Oxymorons: Politics are Neither Left or Right (when guns are the problem not the trigger or the out rigger)

from The American Enterprise Manifesto: My America's Vision of Peace and Nonviolence for Humanism · host Jerry Rhoads

Ralph Waldo Emerson said "if everyone goes to the right the canoe tips over. if all everyone goes to the left the canoe tips over. We need well-balanced people who keep the whole canoe going well,"  The middle is the fulcrum of stability.  The teeter totter life is full of risks for falling off the wagon or failing to protect the family fulcrum.  Family is the fulcrum  of everything.  Life is too big to fail with a father, mother, children jobs, faith and life style energy driven health". Jerry Rhoads. Oxymorons: Liberal and liberty.  Progressive and progress. Democrat and democracy.  Republican and republic. Freedom and free love. Family and gangs.  Virginity and feminists.  Guns and safety.  Conservative and excesses.  Crime and criminal.  Sex and sexual.  Black and colored.  White and Anglo.  Abortion and deportation.   Open borders and closed minds.  Left is right. In this oxymoron world where more is less, being dictated by the intellect of theory, quack science, contrived Pandemics and false positives. Such as inflation is transitory, black lives matter, mail-in voting is necessary, drop box ballots enables those who usually don't vote to be the swing vote and a harvest of ballots is a true positive as it enables more noncitizens to have a say. Guns are the problem and gangs are a family unit.   Suburbs are safe for the few and the ghettos are hell. The family is broken and laws won't fix it.  Society  is following the followers.  Politics is leading from behind the money. Free love is good for the individual desires. Births out of wedlock are acceptable. Divorce brings with it broken homes and warped values. While 2.4 million divorces per year are rationalizing the demise of the nuclear family.  The canoe is tipping over and society is victimized by ignoring violence, vulgarity and excess in our entertainment and video games.   What if we move well balanced people to the middle who keep the whole canoe going well.  Is the middle class well balanced or an apparition.  Or is it a caste along with other social mores that have been ruled out by tabloid media, social media and drugged out values? Such as legalized gambling, marijuana, free love sex, porn, normalized vulgarity (f-ing every other word in our schools and movies) sports betting, prostitutions, illegal immigration, illicit drugs, child abuse, rampant divorces, premarital sex, abortions, 300 million guns, illegal elections, violation of human rights, entitlements are the problem along with systemic racism and white imperialism, consequential elections, divided country, identify and woke values, money driven politics (money-tics), etc.  All of which, tip a canoe and a country too.  What are the takeaway in an oxymoron world.  Democracy, free enterprise, equality based on opportunity and equity learned earned from work skill to bill. I believe the above problems can be solved not by government but by society moving the middle of the canoe. In my American Enterprise Party Trilogy I emphasize that the marriage of American capitalism and American Socialism symbolizes this as an ideology of Americanism founded on Humanism.  We need to fight against changing our history for freeing our doubts of the past.  We need to build on the great accomplishments not defeats.  We must go forward with a strong offense and not give into the ploys of just playing defense.  At this point we are behind in world affairs because of the demise of the nuclear family. That teaches work ethics, patriotic love of country, respect for the police, the rewards of schooling, pledging allegiance to our flag and officials,  We must avoid divorcing ourselves from providing for all lives matter. If prone to excess., Jesus says cleanse thyself.
