Bio
Male, Jewish, in my fifties, married with kids (well, at this point I guess that should be "kid"). Thanks to Lezlie for avatar artwork - sort of a translation of my screen name. "Salaam" is peace in Arabic, hence the peace sign. (No, my name doesn't mean "hunk of meat" and yes, the pun is intentional.)

1 Sent.Sun.: Recent quote from a well-known political figure

Rate: 12 Flag

Still busy, but it's Sunday. I'll let you know when I'm back for real.

 

"I don't think you go to the middle; you bring the middle to you."

Ah, yes, bring the middle to the fringes. And bring them through fear and religion, that's the best way.

Miss you.
Miss you too.
Depends which fringe and how far. Are you a centrist?
I will let Jim Morrison elucidate my cryptic response:

“I live uptown
I live downtown
I live all around
I had money, and I had none
I had money, and I had none
But I never been so broke
That I couldn't leave town
I'm a Changeling
See me change
I'm a Changelin'
See me change
I'm the air you breath
Food you eat
Friends you greet
In the sullen street”

Kosher I am looking forward to your return then we can discuss the impending nuclear war that the neocons are pushing both America and Israel into
Oh, I guess I should have said "fringe." I'm not a centrist; I'm on the left fringe, the one where you put your hand out to make an L, like the word Love.
Jack,
Talk to you then.

TGD,
I'm left of center myself, even though I talk about business all the time.

I actually love the quote and agree with it completely. That being said, there's a difference between who I want to say it and who actually did.
Once upon a time I was exceptional, now I'm just abnormal. We've achieved the time when everyone is above average.
Token,
Not that middle. The political center.
Kosher

I was being political- that everyone is above average means that everyone is not only "middle class" but a "moderate"
I think Tiger Woods said that!
My comment would have been Good D's. r.
Would make a good Tiger Woods quote.

I'm not a moderate. Nor, however, am I normal.

I've been waiting for the President to figure this out since 2009. He hasn't, though he may be getting closer if we're lucky.

You can bet Mitt Romney didn't say this. His political philosophy is exactly the opposite. (Not that I have $10k handy for that bet. I don't, incidentally, hold that comment against him at all. There are way, way, way better things to get sanctimonious about.)
Now that he's signed a fidelity pledge, which opens with the words "Faithful monogamy is at the very heart of a designed and purposeful order" I'd follow him to the ends of the earth. Where I'd put my boot to his back.
You know who the quote is from, then.
Sure I do! The guy who's married to Callista! Harrison Ford, of course.
Algis,
Do you mean Bring the middle to me when you say "Please do that?" If that's what you mean, most of what I post is dedicated to that exact effort. I write a lot about how a liberal agenda makes sense for reasons that liberals don't typically talk about, particularly financial and business reasons. It's what my very first post was about, which I eventually reposted.

It's also a lot of what Kemstone writes about.
That is what I keep saying! Looking forward to your next post, KS. R
Thanks, Thoth. I'm looking forward to digging out enough to post again.
Consider the source... I'm sure he believes he can do it, too!
r./
Sure he believes it.

From the other side of the spectrum, I actually agree with the approach. We're not doing better because we've done such a lousy job of making our case.
So i sit down there I will be meddling with the middle.
