Centrist compared to what? First learn what the term means and then get back to me. In any event, you can't even see the center from where you're standing.
While I've no doubt Gayfly loves being between the cheeks; I was talking about his political views, which are no where near "centrist".
America's "flaming liberal" is a rather ordinary Canadian. Canada UN R/P 10%: 009.4 UN R/P 20%: 5.5 UN Gini: 32.6 CIA R/P 10%: 9.5 CIA Gini: 32.1 A fairly leftist country, particularly considering that government expenditure as a % of GDP is close to the US's.
I don't think anyone would disagree that Canada's right is left of America's right. It's about context.
It is a question of context and perspective. You are quite far to the Right. Therefore, anyone who is not as far to the Right as you are is, by definition, more left. And since you are so far to the Right, anything approaching the center from either side looks like a flame to you, while the truly far left would appear downright nuclear from your vantage point.
