Yes that is extreme, it's what you find on DU. Therefore, DU is an extreme leftist board.

Check in if you are a moderate
Fickle (moderate) - changing frequently, especially as regards one's loyalties, interests, or affection.
quote:
Fickle, inconstant, capricious, vacillating describe persons or things that are not firm or steady in affection, behavior, opinion, or loyalty. Fickle implies an underlying perversity as a cause for the lack of stability: the fickle seasons, disappointing as often as they delight; once lionized, now rejected by a fickle public. Inconstant suggests an innate disposition to change: an inconstant lover, flitting from affair to affair. Capricious implies unpredictable changeability arising from sudden whim: a capricious administration constantly and inexplicably changing its signals; a capricious and astounding reversal of position. Vacillating means changeable due to lack of resolution or firmness: an indecisive, vacillating leader, apparently incapable of a sustained course of action.

I'm not at all, I enjoy coming here. But I know exactly what it is, a forum for extreme conservative views.
I see this board as conservative for sure, but it is not "far right"
it is a conservative board where far right opinions are tolerated, huge difference
you mention DU, that is actually a radical far left board, not only are conservatives and moderates banned, but so are left wingers that are not radical enough
YES, liberals are more heavily moderated on this forum, but they are not flat out run off and denied a voice
like I said, HUGE DIFFERENCE

Thanks, I think you'll see that's why I get under so many poster's skin in here. Facts are facts, we can argue what they mean, but you'll be hard pressed to see me dispute reasonable established facts.

I'm checking in to say no....I'm not a moderate.

We're not really disagreeing that much. Yes, DU sucks because it doesn't allow for views opposing the Democratic party (it's their right, I just don't like it).
Even if liberals were banned from posting here, I would still see the views posted here as far right. I'm glad there's a place I can come to get out of my DC bubble and see what my homestate is thinking.

I tend to think I'm somewhat far right and that most of the board is pretty mainstream right and moderate.

Does the term reference the furthest fringe reaches of the Right? If so, the forum as a whole does not really qualify, though there are certainly individual posters who easily fit that definition. The furthest Right quintile of the GOP? Maybe.
When limited to Left/Right, one-dimensional analysis, I tend to group the landscape as follows: Extreme-Left, Far-Left, Left, Center-Left, Center, Center-Right, Right, Far-Right, Extreme-Right ... with distribution on something resembling a flat-topped bell curve.
On that scale, I see this forum as straddling the dividing line between Right and Far-Right, with a disproportionate dose of Extreme-Right posters and VERY few posters left of Center-Left.
And site admin tolerates behavior from the former which is decidedly NOT tolerated from the latter. It is what it is.

Leftist...Tax the rich and build a 100 foot bridge to cross the river.
Rightist...Too expensive. We can continue using the ferry.
Moderate...Let's compromise. For 1/2 the cost we can build a 50 foot bridge halfway across the river.

Leftist...Tax the rich and build a 100 foot, 4-lane, divided bridge to cross the river.
Rightist...Too expensive. We can continue using the ferry.
Moderate...Let's compromise. The crossing does not have much traffic, but it is increasing and is projected to continue. For 1/2 the cost we can build a 1-lane, 100 foot bridge, with one-way access from each side controlled by a traffic light.
Neither of you clowns is happy, but this solves the problem

How do you have a civil conversion with people who accuse you of being a Nazi? There is no civil conversation with that type of scum.

Social issues like welfare , food stamps , Section 8 housing , foreign aid , illegals etc... cost money.
I think when most people say that, the social issues that they are referring to are abortion, gay marriage, and marijuana. If they are fiscally conservative they look at food stamps, welfare, and section 8 housing as a fiscal issue, not a social issue.

I am a moderate. Some people would like God to destroy all the liberals. I only want God to destroy most of the liberals.

Both tried destroying a country.... different methods

Agree with all of this.
I find the love of Trump on the board one of the most interesting topics on TDings. It's a helpful dose of reality outside my every day 'bubble'. I have very few people that discuss politics in my circles and, if they do, are 99% derogatory towards Trump.
With that said, Trump as a political ideology doesn't fit in a box of what has historically been liberal or conservative. He has re-written the 'rules' and built an extremely loyally following (e.g., as demonstrated by the downvotes on any poster mentioning something that is not fully MAGA; his continued amazing attendance at rallies).
