Now, let me give you examples of true extremism. I knew a lady who knew I was a Reaganite, and yet wondered if I were a socialist because I thought that public libraries were not in principle wrong. I know people who are not merely opposed to gay marriage, but want to prosecute gays for sodomy. I have heard of people who honestly believe in ZOG, the Zionist Occupation Army. But, I must say, they are not commonly Republican, and none of them are active on this thread. On the other hand, when one decries "right- wing extremists", one normally means the sort of people who are on this thread: pro- life, against extending protected status to gays, worried about "values", for the devolution of government. It miffs the people on this thread to be labelled, even indirectly, in that way, and adds to rancor.......... |
