Ken Kuffner speaks at a Coffee Cup Citizenry "C3" meeting
Your Radical Center
 
 

The Radical Center is a third way philosophy. The goal of the third way philosophy is simultaneous affirmation of both sides of an apparently contradictory issue. A radical center approach toward any argument or body of facts is one of accepting the possibility of multiple truths living side-by-side. To be radically in the middle is the place of paradox. Is it possible for persons with different truths to co-exist in a respectful manner? Can I, an individual, have multiple truths co-exist within me and remain true to myself? This paradox is at the heart of freedom and democracy  

The Chadz definition of a Radical Center is focused on the individual rather than a body of knowledge supporting a Middle Philosophy to prove a specific point. What is your radical middle? Do you live from an authentic center expressing your beliefs, talents and goals? This is the Radical Middle that the Chadz are interested in. While the creators of the Chadz have endeavored to remain apolitical, it has become glaringly obvious that anything involving politics or the polis cannot remain apolitical. While there is a Radical Middle or Radical Center politics, it is not the intention of the Chadz to support a Centrist political party. However, the Chadz will cheer you on if you do. The Chadz cheer all political parties right, left and center. The Chadz strongly encourage you to reflect on [in] your middle and not just the right or the left.


A bi-partisan system polarizes citizens and destroys unity. The Chadvocates invite you to co-create the Chadz  site and its content. Give us your definitions of living from the center of who you are. Healthy democracies require participation and education of its citizenry. Read the evolving definition of “Radical Center Activism” and make your contribution.


Radical Center Activism supports the following;
• Maximize citizen choice, individual empowerment & human potential
• Facilitate greater involvement in the political process
• Have "Objective" discussions without a focus of winning or converting
• Build character  & promote citizens to make conscious moral choices
• Build "Community & Consensus" by co-creating reciprocal relationships
• Possess a foundation of "Traditional Values" & "Common Sense"

Tolerance of other people’s shortcomings and viewpoints [awareness of my own] and respect for other's opinions is an attitude which makes the individual in a free society more useful to others and cements the virtues inherent in a "Durable Democracy.”
