Are there any moderates left?

Obama is not Jesus. Obama is not the anti-christ. Please help this moderate from going crazy.
I feel as though I'm surrounded by people in tinfoil hats. Both the right and the left. I keep getting into arguments with everyone and am starting to wonder if I am the crazy one. On the one hand we have the Obama is socialist argument. On the other, any criticism is met with name calling(racist!). I don't know what to do. People in my world don't seem very reasonable these days. Should I avoid politics for the next 4-8 years?

This post was deleted for the following reason: I appreciate you're in a tough place but you're asking a very wide ranging group of people a question where you basically exaggerate the positions of both sides and then sort of end up without a real question. Maybe try again next week? -- jessamyn
