[ale] Long ago off topic and wondering ever on... Defeated by the offshoring of America....

You mean like the right wing nazi party? Certainly no radical views there... ahem. Consider the PLO, 
IRA, and the Log Cabin Republicans. If you equate the terms in the manner you suggest then these 
all defy categorization. Indeed, as a Libertarian I am very conservative in some respects and very 
liberal in others and although you could never describe me as a moderate by your definitions I 
would be in the middle of the road.
