Question Of The Day: What Is Alan Moore?

In an effort to fill some space in my blog, I've come up with yet another NEW posting which I hope to incorporate regularly.  I always have questions running through my head about writers, artists, certain heroes, etc., but I never talk about them here or some how allow for discussions to commence that stem from those questions.  So, here's what I have for all of you to discuss and become a part of.  Leave your comments and contribute to the discussion...

Alan Moore is a unique individual, all of his stories seem to have a dual bias; they have a conservative feel to them but still hint at moments of liberalism.  I can never quite tell if Alan Moore is in fact a conservative asshole, or if he is a brilliant satirist.  He will always be one of my favorite authors, but his style of writing has always made me wonder what the hell his political convictions are.  So what do you guys think?  Is Alan Moore a conservative ass-wipe, or is this his way of making fun of right-wingers?
