Here is what you said...implying it is what I said. What radical agenda items...list them...if they are discussed daily it shouldn't take much effort. Here is what I said.... see any difference? The progressive changes conservatives object to are discussed here daily. In any event it does not take much effort. Anyone can do it even you and tejek. So I don't see what your issue is other than attempting to yank my chain. Partial list off the top of my head: More regulation and services. Universal health care Increase taxes on high income earners Marriage abortion ebryonic research 2nd amendment Government structure of law at the expense of individual freedom Religion Larger Government The role of government States Rights Affirmative Action Death Penalty Global Warming Government surveillance

>> What radical agenda items...list them.. You don't think Obamacare is radical? This is the biggest piece of legislation in American history, gutting the health care system, raising taxes, killing business, imposing limits on corporate profits, directing corporate behavior, involving itself in private contracts between consenting parties, massive tax increases -- and you don't think it is radical? Obamacare is huge and it is radical, and it overshadows tons of changes that would themselves be considered radical on a standalone basis. For example, last week's decision to allow 15 year old GIRLS to buy heavy duty hormones in a drugstore without the slightest advice or counseling, which will often conceal crimes that have been committed. Rational people would be raising hell if they fully understood the implications. No sensible person can support this measure. That is radical. His Supreme Court appointments have been far left nutjobs that make Bork look like a centrist. The corrupt intervention in the GM bankruptcy was not just corrupt, but very much radical. Again, no precedent for something like this. Using a trillion dollar slush fund to fund chosen industries, with billions wasted? Radical. These hard examples are one thing. As important is the example (or lack of one) he has set for the American people -- from the racist attack on a policeman who was merely doing his job to the divisive tactics used in his campaign, there really has been nothing like it. Only nutjobs see him as anything but radical. We've never had a president so extreme and it is shameful the media elected this guy a second time.
