Odd that I'll basically be voting for a moderate Republican this time around.

In reality?
There is no such thing.

Are you saying that there is no "Grey Area" ?
You areeitherwith us or against us?

One cannot have an opinion of right be wrong - you think what the party tells you you should think, or you are not part of the party.

How fascistly educating.

What a lib loser! Everyone knows that the only way to avoid a stinking turd stew of a planet is to dump pollutants in the water and air, remove all the clean-air and energy efficiency requirements, flatten all the mountains and valleys, fill in all the streams and cut down all the forests. That will clean things up in a jiffy.

Since you literally just said that you know who he is and how he thinks I guess that makes you a liberal too.

For some reason

No
I am saying his actions and accusations indicate this....

And what exactly do you think he's basing his judgement of you on?

(BTW, actions? How do you know what his actions are? Are you stalking him, are you psychic, or are you just demostrating the same arrogance you claim is the domain of liberals?)

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

No
There are areas that some can say are in the middle.
They are those who are left in one area (say spending and the size of government) and right on another (say social issues)

So these people are not really middle grounders but rather they appeal to someone who has a particular issue that is important to them

None of those are true and even you know it.

So you know what he is thinking. Fine. Don't get upset when people know, with just as much certainty, that they know what YOU are thinking.

Correct.

All we know is the persona you have projected on this forum for a dozen years. For all we know you might really be Kim Jong-Un's sock puppet. It would explain the grammar and spelling.

There seems to be more and more in common between the far right and N Korea. Pretty soon they'll be calling for a border wall with landmines and armed watch towers. The front runner is already barring any media that won't sing his praise.

By reducing nearly everything to a right/left axis (as exemplified in the post this replies to), you simplify things enough to render them unlike anything real.

E.g., I'm assuming that you feel that small government is strictly a "right" value, and things like respect for Christianity and its stated values in institutions (like schools) is also a "right" value.

So the person you refer to as a special-interest person, with leftist government size and conservative social leanings, all of a sudden, instead of being worth listening to, or considering, is simply a caricature based on your impression of, most likely, just a few things they've said.

Because, after all, once they've disagreed, they're obviously leftists, and once they've agreed, they're obviously rightists. So what do you do with a Muslim who believes in small government, religion as a guiding factor in their life, thinks overt display of homosexuality is wrong, and thinks it's appalling when women get pregnant out of wedlock?

I think it's better to assume that everyone is more complex than what first comes out of their mouths, rather than less so.

Easy! They don't exist. At least until such time as they can be labeled hypocrites, then they will be called liberals by the right and conservatives by the left.

One of the (many) cool things about a career in a university is the diversity of faculty and students that we see. I had many Muslim colleagues, most of whom had escaped Iran in the 1970s. Very smart, very nice people, strong believers in western/American values. Also had Turks, Iraqis, Egyptians and Jordanians on the faculty. I consider all of them my friends.

I played competitive volleyball for 35 yrs. I played with Russians, Ukrainians, Iranians, Belorussians,
Columbians, Mexicans, et al. They all worked for Intel which is the largest employer in Oregon.

To a person, they were very nice, were glad to be here, and only wanted to fit in.

There was not one of them that I would not invite to my house.
