MICROEDITORIALS
“Moderate” is a polite word for coward, indecisive or low-info types. Centrists enjoy an ill-deserved reputation for political maturity. They should stop flattering themselves. What they really are is extremists of the center.
It is well established that the Left is attempting to move society forward and the Right is attempting to return society to where it was some time in the past.
The Center, occupied by non-thinkers and people too lazy to form their own opinions, is for the status quo. Where we are right now is the political ideal! No one needs any more rights. Nothing needs to change. No injustices need to be addressed. The march of civilization that has taken thousands of years to get where it is now, conveniently needs to stop right now!
A ludicrous thought. But that is what the political Center votes for.
People in the Center are cowards.
They are sheep
They don’t want to offend, or to think. They have no opinions of their own. They agree with the last person with whom they spoke.
And they presume that the Center is safe.
How can anyone criticize a Moderate?
Easily, it turns out.
Moderates are the casualties in all conflicts.
They are the enemy of both the Right and the Left.
They are without morality, conscience, principles, or common sense.
They are like a stumbling drunk in the middle of a highway, at risk of being run over by cars going in both directions.
