OK, I take back what respect you earned earlier.

You believe the world is only two pat packages, conservatives and liberals. No other possibilities. Nothing in between. Nothing moderate--oh, I forgot, moderate is conservative to you. The definitions of conservative don't even matter to you.

Your world is a simplistic place. It also doesn't exist.

I didn't think you'd have anything useful to say.

Thoughtwise, a dead end road. That's the trouble with simplistic views, and that's the trouble with your left/right paradigm.

Right now people are mad at insurance companies, the banks and they are willing to entertain government solutions for their problems because corporations screwed the pooch.

thats the problem with amercans today, they think in terms of government by government not government by the people.

just give em a beer a boob tube and let the government figger it out.

Can't get past it... The electorate voted Liberal... the reason makes no difference whatsoever. You are officially a minority conservative...at least until the next election.

How people vote is the only measure

Thank the Mods that the thread can go on, I think its a great thread Muse, honestly. There was a kind of a "you DOG" moment there because of the way you started it, but I believe that the questions raised are fair.

Regarding the post I'm responding to (quoted below) Lets define "the center". If the United States is a center-right nation, which it is, then the "center" for the United States would be center right, which is right where I am.

I established in another thread that more Americans by a good margin define themselves as conservative than liberal. Do you recall that thread Muse, wherein you demanded my source and I happily provided you with the link to Gallup?

The center, here in the United States, is Conservative. Not far right, but center right. And the collarme crowd is a lot farther to the left, there's no doubt about that I don't think.

I dunno whether you can say where anyone stands. If you were to take Sanity (or almost anyone else for that matter) and plunk him in the middle of a PETA meeting, he'd be a diehard reactionary conservative. Take that same person and plop him in a Tea Party bunch, and he'd be a flaming liberal. In other words, I consider political leaning to be relative.

Agreed...people are ripping it up big time to the points that the courts are whining that they have to many cases to handle as the number of cases against gov has drastically increased

My original point in all of this, starting on the original thread was that even though Liberals such as Muse are constantly trying to paint Conservatives up as some kind of a fringe group thats way out on a limb somewhere, the opposite of that is true.

Thats the real reason behind Muses' temper tantrum, deep down inside I think he knows I'm right.

bang on, and.....its based on immediate community, and traditions.... so anytime peeps claim someone holds a position its always referenced to their perception of their own position.

Bottom line meaningless.

Why are you being such an asshole now? Things were going well.

You've run out of points, so now it's twist and slam.

Your argument is self-contradictory. Getting cute doesn't change that. It isn't even relevant to the thread directly.

Start a conservatives are taking over thread if you like. Enjoy.

Whenever you have nothing to say, you invent positions for me. When you're unable to discuss my actual positions, that should tell you something.

I'm center-right, just like most of the rest of the U.S.

After post after post of Conservative views, Sanity has converted to middle America.

Please welcome him, and fill him in on the reigning moderate views.

In all seriousness---how do you characterize moderate views? What are these?

Let's get a list and a discussion going.

Really didn't have time to read this whole thing, Sanity is center right, if any sane person (no pun) read his posts the could clearly see that.

I believ I am center right as well... Against the death penality, pro prison reform, angainst manditory miniums, a believer in government regulation, pro most affirmative actions measure, union member, could easily find common ground with homosexual civil unions if they would just drop one word from the debate for a few decades...

what makes a poster Center btw???
