“Moderation in war is imbecility”- Admiral John Fisher
Likewise, moderation in politics is imbecility.
Moderate means Democrat Lite. Moderates always move the country to the Left, never to the Right. Compromise always seems to mean give the Left just a little less than what they ask for - never give the Right anything.
Moderate is bad and is truly what is bad about American Politics because its always one way - just a little closer to Leftist victory.
You can be fervent in your beliefs and yet moderate in the way you express them.
