MODERATORS
That depends on your definition of "right winger." Your average Republican is likely a fine person, but your average fascist isn't. If you:
You're probably not a good person. But if you merely believe in smaller government and think the GOP will give that to you, then you're probably fine. I don't have a problem with people who support the GOP (I do have a problem with the GOP itself), but I do have a problem with the right wing of the GOP and especially the few who the GOP consider "too radical" for the party.
The same is true for the left end of the spectrum as well. Basically, once you go too far down one end of the spectrum, there's a good chance you're self-selecting as a bad person.
If you want to use the might of government to right some "social wrong," we're probably not going to agree. Government should merely exist to maintain order and protect the vulnerable, it shouldn't be used to regiment society in any real way.
