You call the middle of the road delusional. Why? Because we can see issues on both sides with equal clarity? Believe it or not, there is a working philosophy that moderation in all things is a plan that works. I don’t classify myself as right, left, or middle; but I do see the value in not taking things to the extreme.<br /><br />If you were to label me as a moderate due to this practice, that’s fine but I would take exception to the description you so conveniently provide. I am most definitely not spineless. Nor am I unwilling to fight for what I believe in, unproductive, in possession of a sense of superiority, or “ravage the pockets of the dead”.<br /><br />There are, undoubtedly, many others like me who work hard, sacrifice, and are all about commitment. We just don't feel we have to wear our hearts on our sleeves to show you what a great job we're doing.<br /><br />So, we either don’t fit your cozy little package or your description is merely an easy way for you to dismiss a very large (read majority) amount of people who are willing to let extremists rant without getting too bent about it. Or does that sound too non-committal for your taste?

YABUT what about when the brain damaged, psychotic, intellectually lazy name callers are right?<br /><br />To paraphrase Judge Roberts: "If the idiot wins, it is because he is right, not because he is an idiot."

Re: I've noticed a trend...

You are all a bunch of pukes and dummies, and liberals cause you don't think like conservatives, and hate because you don't love like liberals, heck some of you even might not care if your neighbor is a minority and what is that all about, and oh yeah what is a minority, and liberals want more gov. and laws but conserv. want law against abortion and therefore liberals are baby killers dah duh dah. A few good clear rational thoughts would be great.

All those on the right… all those on the left… all so wrongheaded.

Close, but no cigar.<br />It's a matter of an identity crisis.<br />The Democrat thinks he's progressive. <br />And the Republican thinks he's conservative. <br /><br />At least the Democrat is consistently left leaning.<br />The Republican can be anywhere right of left, but not quite conservative right.

Well, I’m taking the cigar anyway… the sky is blue and the jack is in the trunk and I haven’t seriously dinged my prop. That answers your point with equal clarity.<br /><br />What about my point re the delusional and often infuriating middle-of-the-road moderate?

<br /><br />I independently think,...that you nailed it inthesticksnow! only a conservative could love you after the summary,he,he...
