Is This Really the Time to Be a “Staunch Moderate?”
by Karen Kataline
In a time when alphabet agencies are being weaponized for political purposes, open censorship of dissenting political opinions, and a media that now brands opponents of the Left as “extremists” and “terrorists” to justify what could be even greater abuses of power against targeted groups, is this really the time to sell the idea of being “staunchly moderate?
Greg Simmons founded a group called “Staunch Moderates” and still hopes to sell the idea of moderation and compromise. But compromise with what? Is it possible to compromise with Communism? Even if it were, would that stop the march to Marxism and authoritarianism we are currently watching in America or would it serve to hasten it?
Has history ever taught us that those who are willing to use force and coercion on their fellow countrymen are willing to compromise? Does the intolerance for dissent ever yield “tolerance” and moderation? How do you define an “extremist?” Is that anyone who voted for Donald Trump? One who flies the Gadsden flag? Wishes to preserve the Bill of Rights? Loves America?
Who gets to decide who are the extremists? Those who are working diligently to undermine America and “culturally misappropriate” it so it will be more amenable to globalism and Marxism?
On this link is a two-part discussion with Greg Simmons, founder of “Staunch Moderates.” The interview grows heated in parts but hopefully, that’s still allowed in America.

To the Left a Moderate is a Classic Communist. Today’s Left really want’s Feudalism.

Never compromise with people who want to make you their slaves. If anything I think it’s time for all people, no matter their political affiliation to look at what’s best for their families and ask themselves, Is weaponizing government agencies going to help or hurt me, are poor political policies making it hard to live/survive because of high prices across… Read more »
Your comment nailed it!
The “moderates” I have known are people that do not want to take any uncomfortable positions. They are firstly concerned about how they appear, to family, friends and work associates. They are classic risk averters. Repetition tends to work on those people, for example, CO2 causes global warming, and many other things.
