lol - I'm going to politely walk away from this argument. I tried, with civility, to show the two (or three?) of you the both sides of extremism, but you guys want none of that.

So, you win. You win 100+ Internets!

(just try to be a bit more open-minded and civil in real life)

I'm conservative on some issues but in the end I'm very left and I make no apologies. Hell, I think many liberals are too conservative. I'm not a moderate and don't pretend to be one and you are not going to convince me otherwise

Unlike Romney I stand by my beliefs.

You didn't answer the question about the equivalent. So show us both sides of extremism.

Where was I not civil? My apologies if I was not civil in any of my posts.

I actually respect that you said that. Doesn't make your opinions or ideology right or ideal for the average American, but at least you are honest.

Fine - but if this blows up into my face, I'm out, and this discussion is over.

Right wing extremism:

"Obama isn't an American"
The insistence that the United States governing body be directed by the morals and teaching of the bible
Anti gay marriage (really, when the majority of all marriages end because the husband couldn't keep his dick in his pants, or the wife was bangin' the pool boy, who are we to judge gay marriage?)
Contraception - really, it's not obvious that some form of population control is needed?


Left wing extremism:

Republicans are racist (if you really think that 49% of America is racist, then we are in big ****ing trouble)
Republicans are misogynists (just a piggy-back off of the racism card in an attempt to secure the woman vote)
Republicans are waging a war on women (see above)
Right-wing American policy dictates that the US is invading the world with its colonialist agenda (yes and no, but don't pretend that these interest aren't mutually beneficial)


Christ, I could go on and on, but the amount of crazy that spews from both ends is enough to make me want to swallow a pistol. I just hope people can shut the fu*k up long enough to recognize it.

The internet is a playground for all with extreme views from Lester Maddox style racists to anarchists to utopians.
