Cartoon by Pat Bagley


"So, Republicans, I say: Do not give in! Do not compromise! Do not seek some middle ground between right and wrong. "
-- Abraham Lincoln,  Speech  at Cooper Union, New York City February 27,1860

"I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth."
-- Jesus, Revelation 3:15

We are advised that moderation - being lukewarm - in all things is somehow desirable. I beg to differ. In today's political terms, the word signifies nothing less than waffling - seeking a mythical middle ground between right and wrong.

It is a popular concept in today's political world - widely praised by a corrupt mainstream media that long ago abandoned the principle of morality which holds that some things are inherently evil by their very nature while others are by their nature good.

In the eyes of the media, those who term themselves moderates are preferable to those whose views are considered extreme, or in other words immoderate in that they clearly chose right over wrong. If you accept the truth that killing an unborn human being in its mother's womb is nothing less than callous homicide you have abandoned the moderate position  that the right of choice strictly inures to the mother who is here and now and visible rather than to the infant  in her womb who can been seen only by ultrasound and whose continued existence remains a matter to be decided by an society enlightened by its worship of convenience.
