I have tried to make that point several times - that the definition of "center" has become so skewed that we really don't know where the center is anymore. Never made it quite as well as the writer there. Love the Garrison Keilor quote.
This reminds me of the test someone posted here recently that measured our political values on two axes. As Rob likes to point out, the definition of conservative nowadays is nothing like its classical definition. The meaning of left and right is also vague. The test at least provided us with a more accurate description.
I picked up a book at the thrifts by, of all people, Patrick Buchanan. He takes the Neocons to task as unrepresentative of true conservative values. I doubt I will agree with much of what he says, except that the current "right wing" is entirely insincere.
Regards,
