dont' read stuff into my post and try to make it out to be more than it is.

So since the Communists are left of the socialists who are left of the liberals who are left of the Conservatives, if the Communists are happy then everybody must be happy?

I guess when your standing out toward the fringe, the center looks far away indeed. The actual political (but still mainstream)right must look like Antartica.
The wording alone is a bit of a tip off that theres a mite of prespective skewing going on,"New Empire Judeo-Christian Radical And The Lamb Opened the Seventh Seal Armageddon-Survivalists With Tinfoil Hats Etc." The opposition is always painted in broad brushstrokes with neon colors, but in fact, the outgoing Administration were garden-variety conservatives. This country wasnt even close to being a totalitarian state under GW Bush for all the hyperventiating. Plenty of room to his right. Plenty. Keep going, in fact, and you meet the extreme left, it hardly amtters at that point.

As the moderator of this forum I ask that everyone remain respectful towards one another and stick to the topic at hand. I have no problems whatsoever of locking this thread indefinately, reviewing all posts and culling out the offending ones while the rest of you cool your jets.
Gary created this thread hoping to start a friendly conversation- not as a means for some of you to take cheap pot shots at each other. Either get along with each other, or refrain from posting in here. Otherwise I will lock this thread without warning.
Thank You.

And isn't it funny? Once upon a time Republicans could be Progressive (think, Teddy Roosevelt).

actually there was a named "progressive" movement that was initiated that Roosevelt was part of, and its goals were governmental reform and the reduction of the dynamic of the two prevailing parties.

And Teddy was a "Trust Buster," too. Compare that to the current GOP's big-business *ss-k*ss*ng.
