Welcome Back!
Your posts have been missed. Maybe we can get this forum rockin' again.
A question asked by roachboy in another topic:

on an unrelated matter (feel free to respond in the moderate thread, if you think it a better place): what exactly does being a moderate in the present american political context actually mean?

I believe that this is a very important question in that this forum has devolved to one of two positions; "looney left" or "righteous right" both of which are ideological extremes. I would suggest that many people that visit this forum are not of either extreme, but are certainly judged as one or the other on no basis in fact.
Speaking for myself, I am a fiscal conservative and a social progressive. I do not fit in this imposed dichotomy but rather a political belief structure that I consider crosses both parties. There are several FC/SP's here, but we tire of being labeled and summarily dismissed by the ideological extremists.
I am hopeful in that some of the moderate conservatives are beginning to post here again. A more balanced discussion can only improve this forum.
