I reckon most of us represent the "extreme fringe"- thank GOD - because of our support for the 2nd amendment.When that subject is off the table,I wonder if we are all as right wing as is commonly supposed?<P>There are a lot of social issues and economic issues that define us politically.IT would be interesting if one of you more learned types- I mean that sincerely - would post a few questions on here that we could answer to ourselves and rate ourselves as 1 thru 5 perhaps on the political spectrum.<P>I know CAT can do it if he will and I know there are others on here similarly qualified. Any takers?<P>------------------<BR>Boone and Crockett was rednecks

Ah hell, I'm all over the map. A strong belief in the 2nd amendment makes me a right winger. Strong belief in the 1st,4th and 5th makes me a liberal.<BR> <BR>I hate to be the "sensitive Californian", but labels can be utter crap. There are Democrats in office that I would consider allies, and Republicans that are definitely enemies (McCain for example).<P>Then there's Jeffers...<P>Scott<P>

Whatever it is,<P>� If the Bible says I should be for it, I'm for it and not moderately.<P>� If it's in the Constitution, I'm for it and not moderately.<P>� If it's logical, I'm for it and not moderately.<P>� If it's fair to everyone, I'm for it and not moderately.<P>� If there's sound middle ground (0) between extremely liberal (-) and extremely conservative (+), I MAY be there (moderately), in the door that leads to conservative.<P>� If it's purely imaginary "middle ground" (no 0 between - and +), that's no place for anyone with brains and guts. Or me.<P>� Neither the extent of its popularity nor who it's popular with is (by itself) worth honest weight of acceptance or rejection.<P>� If it's illegal, immoral, illogical, unjust, stupid, or unfair, I'm ag'in it, and not moderately.<P>� If it's fattening, I'm probably addicted to it � and not moderately.
"Good enough" isn't.

Ken,<P>Well stated, as usual. I concur whole-heartedly with those guidelines, except for the issue of legality. <P>If it's illegal, I'll still evaluate for myself whether or not it deserves that label, and act accordingly.

Every place I look today Ken has already been there, and said it way better than I could ever hope to. Once again, all I can say is AMEN KEN!!<P> BTW, You ever thought about running for office?<BR>7mmbuster
