For about a half second Bush tried to clarify our problems in the world as a war with Extremists. He quickly withdrew from that position. The battle over extremes is never moved beyond vengeful pride. Extremism involves loyalty to tribe, religion, race, national origin, extreme liberal chaos, extreme oppressive totalitarianism, etc. It is the false sense of devotion to a heritage within a group that tends to corrupt one to the extreme. The interesting aspect of this is that the extremist is always willing to champion the label that identifies him, even unto death, and even to the sacrifice of the principles underlying such a label. The locus of fidelity should be one of intelligent and principled communion with others. Are right wing extremists all against bush? No. some of them conduct themselves in the name of Bush. Many people act in the name of Jesus as well. That doesn't necessarily mean they get the message of Jesus who warned such hypocrites that on a judgement day he would declare that he never knew them. A couple of examples of Bush supporters that represent the radical right on SI are CYBERKEN and LongNshort.
