Perhaps you should use the term "Extreme" as a definer, just so you don't paint such a wide swatch. I guess this is a problem with labels, we wear so many different ones on different issues. I rather doubt that when we vote for someone, we vote for a person that believes just like we do.All of life is a compromise. Point taken. And you are correct. Harry displays a form of liberalism that is equivilent in position to Jerry Falwell on the opposite side. Dave You know, Dave, you are such an intellectual numnutz, you're pathetic. On a legitimate scale of liberal to conservative, with moderate as the center, I'd fall a few hairs left of moderate. What views do you think I hold that would put me "opposite" the Rev. Mr. Falwell on the political scale? That I'm pro-choice? I'd say about half of Americans are pro-choice. That I think George W. Bush is not worthy of being POTUS? More voters thought that way than thought he was suitable. That I think Bush's Iraq policies are so much crap? That's the position held by at least half of America. That I'm in favor of many government programs that aid the needy? Well, so are most Americans. That I think our system of providing decent medical care to every American sucks big time? Well, so do most Americans. That I think that the UN, despite its faults, is the best bet for doing what it does, despite the efforts of the right to demonize it? So do most Americans. That I think people like you, who hold far-right extremist views, represent a real danger to our democracy? Well, so do most Americans who think about such issues. None of your claims are substantiated with anything any more credible than your own opinion, so that makes them skeptical at best. Dave |
