I'm not convinced that it's possible for anyone to be truly "centrist". What exactly does that mean? I suspect that most people tilt one way or the other depending on the particular issue under consideration. The term "moderate" is probably a more apt description since it suggests a person who is not a die-hard idealogue from either end of the spectrum. In the end, a claim to be a centrist is one of those nuances we keep hearing about, which are designed to avoid really advocating any particular position at all. But then again, I could be wrong. It all depends on the reaction to my observations<g> ___________________ I would note that some of my observations have been known to provoke group vapors; however I recently offered to license use of that expression to tom clarke for 50 cents a week, although he has heretofore not responded to the overture<g> Message 22008431 Message 22008267

I do not use childish techniques to try to ridicule others by changing their name. You would be well advised to demonstrate more maturity in the future. Perhaps you resent being banned by Dale. Perhaps you resent having your status as being far left of mainstream demonstrated. Whatever your problem is, get over it and grow up.

For starters, his name is Dierks, not "Diersky". Secondly, if you AREN'T right of center, you are going to jave a tough life on this thread. If that's the case, I'd suggest you find another playground because this crowd is going to beat you up.

Let's see, banned by X (a wild-eyed crazy leftist), Dale Baker (her puppy dog), Mephisto (if she hasn'r joined the Communist Party, she should), YlangYlangBreeze (a rather foul-mouthed leftist when she was here), Thomas M. (Huh? There's a question here?), Poet (HEY! She STARTED the Left Wing Porch, ferchrissakes!), and August West (doesn't count; he started the thread just to ban people who dared post there), it would appear the Left considers you a rightist. OTOH, I notice you are NOT banned from PGWB, RWET, or any of the other right hang-outs. So what's your plan now? Get banned by everyone?
