Welcome to RifkinRadio.com!
Thank you for coming to my radio website.
For those who’ve listened to me over the years, you know the way I conduct my program and I will do the same on the website/blog.
It is a place where we can all exchange ideas and discuss things that have been on my program or are in the news.
As you know, I’m one of the more difficult to broadcasters to describe from an ideological perspective, as I hold views that are at times more liberal and other times more conservative.
I like to call myself a ‘flaming’ moderate. And as I’ve said to you, more people fall in this range than radio likes to recognize.
All of this has been confirmed by a new, substantial survey from the Pew Research Center which indicates that the country has not become more liberal or conservative despite recent Democratic pick-ups of the Presidency and the Congress.
As I’ve said and the survey emphasizes, it is dangerous for the Administration and Congress to go too far left lest they turn off voters who are in the middle looking for reason and common sense in the country’s policies.
America is a very tolerant and forward-thinking country, but its people are also rooted in very traditional values which we hold dear and it is those values which no Administration can trample or devalue without facing voter wrath down the road.
The survey indicates that the GOP was rejected more for poor performance than for its positions on key issues.
So, the results hold out great possibilities for the party that understands that while the American public is not locked into the past, it still wants to take its values of thrift, hard work and fairness into the future.
It will reward politicians who advocate moderate social policies, sound defense strategies and fiscal responsibility.
So which will it be? The swaggering and cocky Democrats riding high these days or the dispirited Republicans who find that volcanic center where most of us who want to move forward have always felt most comfortable. And as the survey points out, centrism now makes up the largest proportion of the electorate in the last 70 years.
And it’s where muscular moderates like Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy found their large support.
Greetings once again. I hope you’ll join me in that vibrant center and on the radio and right here as often as possible.
Many thanks to Jon Kroffsik for helping me get this site up and running.
Hope you’ll post a response.
Take care,
Larry
