There are incredible nuts on both sides. I've seen 'em. And (for example) the extreme eco nuts are every bit as irritating as the folks on the right- to me, anyway- and the fact that I sympathize with ecological issues doesn't make me like the positions of the very crazy fringe. I don't care what place they are coming from- they are really whiny, extreme, and intolerant. I too am intolerant- I realize that- I am totally intolerant of the fringe.

When it comes to economics, some liberal ideas are every bit as destructive as some right wing ideas. For example, some Great Society programs to help the poor have resulted in the virtual disintegration of poor families and brought about terrible suffering to the people they were supposed to help. The liberal mentality of throwing money at social problems have many times terrible unintended consequences. And liberals are just as stubborn as right wingers in refusing to acknowledge fault in some of their ideas, even after overwhelming evidence -- much like global warming deniers.
