It's time the word "moderate" get a negative connotation.
In the politically correct world, moderation has been portrayed as a sign of wisdom, a sign of compassion, of tolerance and understanding.
And with Republicans always getting such a bad rap. Is it any wonder that we "just want to be loved!… is that so wrong?"
Answer: YES! You're job is not to be loved, it's to be respected. It's to stand for your core beliefs what ever they happen to be.
The stark reality in life is that you will never please everyone.
You will never have everybody love you.
You will never have everybody agree with you.
Politicians who try to curry favor via poll pandering raise the red flag, of a sure fire sign that they don't belong in the Republican party.
My mother always said "compromises get no standing ovations."
Indeed moderation is nothing more than weakness of character.
A core value is a wholly polarized principle. It has everything to do with certainty, and is the anthesis of moderation.
Are you moderately against rape? If so where is your compromise point?
Are you moderately opposed to domestic violence? If so, what would be moderately reasonable? Should anything up to a mild beating be acceeptable?
Are you moderately committed to protect your children against harm and danger?
Are you moderately faithful to your family?
Are you moderately committed to follow and safeguard the Constitution?
The Republican party is in desperate need of culling the RINOs from it's flock.
The Republican party must unabashedly govern and lead with the certainty of it's Republican principles and core Constitutional values.
Since the beginning of time, history has proven unequivocally that:
The strong survive. The moderate and the weak don't.

I could NOT agree more. In a sad, woefully misguided attempt to be treated more fairly by the MSM, to be more appealing to younger, more modern voters, the Republican Party decided to take a left turn and be more, "moderate." In doing so, they drove their core supporter away, well, in "droves."
Their real success was to completely disenfranchise their conservative base, abandon their core principles and, in doing so, caused enormous indifference. Voters, given no real choice of ideology to vote for, just stayed home.
We've all become familiar with the expression, "Liberal or Liberal Lite." Well, many Republicans became the "liberal lite" and the few who tried to adhere to their core conservative ideals, with seemingly no real support, became completely vilified. The very label, "Conservative" became much like calling somebody a dirty name. It didn't help having a president in office for eight years who insisted on taking the high road. In his refusal to defend himself against his perpetual attackers, he remained forever the gentlemen but he also left us all hanging out to dry. Another unintended consequence of Bush's passive approach was to see the office treated in more profound disrespect then ever before in our nation's history...or at least in MY lifetime.
The current set of "cullions" (or "manjigglies" if you will) Republicans are developing I tribute directly to the force and fortitude of the Tea Party. The TPP are what used to be the "silent majority" who, fed up and furious, have at long last stepped up, found their voice and, as a long supressed emotion, is pouring forth. As they say, while the Left may have bigger mouths, Conservatives still outnumber and "surround them" and, now that they have found their voice, never to be silent again.
