Skep 41 --- Moving Towards the Center

Hey, buddy. I have always thought you were a hot-tempered, crackpot extremist. But then one of our mutual pals told me you had become a radical moderate. I was worried about this, so I raced over to Skepville to see what was going on. What I found was the funniest, loopiest bunch of brilliant satire I have ever read. Someone else tipped me that you claimed to be the hottest blogger since Adrianna Huffington. Well, the HuffBabe ain't much, so you sold yourself short. Actually, you passed this b%@#h several laps back. I am going to spend more time checking you out, son, because I got a lot to learn. Keep up the great work. Your loyal fan, Verne Strickland aka RANT BRAZEN.

Verne kind of summed it up.

However comma I am going to retain my RWE status just to be contrary.

Brilliant blog post, Skep!

Oh Noooooooo!

Skep, have you become an Obamanite?

What did I do wrong? Where will I go? What will I do?

(Insert Skep41's answer here: "Frankly Ghost my dear, I don't give a damn!")

Good post Skep. I enjoyed your sarcasim, as you "threaded" your way thru the "pitfalls and pleasures" of moderation.

BTW, I keep forgetting that you are a writer in the Socialist Paradise of California. Have you every given thought to being a Radical Rightwing Extremist writer in the Bitter, Gun Clinging, Bible Thumping area of the country?

I heard someone describe Colin Powell, Juan McAmnesty & his daughter, Meghan McNuggets and others as COMITTED Moderates?!?!?! How in the name of the Emperor of China can a MODERATE be COMITTED?!?!?! Powell is interested in his LEGACY and is trying to erase any vestiges of his link to President Bush. Juan McAmnesty is all about Juan McAmnesty. Meghan McNuggets is a typical 20 year old who THINKS she knows EVERYTHING actually knows NOTHING and will spend the next decade charitably giving away her IGNORANCE!

Moderation is for people who like their oatmeal plain.

Verne aka RANT

My commitment to moderation isnt that strong, I find. I'm drifting back towards the right. I used Arianna because I've noticed that every article in the Drive-By Media about blogging spends 90% of its column space on Huffpo, Salon, Sullivan and Wonkette and I wanted to be in that exalted company. Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah. The madness has passed and I'm wandering back into the RWE camp with bloodshot eyes, a pounding headache and a hangdog look. I hope my moderation bender didnt make me do things I cant remember and have to live down for years...they're talking about suspending my copy of The Constitution for a year.

Move my wife away from my grandchild? Not going to happen. Also starting a new career at 57 would be tough, especially in the Age Of Hope And Change.

Meghan is just being a good dutiful daughter, nothing wrong with that.
Colin's LEGACY? Would that be talking Caspar Weinburger out of a retaliatory strike on Hezbollah after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut?
Leaving Saddam in place to murder the Kurds and southern Shi'ites in Iraq? Convincing W to pressure the Venezuelan military officers who staged a coup against Hugo Chavez to release him unharmed? Encouraging that maggot Armitage to set up Scooter Libby?
Nice legacy.

Yeah , we did that

Well we did that Dem wet dream for the GOP and got our head handed to us. After all Skep, the liberal mentality is irrational and one psychiatrist months ago, himself a lib, said that liberalism is a mental defect. I loved that but of course, the MSM did not cover that. Drop by friend.

I never thought that you were hot-tempered, a loony crackpot extremist certainly, but never hot-tempered.

What did these Captains of industry think this guy was going to do? Who coughs up that kind of jing without knowing exactly what he was really planning?

The thing that really frosts me is now I have fight to save these idiots from themselves just for my own self-preservation.

Now THAT's not FAIR!!!

Good stuff as usual, Skep!

Absolutely Brilliant!

Living on the left coast in So cal, we are an endangered species.

One must have a sense of humor out here to remain "centered" (in a good way)

Excellent piece of writting!

Keep the faith!

Well skep you've almost got me

convinced to moderate myself (would that be called "mastermoderation?). I guess that means that I should drop off a couple of extra handguns and a coupla hundred rounds of ammo at the local handgun shelter and trade my Lexus for a smartcar fortwo. When Colin Powell morphed from being a U.S. soldier to a black politician, everything changed. Now he's like Megan McCain who gets pi$$ed when someone doesn't know "who she is." I'm no longer sure that I know where either of them stand on the political continuum, but if either is now classed as a "moderate," I don't want to be in their company.

Obamunism? LOL! Perfect! We’ll move left and become moderate Obamunists.

Love your style…

There are some interesting challenges to the Old Bulls. Rubio challenging Crist in Florida, for example. I think we are on the verge of taking our party back. All the RINOs are migrating towards the left with the Obamunists.

There are doctors and hospital administrators who are standing next to Barry as he nationalizes their jobs. Arent there enough Canadian MDs in this country to talk them out of it? The more 'education' you have the more vulnerable you are to this idiocy. Wall Street supported the Dems. They forked out big bucks to Obama and Schumer and now they're surprised that they're a bunch of commies. Rich people should not vote revolutionaries into office. If they'd studied the French Revolution in their elite universities instead of taking Ward Churchill's 'Yankee, The Enemy Of Humanity' class they might know the consequences of out of control government spending.

Yeah, these guys from Mississippi and Indiana arent going to experience eighty-mile-an-hour bumper-to- bumper traffic in a state where you'll be able to buy a hash-oil saturated joint of master-kush cloned indica buds at 7/11 and fire it up as you climb into your eighty-ton-load twin-semi. Think of the great tax revenues we're gonna get! Want excitement guys? Move to Cali!

IMHO Powell is another Clinton type who has a PATHOLOGICAL desire to be liked. Aslo as a Black Republican, he was taking flack on a daily basis. Not justification, just explanation.

You have a gift! You`re right up there with Iowahawk! You understand moderates? Okay, Skep! But please, don`t put yourself in the same categories with Colin Powell and the daughter of John and Cindy McCain. Unless you get the keys to the brewery and invite us all for a kegger! Cheers!
