Just look at how extreme the positions of the left-wing are!
Our extremely wise television pundits who never get anything wrong have had a great deal to say about just how extreme the far left really is.

Just look at some of the extreme positions held by the left in America today.

These people actually have the nerve to call for health care for all our citizens. Why are they so unwilling to forget about the children who are not getting care for their illnesses? If these radicals get their way it is possible that some of the great people who run the insurance industry might have to sell of one of their luxury sports cars just to make the yacht payment on time. How dare these people suggest that it is a moral obligation to help people in need, we all know that helping people is wrong. We are supposed to let them just lean over grab their bootstraps and pull themselves into the air, screw gravity! If these people would just be willing to give up on the idea of health care for everyone and let the poor suffer then they would be much more moderate.

The far left also has this extreme idea that peace is a good thing. That's right, they actually believe it is wrong to drop bombs on a nation just because that nation never attacked us. They just don't understand that freedom isn't free, if you want to free massive numbers of people from life effectively you have to spend a lot of money on bombs. Of course just because we want to spend a lot of money on bombs doesn't mean that us Republicans should have to pay for those bombs though, we need a tax break. Just because freedom isn't free does not mean we can't put it on our credit card, I am sure our grandkids will be more than happy to cover our debts later. But the far left thinks making our grandkids pay for our fireworks show in Iraq is wrong, they believe that we should be throwing our money into ineffective big government programs like education instead. They would be so much more moderate if they were just to be a little bit more like George Bush and be open to bombing anyone.

The far left even has the crazy idea that people deserve to make something more than a poverty wage when they do the most pleasant jobs in America. They don't realize that cleaning toilets, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, cooking greasy foods, and cleaning up after the person who just puked in the aisle at the movie theaters are jobs that don't require any effort. Everyone loves to do those jobs, and we need to save our money to make sure the people who do the really tough jobs like reading the Wall Street Journal get paid well. That is right, if we pay the person who scrubs the toilet then we won't be able to pay the person who does the much more important and difficult task of watching the numbers tick up on Wall Street so they can go collect on their stocks. The far left would be so much more moderate if they would just say "screw the person who washes the dishes" and stopped supporting a higher minimum wage.

The far left has some very extreme ideas dealing with the environment as well. They actually believe we should do something about global warming. I mean just because we are in danger of a global catastrophe does not mean we should actually do anything about it. They would be so much more moderate if they would just let the sea levels rise a bit higher, after all who needs California, New York, Florida, or any of those other places along the coasts?

And the far left even has the nerve to be politically correct. Why can't they just be politically wrong like us Republicans? The left needs to be wrong more often, because us Republicans have been saying for years it is not good to be correct politically or correct in any other manner for that case. The left actually even had the nerve to be correct that there were no Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, when all the pundits insisted there were weapons there. That was a very extreme position for them to be correct on, and that puts them out of touch. These people better start being wrong more often, because there is no way our highly esteemed pundits will ever be able to call them moderates if they keep being right all the time.

So get stupid lefties! Start being wrong! Stop caring about people! Drop bombs on innocent civilians! Follow that advice and one day you will be a moderate, just like Joe Lieberman.

4. We even believe that birth control should remain legal, and that consenting adults should be
able to make their own decisions about their own lives. We believe that Science FACTS, like the FACT that the Earth is 4.7 billion years old and the FACT that life on Earth evolved by natural selection over that time, should be taught in science class. We're crazy enough to believe that the place for organized prayer is in church, and not in public school.

We're so "wacky" we think that the Bill of rights, the Constitution and individuals' civil liberties are to be respected and honored, not ignored, mocked, and shat upon.

5. I know, I am telling you that you need to be more of a moderate
If you just rip Constitution a few times you will be somewhere between those loony leftists who think it should remain in tact, and us right-wingers who believe it should be sent through the shredder and made into confetti.

And don't bother with those facts, if you live by half-truths you will be right in the middle of the spectrum between fact and fiction. As the pundits say we need to move to the center, so stop thinking and get over there.
