Umm, the Republican Party goes WAAYYYYYYYYY to the right of Yoni. I'm not sure he's even in the more conservative half of the GOP. He just uses fiery rhetoric a lot.
Would Yoni maybe qualify as a right-moderate libertarian pro-defense extremist?
Uh Dan? Why don't you respond to my post questioning your stance on what you stated earlier? If your stance is middle-of-the-road and you stick with it, it's still your stance.
OMG! Somebody's chasing their tail now!

Dan. Read. Learn.
Oh, and User, since I'm older than you are, I do remember what 102.7 used to play...a long time ago. And no I didn't listen to it!
That's about as much as I'm going to dignify that.
Nbadan's world is interesting. If you oversimplify and rank people 0-100 on political views, with increasing numbers being more conservative, Manny is like a 30 and Yonivore is maybe a 65. Yet Manny is "middle of the road" and Yoni is a "right-wing extremist."
In order to have that kind of extreme myopia, one seriously has to be so far out on the fringe as to be in danger of falling off the edge. Nbadan's opinions are about as relevant to the political debate on the left as Fred Phelps is on the right.
Dan, please come back and answer my question.
I thought Yonivore was a libertarian?
I consider myself a conservative liberal democrat.
That is why I like Henry Cuellar.
Well, yeah, he is. Libertarians are a branch-off from mainstream conservatism, but I humbly suggest it's fair to say he's to the right of John McCain but to the left of Kit Bond.
Isn't "conservative liberal" an oxymoron, like "hawkish dove," or "big-government fiscal conservative," or "pro-life abortionist?"
Well, I have some liberal views but I'm also not a left-wing whacko either.
Like this not being able to pray at the Alamo. WTF is up with that!?
I don't think we need to go and remove any religious symbols from federal buildings or anything like that but I also don't agree with a judge dropping a ton of rock to display the ten commandments is necessary either.
Maybe I'm a liberarian and don't know it?
I just don't consider myself one label or another. If I'm pro-choice does that mean I can't be a conservative republican like Arnold or Rudy?
The word for that is "moderate."
Those guys are moderate Republicans.If I'm pro-choice does that mean I can't be a conservative republican like Arnold or Rudy?
There is more than one kind of conservatism.
Fiscal conservatism promotes a smaller government with lower spending and lower taxes.
Economic conservatism promotes less government involvement in business practices and the national economy.
Social conservatism involves government promotion of traditional social values.
Foreign policy conservatism covers a wide range from Buchananite isolationism to Kristolite interventionist neo-conservatism.
And even I am oversimplifying.
dan, you have no business starting credibility threads....
I consider myself as a moderate Republican but often get labled a neocon because those far left individuals love to label anyone being a Republican as a neocon. In my mind Ted Kennedy is a far left liberal and Joe lieberman is a moderate liberal.
I think we have about three-fourths of the country where political debate occurs within a general consensus about what America is and what it is supposed to stand for. Disagreements are about ideological differences stemming from agreed-upon American values, and upon particular issues. However, some of the most strident people are those extremists who deep down don't like America very much, and want the country to be fundamentally different.
On the left, that is the extreme leftists who don't like that America is capitalist, that it is at least nominally Christian, that it does not follow Europe's cultural example, and most of all that it is very powerful. They want a Marxist, rigidly secular, weakened America that follows Europe's lead, and detest the American people because most of us reject that.
On the right, that is the hyper-fundamentalists who don't like that America doesn't mandate fundamentalist Christianity, that their churches cannot dictate policy, that America has any secular culture at all, and that it does not go out and either kill the heathens in other countries or force them to convert. They want a Dominionist, rigidly theocratic, conquering America that follows Biblical law as interpreted by the fundamentalists, and detest the American people because most of us reject their religious views.
The most liberal member of the Senate does not fall under my definition of "extreme leftist," nor does its rightmost member qualify as "extreme rightist."
But in terms of political rhetoric, those are the groups that have us all screaming at each other. And the Democrats are hurt more by their extremists because they feel like they have to kiss their asses more for whatever reason.
Dan why did you drop this topic? You constantly prove here that you are just a propaganda machine and nothing else.
Me thinks that you just listen to SA talk radio too much and you can't differentiate between extreme-right and moderate thinking anymore. Who does the left have? Michael Moore? The right has Limpballs, Insannity, Drudge, Coulter, Savage, Shnit, Glenbeck. Oh, there are many more idiots on the right.But in terms of political rhetoric, those are the groups that have us all screaming at each other. And the Democrats are hurt more by their extremists because they feel like they have to kiss their asses more for whatever reason.
when you count the voices in nbadan's head it all evens out
Careful there kitty! He'll throw his 285 lbs. on you and squash you!
Sometimes you have to listen to the little man inside.
Bump.
Interesting radio discusion in this thread. Particularly in regards to ClearChannel.
