40. They hold right-of-center positions on foreign policy and economics.

And compared to foreign policy and economics, everything else is a safe, bourgeois side issue. Economics and foreign policy are where we LIVE...they are the things that shape our lives and either fulfill or crush our dreams.

What matters is who is to have the say about whether the resources and wealth of this land and the world are to be used for the good of the many or the good of only the few...and whether we live in a world or war or of peace.

If you are "centrist&quot or, more accurately, moderate-to-conservative)on economic policy, foreign policy, and military policy, you believe that war is our destiny and that the world exists mainly, if not exclusively, for the good of the few(and you identify with those few, even if you have nothing in common with them and no real hope of even coming close to becoming one of them).

All issues outside of those three are, in terms of their real effects on the larger pattern of our lives, window dressing. It's a more bearable world if the progressive positions on the other issues prevail, but it doesn't really change anyone's lives or break anyone's chains, if at the same time the status quo on economic policy, trade, the role of the U.S. and Europe in the "developing world" and the size of the war machine are all accepted without question.
