Reading The New York Times opinion piece, We Need a Second Party I was struck by the following in the comments section:

We need the democrats to return to being moderate, they have moved way to the left.

If you think the republican ideas are radical, what do you think of the democrats....

The republicans are what the democrats used to be. Both parties have changed, one moved to the center, the other to the left.

I know I shouldn't be so astonished, but the idea that some peope consider he G.O.P. more centrist than they were in the past just floored me. At what time did the Democrats resemble modern Republicans? During the Southern Reconstruction?

Lunacy, sheer lunacy.

This is the world he wants
Pray for the brave and the young
He knows they're not coming home
