I’m curious about something. What exactly are the credentials of a moderate?What are the credentials of a conservative? What are the credentials of a liberal?

As traditionally understood, but not practiced very often, liberals desire big government solutions, conservatives small government and moderates somewhere in between.

As for the religious affiliations, I’m not sure why many on here continually tar the conservative base as radical creationists. I figure most have some religious beliefs, but aren’t overly passionate, don’t consider the Bible as literal and just live their lives and want to be left alone. Yet the same brush is used to tar them with the straw man of the Neanderthal who is shocked that the sun rises in the same place every day.

Is it more important to attack religious faith than to fight against government having the ability to dictate how we choose to live our lives or raise our families?

Thanks for the replies.
