Am I "Left Wing" enough to be The Grand Wazoo?

I was checking out our little yahoo forum the other day.
I admit that I don't really promote my site enough, and I don't get posts every day.
But- while in a shadow dimension, I noticed a new post.
"Sean" was pretty down on my Al Sharpton rant, and in response, I suppose I was too busy bashing the guy to see one of his points- that is: I'm not really that left wing.

Sorry to all those text-book liberals out there, and sorry to all those neocons who depend on a few stock answers, based on extreme liberal theory, to debunk all liberal thought.
Yes, Sean, I am almost mainstream, compared to Michael Parenti. Yes, I'm aware of Parenti and others, and like Sean pointed out- the arguements of guys like Parenti are compelling, and they can move the extremes, but they are so extreme that you can't really take them at face value.
I mean, is Parenti a liberal? or is he simply a capitalist hater? or is he really selling socialism as the answer? See, I rarely declare anyone in posession of the complete answer. So while Parenti has neat ideas, and can polarize people, he is an extremist in my view- and exremists on either side are a needed evil. So while I'l always check out the extremes in theory, I look for the pragmatic and practical in practice.

So why pick a name like "LeftWingWackos.Com" and not present the most extreme liberal views possible? Well, it's really a little joke of my own, but I just didn't want some neocon to grab the domain name and use it as a "hate site" with photos of guys like Frank Zappa displayed as whats wrong with America. I want photos of guys like Frank Zappa displayed as whats right with America. Besides, I live in an arch-conservative area, and around here I am an extreme liberal.

What is mainstream? I'm still trying to figure that out.
I won't pretend to know it all. I am simply the son of a coal miner. I am just one liberal. I want to know what everyone thinks, even though I don't think everyone can be right. I don't have the wealth of my middle class parents to fund me, so I can only post rants when I don't have to work. I'm not a parody of liberalism. I like seeing protests, but I prefer to see voters.

Gotta go for now, Sean, my soft white belly needs feeding, so I have to get to work!~
