Not at all. I know this is a common Moderate Hero talking point, but on most issues one side is completely correct and reasonable and another side is insufferable and ridiculous. Think about this, Moderate Heroes think that the idea that every person deserves some sort of basic safety net or even the rather moderate legislation of Obamacare is about equal to the Tea Party in how extreme and annoying they are then it's quite telling (and no, the opposite of the Tea Party would not be something like Marxist collectivism, because no one in the US is suggesting that besides teenagers on the internet who think their Lenin and Mao shirts make them badasses.)
One rare issue where this is the case is gun control, where both sides are utterly insufferable (Often ignorant "BAN THE GUNS!" hysteria vs. just as ignorant and idiotic "DEFEND MAH FREEDOMS!" hysteria.)
