Re: "Is it your opinion or is it based on facts?"
It's based on facts.


OK, you know me. Show me the facts.

Re: "What would be his motive?"

He hates unions and probably wishes to reward his big campaign contributors in the private security business.

Which campaign contributors? More speculation or can you post facts?

Re: "What a diabolical man Dick Armey must be."

I don't believe Dick Armey is diabolical. Just a misguided right-wing extremist. Now "Bugsie" DeLay on the other hand ... this guy is a real piece of work ... did you catch his act on Pat Robertson's evangelical cable channel a few nights ago? He sees what happened on 9-11 as an "opportunity" to push his ultra-right-wing culture-wrapped-in-state-religion agenda.


No! My guess would be that DeLay has read the Constitution and would realize the folly of that goal? Just a wild guess.

Right Wing Extremist and Left Wing Extremist are terms we all bandy about on this thread. I think it would be interesting to define those terms. Since I suggested this I will try.

A right wing extremist in my view is one who advocates clearly unconstitutional restrictions on people in our country and uses or advocates the use of violence to achieve that goal.

A left wing extremist in my view is one who advocates clearly unconstitutional restrictions on people in our country and uses or advocates the use of violence to achieve that goal.

Examples of Right Wing Extemists are Ku Klux Klan, Timothy McVeigh, abortion bombers. Dick Armey is not a right wing extremist, nor is Pat Robinson or Jerry Falwell, however misguided they may be.

Examples of Left Wing Extremists are Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army and the American Communist Party. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Representative Waters from California are not Left Wing Extremists but they are certainly misguided.

"He hates unions and probably wishes...."

Don't you see how the word "probably" refutes your own statement that your opinion is based on facts? FYI, facts either are or are not. They are not "probably". That may help you to know that when you make future arguments.
