Moderate WHAT?

The headline says, “Republicans pick a moderate to head party.” “Moderate” is a “descriptive.” Moderate does not describe what kind of a politician he is, unless you’re a Democrat trying to label the other side and make them accept it. It’s a little like being “moderately pregnant” or “moderately dead.” Liberal and conservative are opposite poles. There can be no “moderation” as applied to a conservative or liberal. Either you ARE one or you are the other. If you are what Democrats CALL a “moderate Republican,” you’re a liberal. There is no “in between.” Michael Steele is CALLED a “moderate,” but is a pro-life Catholic and an advocate of limited government and lower taxes. That doesn’t sound like their idea of a “moderate,” to me. This is how the liberals make fools of us. They con us into using THEIR labels, and soon we find ourselves nodding our heads when they try to con us. I’m not a liberal OR a conservative. I’m a “rational individualist.” I’m NOT a “moderate rational individualist.” There is no such thing. (One News Now)
