The Moderate's Club

[kiwitt]

As requested here

From Wikipedia

In politics and religion, a moderate is an individual who holds an intermediate position between those generally classified as being left-wing or liberal and those seen as being right-wing, conservative, or fundamentalist.

If you find yourself sometimes agreeing with the "Right" and sometimes the "Left", you are not a fence-sitter, but a moderate. i.e. you can see boths points of view. If you can see both sides of the Left and the Right. Place yourself in this group by asking for admittance.

If you like Think of yourself on a scale of 1 to 9 with 1 = Liberal and 9 = Conservative (1-3 Liberal, 4-6 Moderate, 7-9 Conservative)

Request to "Moderators" can you make this thread a "Sticky" for a month or so.

[Kagemusha]

Would you count me in too.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

This would have to be named the moderate clubII as I started one over a year ago

You have since started the "Conservative Club" ?!? Generally considered be on the Right. You would like to join this one and resign from the Conservative Club

[Gawain of Orkeny]

You have since started the "Conservative Club" ?!?

No i started all three , conservative, liberal and moderate clubs at the sametime. Of course the libs compained that they wouldnt use a club I started so they started their own. The moderates used their for a day or two. Again only the conservative club has remained a constant. You should have seen the post count in the original one.

[kiwitt]

OK. I'll keep you out of this one.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

Well Im certainly as moderate as Red Harvest so why do you want to keep me out?

You said

No i started all three , ...

Membership to the moderate club is restricted to people who specifically ask to be admitted. I await that request.

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I await that request.

And wait you shall

You see I at least am honest about where I stand. We all think we look at bothsides and are moderate in our views except maybe Navaros and Jag. But I believe even they think theve looked at bothsides and thiers is the only logical conclusion. Moderate means either you blow with the wind or your a liberal. Now I would consider the DON to bea very moderate person but with a definite conservtive vantage point. I doubt he will want to join your club though as us conservatives are damn proud to be called Conservatives.

[Papewaio]

I would like to see the Jag and Navaros bookclub or the Jag and Navaros Counterstrike Team.

They are the Orgs odd couple...

Moderate means either you blow with the wind or your a liberal.

Spoken like a true extremist.

Didn't take long for this to become a thread about Gawain, now did it?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'm not sure I agree with your definition of moderate.

[Red Harvest]

Yep, Gawain is an extremist. Anyone to the left of him is a liberal in his book. Finding someone to the right of him is a challenge.

Please define moderate.... I am a bit lost on that one....

If the extremists of all parties (left, right, pro-gun, anti-gun, etc.) tick you off, ou're probably guilty of being a moderate.

If listening to eco-nazis makes your blood boil, you're probably a moderate.

If listening to theocons makes your blood boil, you're probably a moderate.

If gross slanders of wide swaths of the citizenry tick you off, you're probably a moderate.

If simplistic agendas that consist of blaming all the world's ills on a single cause or group strike you as childish, you're probably a moderate.

If the politics of outrage and victimization (right and left, respectively) make your teeth ache, you're probably a moderate.

If you believe that no human institution should be destroyed or subverted without a clear understanding of what function that institution was serving, you're a moderate.

If the extreme Right and extreme Left seem to blend before your eyes into a single ugly animal, you're a moderate.

I could go on ...
