We've all heard the fallout from the mind-numbing Liberal/Conservative debate. Both sides have been perceived to hold, at one time or another, the dominant position in our society. And yet we've come to a point in time in which this "debate" no longer describes the divisions. Our labels have been used and abused for too long, and we must, therefore, look elsewhere to lay out the field.
Fundamentally, the debate is not between Conservatives and Liberals anymore. The debate now is between True Believers and True Doubters. These fringe elements occupy opposite ends of the same continuum. The Rational Majority, the other group on this continuum, is stuck in the region between the warring camps at the fringes.
