Okay, Maybe we're not that far apart.
I wonder:
Are moderates moderate because their beliefs really are a blend of liberalism and conservatism?
Or are their convictions really a result of that age-old desire to be liked by everybody?
When I behave in a way that is wrong, sure enough a friend will come along and say, "Dude, you're screwin' up!".
Do I appreciate his observation? Well of course not.. At least not at first. { That mirror can be such an annoyance! Especially when our accuser is right.}
Are the current liberal juggernaut our friends, or are they our enemies? Is labeling them as enemies of the concepts this country was founded upon evil? Is evil even evil? Is good still good?
I think they tend to be people who don't think about politics a lot. They believe that society has a list of problems and that it is the government's job to fix them. If the Republicans are the ones advocating a government program to solve their pet problems then that is who they will vote for. If it's the Democrats, then they get the vote. To me it seems that the word "moderate" is a euphemism for authoritarian".
