Obvisiously you didn't read Caitlyn's post, warning Michael he will be morderated, recieve a warning and be gone off the forums, how she'll miss him. I was referring to the warning...no desent....I'm not smoking anything; but you must certainly are eating the Rep. Bush sh-t.


I must have not read Caitlyn's post either. I didn't see anyone warn Michael. I only saw someone state that he will probably get himself moderated soon, or get a warning and then leave. I said it because it has happened before, and the conduct that made it happen, seems to be repeating itself.
 
Past that, the only purpose for the entire exchange, was to make the point that if he gets moderated, or leaves, he will be unable to make any points to anyone.
 
Life as a political moderate ... the right accuses you of being in the left, and the left accuses you of being in the right. How charming.

Once again you are confronted with someone who reads without comprehension.

My personal favorite is when somebody quotes something I said, but then fails to comment.

Maybe it is just me, but I seldom think I say things that are profound and meaningful.

I made a post once.  Was rereading it and realized I was in error.  So I edited the post about 15 minutes later, corrected the error, and put a "edited to correct whatever the error was."

A fellow poster who tends to try to pick fights with me quoted the erroneous post and tried to pick a fight.

All within the 15 minutes between posting and fixing the error.

I get in fights and argue with people for a living, this is my vacation, so I did not bother to respond.

I think of moderates as neither right nor left, but I do think of them as wanting to preserve the status quo, meaning that if anything they would be conservative more than liberal at the core of what they believe. No rocking the boat, no "way out there" changes from the present course, no upsetting their apple cart for change unless it is directly impacting them and their pocketbook. Trying to find the middle of the road because they fear going too far in either direction and what they perceive as threatening, which is "radical" change. The curious thing I have seen in the time I have been watching the political scene is that "moderate" has been drifting right, the media defines what "moderate" means.

I define myself as more radical because I am not afraid of change if it will mean that we will have more freedom, a more sustainable lifestyle, and a better future not mortgaged that my children and grandchildren will be paying for. I am not afraid of socialized medicine, alternative fuels, an economy that is not based upon fiat currency and not morgaged away with mountains of debt. I am not afraid of these things whatsoever... so I consider myself radical.

Most likely etc...........

Again, why would Michael be moderated, or warned about what he said??????  Can you answer that?

You know, I just asked my Daddy if I could have a new profile and he said "no", because juliaoceania is his strumpet... I wish I could start with a clean slate too

Status: offline 		That categorization is probably accurate for some, but has nothing to do with my position.
 
I'm highly liberal and radical in some ways ... and very conservative in others. The bottom line, is that I strongly agree with about 50% of the platform of the Democratic, Rebublican and Libertarian party, and completely disagree with the other 50%.
 
When I view a candidate as moderate, I see someone that at least has a chance of finding that middle ground between competing factions. It's the only position that makes sense to me.

I'm sure you can read the TOS.
 
I think if you have been here long enough, and are the sort of person that speaks your mind, you will eventually get a warning. I have received several warnings. I can truthfully say that I have been warned twice in the past two weeks, by a moderator ... once for something I posted (I said it as a joke, but obviously someone didn't think it was funny), and another time, for inserting a gold star within a thread.
 
A person can take offense, or be open minded to the people that own this website (where they allow us to participate, free of charge), and apologize for making their job a little harder.

Status: offline 		I call that independent Caitlyn, at least if you were not trying to find middle ground between competing (or I would argue noncompeting) factions. One only has to look at how third parties are denied a seat at the debates to understand how the republicans and the democrats divide the pie between them for a more predictable outcome. They are not moderate, they are just smart. Why share power more than two ways? How do we keep the status quo by finding "middle ground". I am very jaded about politics... no third parties means that the system is easier for the rich to control.

How I would love to see a strong third party ... or ten for that matter. I have only been able to vote in one election, and only voted in four races. In two of the four, I was voting against someone, as opposed to for someone, which I find very sad.
