Of all of us here, who is the most moderate?

I consider myself to be a moderate but I'm not sure if my posts reflect that . . .

The guy with the face gets my vote

Isn't most moderate a bit of a contradiction in terms? :D

Aren't they called liberals?

Aren't they called liberals?

In the U.S. we are.

In the U.S. we are.

So then why does everyone call liberals leftists? We're not called leftists in Canada.

In the U.S., centrists are somewhat to the left of the mainstream economic views, so they're called leftists. In Canada, which is somewhat more socialist than the U.S., centrists would not be called leftists because they are not to the left of the mainstream.

somewhat more socialist?

somewhat more socialist?

Yep. The U.S. has a fair amount of socialist policies.

Programs:

Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
etc.

Regulatory Agencies

FDA
FHA
EPA
etc.

There are probably over a hundred more that I haven't mentioned.

I'm not being sarcastic.

Me.

I give all the right to fight for a women's right to choose.

I give all the right to fight against abortion.

Let the fights begin, with the winners being called "winners" and the "losers" being called "losers".

Let the winners fear the losers, because losers hate winners.

Let the losers fear the winners, because winners have power over losers.

Let somebody be there to tell me how the other fights are going, while I deal with my own little battles.

Yeah,.... Gold Medalists from Everywhere..!

"And everybody hates the Jews..." : Tom Lehrer tune of old.

Uhhhhhhhhh... I'm dizzy. NEVER cross international (or even STATE/PROVINCE) borders while taking the rectal temperature of a tornado..!

It just causes hurt feelings....

Just tell me what you think of cloning bunnies for medical research and I'll tell you what alignment YOU are..!

my nation ranking says im a centrist

I! I am a Centrist! BELIEVE ME OR DIE!

Almost half of my posts have bashed both Bush AND Kerry. That must make me a moderate!

...Or an extremist. I'm not sure which.

Most moderates are called liberals and conservatives by the other side that they are arguing with automatically. I consider my self a moderate conservative because I hold beliefs in conserving all freedoms without the exploitation that both sides try to do to our freedoms (even the ones I personally disagree with). I think both the republicans and democrats should just use one symbol for both of thier party's in place of the jack ass and elephantitus ass, *the 'polar' bear* since they are both so close minded when it comes to another's freedom and choose to polarize themselves from thier fellow Americans, and they are quite mean spirited about it.

I! I am a Centrist! BELIEVE ME OR DIE!You have made a stupid post.
