You are wrong. In fact, I feel VERY STRONGLY, YOU ARE WRONG!!!!
What nerve you have to presume how strongly one feels, just because one is a moderate!
I feel VERY STRONGLY, that I don't want the government to own businesses that can be better run privately.
Yet I fee VERY STRONGLY(!!!!!!!) that certain industries, although run privately, should be regulated, because they impact so heavily on lives of so many.
That's about as moderate as you can get. It is squarely between the the ultimate capitalist view that private industry, regulated only by the markets, should be left to do their business, and the ultimate Communist (Socialist, Leftwing) view that the government should run everything.
It is only out of a VERY STRONG FEELING OF RESPECT for others on this board that I don't use foul or abusive language in this post to show you exactly HOW STRONGLY a moderate can feel.
I hope I have helped to change your thinking that one does not have to an extremist to FEEL STRONGLY about their political beliefs.
