I ,also, am new but I have not recently had an accident that resulted in an extreme blow to the head or taken
a lot of mind altering drugs that would lead me to beleive;

The brainwashing of America has been a complete success, too many Ditto heads to count led by CAD & Co.

There is a diversity to the forum that can't be catagorized by simply left or right

It would be more like;

Left
wrong
uneducated
misinformed
stuped
independent
blind
pissed
religious
radical
sane
insane
flipfloppers
azzholes
and on and on and on...........

and then there would be a catagory defined by its description "the right"

😀😀

Mainly because all the lefties have "Given up looking for work" and spend all their free time here.

That's right. The right is far out numbered here. Maybe all the people on the right just don?t post much.

So true though. The liberals are just sitting at home collecting that unemployment and posting all day.
Well at least according to you Officerheadupyourass!

Ozoned: Couldn't have said it better
 
I was born a lefty but my grandmother converted me to a righty early on because she believed lefties were the work of the devil. (I'm not kidding.)

🙂

Oh, you mean politics! Well I have a left handed son who is a libertarian and a right handed son who is a conservative and a no-handed daughter (teenagers won't lift a finger, let alone a hand) who is a liberal.

Me, I'm a communist. 🙂

I don't respect people who just play devil's advocate and don't express their opinion. That's intellectually dishonest.
How is being a Moderate not expressing ones opinion?

Have you ever tried to support your opinions with arguments, instead of just bloating something out?

They don?t know what they think. Moderates are too wishy-washy.

I'm sorry. I'm missing your point here. I guess what I was trying to say was moderates are just in the middle and are not sure what way to strive... can't make up their minds.

Not actually, Moderates might have conservative attitudes about one issue and a Liberal opinion about another. Even though I can't stand Bush I don't consider myself a Liberal nor a Conservative. I think most Americans actually are Moderates.
 
Lefties? Righties? Feh.

No one appreciates the ambidextrous anymore -- so supple and unpredictable. You never know which hand they'll give your opinion the finger with. 😀

I agree. Lets take this a bit further. I think some people are too stupid to breathe. I have a certain "moderate pragmatism" about it though. I could take a "hardline" approach, and shoot the dumb bastards 😛

I don't like you? Pop! Right in the nose! That country offend me? Let's go to war!

A moderate isn't one who advocates NO action, but rather action IF indicated and proportional to the situation.

Politically "Fierce Moderate/Independent" That means I think the 2 party system is a disgrace and feel that the majority of people are sheep..... Uneducated sheep - just following whatever is put before them to believe without actuallly looking at the bigger picture and only buying whichever "party line" they choose.





Cheers Mike..... :beer:

Exactly. We should all be frothing at the mouth in our attempts to convert the US into either North Korea or Taliban Afghanistan.

Not really, it seems so serious without the smileys. Got something else?

 
Socrates, who taught Plato, said, "Everything in moderation".

To Riprorin, this sounds just plain stuped.

Rip fawns at the feet of the decisive. So, folks, let's start a Hall of Fame of the bold and decisive!

I'll begin:

Adolf Hitler
Josef Stalin
Mao Tse Tung
Benito Mussolini
Atilla the Hun
Jeffery Dahmer
Rush Limbaugh
Pontius Pilate
Lemmings (very decisive about cliffs)
Joseph Mengele
Joseph Goebbels
Saddam Hussein
Any two year old you care to name.
Kenneth Lay
Riproin
Slobodan Milosevich

Yup. Men of action, all. Not a fence sitter or moderate pragmatist amongst the lot.

You forgot Ronald Reagan.

Let's all worship at the altar of indecision and equivocation!

So if you are not a "moderate" (care to define what you think that means), you are Adolf Hitler. hahahaha

I've already defined what I meant by "intellectually dishonest". Go back and look it up.

Unfortuntately, I don't think there's an avatar to fit you. 😉
