Many people think the moderates should run the country. They wish for a stable balance of power between the left and the right, with the wise middle leading us forward toward in an era of political peace. In this golden age, negative politics will be a thing of the past, as wise old middle-of-the-road pundits do "fact check" analyses of every campaign statement, allow only those judged truthful and unoffensive to their wonderful sense and sensibility, and allow only those politicians to serve who bow to their great god of moderation.
But all you get from such moderate politicians is self serving, self aggrandizing, power-seeking, finger-in-the-wind adaptability . Like this. Charlie Crist doesn't know what he thinks, beyond thinking that he'd like to be elected again.
There's no substitute for the open cry and clamor of the clash of ideas, with the people forced to choose between tyranny and freedom, the left and the right, the darkness and light.
You must not hide in your home waiting for someone else to make the decision for or against more central planning and less individual economic liberty, because you won't be able to hide from the consequences of their decision.
Now is the time to gird yourself up and go out into the darkness. Put on your buckskin and your feathers, go down to the harbor, and throw the left's stupid economic ideas into the bay.
