Political Moderation

Politically, I am moderate. I dislike the bossy, scolding political correctness of the left-wing. I dislike the hierarchical, but also self-pitying, self-regard of the right-wing (people one of whose first reactions to the massacre in Colorado is to worry that the government will take away their guns and Mitt Romney flattering their paranoid fantasies of being all that is between a world of serious civilization and Stalinism by condescendingly pronouncing that gun laws will not stop bad things! Bah!).
