I think it is a matter of perspective. You think you are "middle".
Folks way out on that right hand side can barely see you, so to them you are "left". Folks way out to the left hand side can barely see you, so to them you are "right". At the moment, the loudest voices have shifted decidedly right. It used to be the middle right would shush the far right when they got too vocal. It was embarrassing for them I think. Now, they cheer them on. (Same goes for the Left). I think the entire country has shifted markedly right after 9-11. I know I have. And everyone I know has. Just a couple of slots. What was dead moderate has become moderately conservative (I know I am mixing conservative with right wrongly). Still a wacky lefty to my dad. Still goose stepping a little too excitedly to my sister. Cherac makes me mad, and I actually listened to Newt for a few minutes yesterday. Look what "they've" made me do!

But you CAN say "I'm against this war and NOT pro-Saddam". Unless you you're gung-ho and rah-rah on this your labled a liberal anti-war nut. The middle's become the extreme in America today and that's scary.
