Mindmeld, > If you fall within what 67% of Americans believe, then you are a centrist.

So you support poll-driven leadership?

Most Americans want lower gas prices. You don't. Extremist.

Most Americans don't want to nuke Mecca. You do. Extremist.

Most Americans believe in God. If you don't, you are an "extremist."

Most Americans say they want to reduce global warming, but try telling them to give up their cars and carpool. Or giving up their homes and living in apartments within walking distance to their workplace. Or imposing a London-style tax on driving in central LA or Manhattan. Or telling them to turn off their air conditioners during the hottest days of summer.

You are fooling yourself if you think you are a "centrist." Just because you think a majority of Americans believe what you believe doesn't make you a "centrist." It only makes you too scared to believe in anything that might be unpopular.
