I doubt that's accurate. I doubt you know any real progressives. One would make your head explode <g> I don't agree with much of progressivism.

And yet for my entire life, I've been a typical moderate Republican, aligning with the political beliefs of the moderate Republican candidates, never voting for a Democrat based upon my views, and I still hold those very same beliefs. Fiscally conservative, socially generous.

To me, that shows where the political spectrum in this country has gone - far to the right. And most professional politicos agree with that assessment.

Daily Kos and Daily Beast don't generally have the hate of Red State, but it's there. You skip those parts, and stick to the better objective writers, not the crazy anarchists and loonies of the very far left, or the right at Daily Beast, or Red State. I've linked plenty to Daily Beast, but never found anything worthy at Red State.

Your continued cheerleading of Mr Obama's economic policy belies your belief that you are a fiscal conservative.

You have made a blanket statement that is inaccurate. I have supported some of Mr. Obama's economic policies, and not supported others. I am still, and always have been, a typical northwest suburban Chicagoland moderate Republican.

I know you think you know my lifetime political stances better than I do, but I'll go with my own experience, thanks :-)

When you agree with 98% it kind of skews you one way. But it is a free country and if you want to believe you are a moderate Republican go right ahead...

Does that mean my radical leftist views are ok?

Sure. It is a free country and at least you admit your views for what they are.
