President Trump should meet the moderates.  For decades, the conservative movement has demonized all non-conservatives as far Left liberals.  America functions best when representatives of all groups have a seat at the policy table.

The motto on the seal of Georgia reads “Justice, Wisdom and Moderation.”  In Philippians 4:5, Paul wrote  “Let your moderation be known unto all men.  The Lord is at hand.”  I understand the passion and extreme energy of the young adults on the left and right; I was once them.

However, two things should be known about my “peeps.”  We stand on the shoulders of southern Blacks who simply wanted a fair opportunity in America.  Secondly, we grew up during the preppy, conservative Reagan and Cosby Show era.  I am trying to say that most Blacks who actually vote in the South are moderate to conservative and the best representation of our viewpoints would be Blue Dog Rep. Sanford D. Bishop of Georgia…the last of a dying breed.  We need to export Bishopism like we ship out peanuts and hip hop.

As a longtime member of the House Agriculture Committee and/or the House Appropriations Sub-Committee on Agriculture, SDB knows the importance of a balanced Farm Bill, which outlines U.S.D.A. programs.  President Trump’s budget takes to these programs with a chainsaw rather than a scalpel; he is doing what he said he would do.

U.S.D.A. programs impact every American because we all enjoy a safe and affordable food supply.  Food assistance programs provide temporary help to those between jobs for various reasons.  Yes, moderates agree with conservatives on the issue of able-bodied adults who want help because they are too cool to flip burgers or pick vegetables.  They should go to work but no reasonable person wants to see hungry kids.

So, some low income people are too busy to vote but these cuts would hit them hardest.  Team Hillary couldn’t get that point across?  We need regular folks talking with regular folks about the reality of the Trump deal.

The Blue Dog Democrats are the remnants of the southern conservative Dems after many took off for the Republican Party.  Well, the GOP finally has a president who will do whatever their base wants.  Of course, the few moderate Republicans can’t stomach Trump’s drama.  At the end of the day, we have loud people on both extremes but the moderate middle/center sways elections.   The moderate majority of the Democratic Party needs to stand up before Trump’s movement drives this nation over a cliff and before the Sander’s liberal wing take over.  Oldheads like me are concerned with Sander’s benefits first mentality but he knows now to check Wall Street.
