I'm outraged that you said this. :angry:

And thus another phony moderate is exposed as a disgusting fake moderate!  We will drive all you fake moderates from our ranks or die trying!

Nah, he's right.  Some people will get worked up over anything. 

I would agree with the general idea that political extremists get overwrought about anything relating to their political views, but outrage isn't limited to political extremists.  Look at Timmay--he's not an extremist politically, but almost every news article he posts shocks or outrages or disgusts him.

I'm so far left, I've come back around on the right.  It's the syndicalist in me.

It works both ways.  It seems a lot of Americans view themselves as more moderate then I would have guessed.

To an American, a moderate is typically someone who supports candidates from both parties. To many foreigners, a moderate is someone who wouldn't dream of voting Republican.

To me a moderate is guy without principles that flip flop at the drop of a coin. Like Berkut.

It I'm baffled that people vote for this guy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

:pinch:

I don't see Siege as a supporter of a scumbag like Bibi, though.  Maybe someone to the right of Bibi, but not Bibi himself.

Hypothetically if both parties are far right what does that do to your definition?
:huh:  He didn't give a definition for anything.

I see, he merely stated his view of what the word moderate means to an American and what the word means to many foreigners.  No, not a definition.  More like a description of meaning.

I see, so you are arguing that if he had said "to an American, June is typically a warm month" then he would be saying that the definition of June is "a warm month."  The word "definition" is used weirdly by you Canadians (and no, I am not defining "weird people" as "Canadians")!  :lol:

Still pockets of those people that have not gotten the memo.

Which is kind of funny, since my over-riding theme throughout my time at Languish has been to point out that the partisan's don't actually have principles at all, beyond "my tribe".

It is, in fact, the complete lack of actual principles that is, so far as I can tell, required to be a Party member that means I can never really embrace either party truly.

You, for example, are completely lacking in actual principles. I've never once seen you call out your own party for violating it's own principles.

Really? Berkut is your big example there?

To me a moderate is a guy who voted for Cruz and then regretted it.  Like Valmy.
