I am a moderate only by average. I am extreme in my opposition of government control over our personal lives, and I am extreme in my support for individualism and liberty. About half the time I come down on what most wrongly consider the far right, about half the time on what most wrongly consider the far left.
(However, I consider all such distinctions artificial. Each action we take can either expand liberty or contract it. I know which one I prefer)
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
