Explosion in Oslo

Voting Republican or Democrat is not what makes someone right or left wing. I don't actually think of you as a 'right-winger' so much as someone who leans right. More specifically, i think you lean right on some issues and lean left on others. Overall, I'd say you are on the right of centre.

What is the difference between an extremist and a moderate? A moderate knows nothing until the facts with numbers are provided. A moderate suspects the worst when one says, "She exposes the truth for what it is.... " Subjective reasoning somehow becomes "The Truth"? That is a first symptom of extremism.

117 papers say that global warming does not exist. But he did not learn the facts and numbers even in one? He only knew what his political handlers told him to believe. An example of extremists who knows - facts and numbers be damned.

We have a problem on this side of the pond. With so many educated by extremist rhetoric (rather than facts with numbers), then the last election saw mostly moderate Democrats removed from office. A budget deadlock happens when a political agenda replaces facts with rhetoric. When people know because "He exposes the truth for what it is..." without factual details and the numbers. When extremists dominate the Congress.

There are extremist Democrats and Republicans. And moderate Democrats and Republicans. In the American Congress, extremists apparently outnumber moderates. Making it impossible for John Bohemer to make a deal without being backstabbed as extremists did to Newt Gingrich.

In this thread, extremists are identified again. Not just a gunman who needs hollow point bullets because we should all have them. Important to a political agenda is to be the first to tell the dumbest among us how to think. Islam is blamed long before any facts are known. Just as George Jr immediately blamed Saddam on the morning of 12 September. The dumbest among us will only hear the first thing we are told to believe (ie smoke cigarettes to increase health). And then avidly deny any honest facts later by even using insults.

Important for extremists is to be the first to tell their disciples what to believe - honesty and facts be damned. We all saw Michelle Malkin doing just that. Telling us how to think long before honest facts existed. Extremist doing what extremists do best: lie to promote a political agenda.
