"Radical Centrist"


I heard the term "Radical Centrist" for the first time, yesterday......So I now have a term to describe myself in terms of political ideology...

How would I describe it's meaning?

Well, I firmly believe that both sides are right,, and both sides are wrong....And I refuse to choose the wrong side.

It simply means that one is firmly set in one's centrism.

It means a radical aversion to commitment.

yes it does...

It's an aversion to commitment of someone elses commitment.
And that aversion.....is my commitment.

I do not have to make the choice of paths that lead Right or Left. Like it's the ONLY choice I have.....I can not be directed.. so I am directionless.. I cannot find the hope in the destination that each path leads.. so I'm a hopeless

I am the captain of my own ship....that may seem to you, to go nowhere.. but to me... can go anywhere

Not to me.. it isn't an oxymoron..

You speak of the Radical right or the Radical Left.... like they are opposite ends..

Let me inform you... THEY ARE NOT OPPOSITE ENDS....just different point of view.

Now come the Radical Center.. that has a third point of view... that can be just a RADICAL to the hatred of ends.. as the ends are to each other.

I ain't a fricken standby centrist.. and just let "you folks" fight it out... and then accept the consequences... My view is to make sure... neither of you win...And I'm "RADICAL" about that.... Just like your opposite of them.. I'm opposite of both of you.
