Uh huh, except your liberal friends (and yourself) are about as extreme as extreme gets. You and your ilk would be happy to destroy everything around you to upend the "racist white" system and all its institutions. If it means bankrupting the nation with $28 trillion dollar "universal healthcrap" laws then so be it.
There are liberal extremists, but not all liberals are extremists by any stretch. That's as silly as saying all Christians or all Muslims are extremists. There are lots of liberals like me who aren't trying to change anyone into anything. People should be free to be themselves so long as they extend the same courtesy to others.
Do you want to ignore the science of global warming? Uh oh ... that will destroy the planet, thereby depriving all humans of their basic rights forever. So that's a no go. #notreasonable
Do you support an irrational health care system in which we pay more and get less than all other western, industrialized nations? Why should we pay more for less just so the 1 percent can profit? #notreasonable
Do you think it's ok for citizens to be killed by the police just because they are black? Another no go. #notfree
Do you think someone should not be able to able to practice their religion because it conflicts with yours? #notfree
Conservatives are so funny. We couldn't even get five comments into this discussion before someone had his jaw on the ground saying, "I'm far too distracted to even hear a word she's saying!" You see how this might be seen as condescending? No? Ok.
I'm really liberal, and I totally agree with what she was saying. I'm sure 99.99 percent of liberals do. Liberals don't embrace Islam -- we embrace humanism, which means we abhor religious extremism. In the US, we have to keep an eye on Christian extremism more than Islamic extremism because they pose a far greater threat to civil liberties to our citizens. This isn't because they're worse -- far from -- whereas Islamic extremists kill gay people, Christian extremists only try to deny them full and equal rights. Of course, the Islamic extremists are worse. But, fortunately for us, in a country of over 300 million, there are probably fewer than 5,000 Islamic extremists here. On the other hand, there are so many Christian extremists that until a few months ago, gay people were not allowed to marry.
Many women are concerned about Christian extremists denying them their civil liberties ... as they should be. Every Sunday, hundreds of thousands of Christian extremist imams preach that women must obey their men because that's the way God wants it. Sure, these sermons aren't nearly as bad as what their fellow people of the book are saying across the waters, but they're still troubling to women (and men) of modern sensibilities.
Liberals don't hate Christians .. at all .. not a whit. They hate extremism, but they are fiercely protective of everyone's right to worship and believe as they wish. So long as people don't try to impugn on the rights of others. And that's the rub. Christian extremists used to have special, government-sanctioned entitlements to discriminate against certain groups, and these special entitlements are being taken away ... and that makes them mad.
For the record, liberals don't hate Islam .. at all .. not a whit. If you want to build a mosque in a liberal neighborhood, I'm sure the liberals will say great! Put it next to the Jewish temple, the Buddhist temple and the church. If an Islamic person insisted though that they were going to build a mosque and only allow said mosque to be the only religious meeting house in the neighborhood, now liberals have a problem. That's extremism. Just like Christian extremists no longer have special discriminatory entitlements, Islamic extremists don't get them either.
The inbred cons on this board are too enthralled by her evil muslim wiles to understand such a complex statement.

It won't destroy the planet. No scientist believes that. Disastrous, quite possibly. Driving man to extinction, not reasonable. People might take global warming serious if liberals did nort continue to bring up scenarios that are worst than worst case scenarios.

No, I support a healthcare system that relies on much less government than we have today. Government has increased the cost of healthcare, adding more government ain't reasonable.

Does anyone, outside neo-nazis, think that? What people do think is some of these black "martyrs", such as Martin and Brown, were guilty as hell.

I think letting large numbers of immigrants in from an area full with violence and terrorism is pretty damn stupid. I think our Muslim immigrants are not a substantial threat and I think we should keep it that way.
Truth is that unlike in the past, now the whole world understands what Arabs are about. No more hiding behind hollow slogans.
Yes indeed, the UK and US caused lots of problems in the region, but no matter what, nobody (and nothing) can force them to commit the atrocities they are committing now.
There are lots of brave individuals in the Arab world who speak the truth. But nowhere you will find an Arab mass movement for human rights, civic liberties and peace like in every country. That's the problem. The killers can always count on support from the silent majority.
