This is another revision to my ideology
graphic. I believe this one more accurately reflects what we have
today. Some might be confused by where I placed the perceived
moderate. I believe most people fall in that category even though
they might think they are more to the left. Most people are sadly
driven by party instead of personal beliefs. Most people vote for
whom they believe cares the most for them.
Because the US Constitution by which
all other laws are measured, that should be the moderate. Because too
many people no longer care about the Constitution, I have placed it
on the edge of moderation. The Kennedy administration is a good point
to begin the modern moderate. He seemed to try to adhere to the
Constitution, while his party might have been more progressive.
Because of the FDR period it was impossible to move Kennedy farther
to the right because of his connection to the Democratic Party.
