edition), and Rush Limbaugh’s books. It struck me that there were a ton of books espousing “victory” over liberalism. First of all, I didn’t realize that it was a war between liberal vs. conservative. Unfortunately, a lot of other people feel that way.

Now, the issue that I have is that I believe the majority of Americans are not polemicists for either conservative or liberal views. I believe that, by and large, Americans are moderates in most of our views on things. There are hot button differentiators — abortion, homosexuality, etc., but by and large, moderate voices don’t have a place in the media. (Note: there is no such thing as “liberal media bias”. I’ll provide a link later on that.)

So, I think that my dream of writing a book is going to be realized in trying to set forth the moderate view of America, one that isn’t all Republican or all Democratic, and one that tries not to get involved in a war with either side. This may be impossible, but I don’t think that many other people are willing to try.

I’m interested in what people think about things. Let me know in the comments.
