@parados,
If you want my opinion on what you are, I will offer it. Of course, I do not know you personally, I can only guess by judging your online personality and posts. I perceive you as very far left, and perhaps you know that Obama was no centrist, he is a Marxist sympathizer, and you support him because you have similar beliefs. Marxism is rooted in emotion, not reality however, as it takes root in people that think life is unfair, the system is unfair, and they are looking for a power that will make it fair. And since they have a minimal belief in God, they look to government as the ultimate arbitor of fairness.
It is further true that hard core leftists that believe in leftist philosophy also rely upon their crusade to use the large numbers of people in the middle that do not have much grounding in one philosophy or another, to capitalize on whatever discontent and feelings of helplessness that they may feel, to draw them into the camps of the hardcore left. There are many ways to do that, but some include the portrayal of an ultra leftist as being a centrist, a bright young new hope, as Obama is, and another way is to use the media to hype how bad or how miserable things are on many fronts, such as when Bush was in office. The left used the press to demonize Bush in regard to the economy, Gitmo, the war, on and on, and they were able to spin many things in order to do that, essentially lie to do it. In a previous election, you even had Dan Rather, a major news anchor, directily involved with making up fraudulant stories and broadcasting it days ahead of an election in an effort to alter a federal election, which is a felony, but nothing happened, nothing.
So Parados, I will stick to well thought out and reasoned conservative political philosophy that works, just as it works in my own private life, don't spend more than you make, practice personal responsibility, work hard, and so forth.
