Further Thoughts on Republicans Versus Democrats

The reactions to various observations on the political state of our country have led me to make some more observations on the violently different political parties, and I can officially delegate politically active people into five categories.  You know where you stand
1. Extreme Democrats - The extreme left winger is very easily identified.  An extremist for the left wing side starts to read something conservative, even if it's moderate enough to see things objectively, up until the point that he sees somethinge he doesn't like, ignores the remainder of it and publically attempts to ostricize the author without having all the facts.  Even if the article, or web post is written moderately to the left, as soon as he sees something from the conservative point of view, it's time to take the author to the cleaners
2. Moderate Democrats - A guy who's only a touch to the left wants to change the world, but sees the conservative side, and can take it into consideration. Moderate lefties are generally quiet, preferring to do something quiet and behind the scenes.
3. Moderate Republicans - While the views can be similarly classed to the moderate democrat, just on the opposite side, Moderate righties are very different.  a moderate conservative wants to keep things the same, class systems, jobs, etc., but realize that some change will be necessary to accomplish his goals.  Moderate conservatives tend to be outspoken about their views, a trait that comes with the conservative territory.  Many moderate conservatives hate to be associated with their extremist counterparts, but share similar views on government goals
4. Extreme Republicans - Extremists to the right side publically attack their opponents with little to no credible information.  They have their own goals and don't care about what anyone else has to say.  Tea party members are a great example of this.
5. Independents - People who claim they are an independent are normally an extremist to one side or the other who don't want to be judged as an "X" wing nutjob.
We all have our faults, including myself, I classify myself into the moderate conservative class.  I read as much as I can from both sides and make my decisions that way, and I am very public about what I decide. I also hate the tea party and rush limbaugh, as they give every other conservative a bad name
