What a bunch of crap. Like for instance the guy basically says there is no single truth then later says the important thing is the search for the truth.

It's the same old nonsense of trying to make "moderates" out to be these, wise, thoughtful people who see the complexity of the world that others don't see.

It's much simpler than that. Moderates in the political sense are people who don't know what the hell they want. They don't have any core principles. They just blow along with the wind looking to be seen as "enlightened" at any particular time.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

You're basically saying what the Bible said a couple of thousand years ago
Do NOT search any further for answers - they're all right here

and then the Koran a few hundred years later

Don't spend any extra time thinking about things

This thread delivers!

Pwns and CID are making a whole bunch of sense. BDK and JSO are extremely honest.

JSO, there are very few core principles other than liberty... :nod:

BDK, a black and white world view is not virtuous. :nod:

I don't know. But, the truth usually likes in the gray.

That probably makes me a homopussyfaggot. :oops:

Moderates don't want big government, which is exactly what the Reps and Dems represent. Lets make laws to prevent this and prevent that, or maybe require this or require that. These all take away from our freedoms to do what we want within reason. Moderates may be okay with a little tax, not a large tax, or minimal restrictions, not a complete ban.

David Brooks is redefining himself. Time was, he called himself a conservative. Now he wants to be known as a deep-thinking, dispute-resolving, good-deed-doer.

In short, the Wizard of Oz.

Think you're confusing moderates with libertarians..The 2 aren't necessarily the same.

What about conservative on social policy and liberal on fiscal policy?
Depends what they want to liberally spend money on. If it's foreign aggression they're frequently called Neo-cons.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

That's funny stuff coming from the guy who claimed to be an arch-conservative and then not only was against Trump (certainly not a mark against you) but was actually for Hillary and everything she stood for. Talk about blowing along with the wind, that's like blowing along with a hurricane.
