ratbastid, TFP had a lot of support of Kucinich and a good number of 9/11 was a massive set up people. Those people are the loony left. Otherwise point to me calling moderate TFP members loony leftists.

See, I think pretty much ALL human beings (and no, I don't think there are exceptions) think that their views are right and true, and that anyone who disagrees with them is wrong and probably stupid. And since MY view is the RIGHT one, it's obviously middle-of-the-road and reasonable and centrist. And most people (certainly most SMART, THOUGHTFUL people) agree with MY view.
I think that's just human nature. I think to say, "Well, not me. Nosir, I don't do that," is the height of self-delusion.

My view is the correct one, that doesn't make me a moderate. Being a moderate has pretty much nothing to do with being correct about anything, its simply a measure between extremes.
