The far-right controls the government, not the far-left, which makes the power difference clear.

The far-right is full of people who gladly have stated "nothing Trump can do will cost him their support" - there is no equivalent to such lunacy on the left. We've got Trumpers pretending that he "prevents planes from crashing," "allowed people to again say Merry Christmas without fear," and single-handedly fixed the stock market and economy, all of which were actually recovering since 2009 or 2010. There is no equivalent to such cultist lunacy on a national level among the far left since Clinton. Even Obama didn't earn that level of silly praise.

As for my 20 years of experience on the matter, if you don't like it, fine, but I'm going to trust my "lying eyes" more than I trust sweeping generalizations from random internet people claiming "both sides are equally numerous and powerful."

It should be painfully obvious that if "left-wing lunatics!" were "everywhere" and "the real threat," I'd be tripping over them in a very blue state. Instead, what do I find? A strong majority of right-wing extremists who wear their ignorance and bigotry on their sleeves. Is this personal experience vs. a scientific poll? Yes - but 20 years of experience makes certain things rather clear... that being that the radical right is far more numerous, powerful, and dangerous in this nation than the radical left.

Thats the truth. Dems say Hillary is for women and Trump is Misogynistic. In reality Hillary attacks the women her Husband raped. Dems attack Trump for saying something about pusi@#, again, Bill Clinton actually raped and attacked women. Dems like to say Trump is dangerous and may attack other countries, while their peace prize hero destroyed one and all but destroyed a second.

Democrats are by far the most lying hypocrites by a large margin. I dont even like Trump, but he is by far the proven lessor threat. When he starts freeing Terrorists, I'll believe differently.

Yes, I get it, because YOU don't like them they are "the FAR" right...half of these "far right" folks don't like or support Trump and can definitely be seen as moderates, I mean John McCain...far right? Please. Its your opinion, thats all. Sorry. Parisians like you who over dramatize everything are part of the problem.

"The Government" is largely the BUREACRACY, and most of the people that make up the bureaucracy are DEMOCRATS that want bigger, and bigger government to grow their careers. Very selfish, and self centered. All at the expense of the tax payer. We could cut the government in half with no detriment to most services.

No argument that the MSM is not "completely honest" and sure they can slant the news with omissions.

But is that as dangerous to a democracy as the outright "lies" of FOX and Breibart not to mention publications like Conservative Tree House.
Name one.

You're in thrall to the lying liberal media.

You were on one of the threads (although perhaps only briefly) that tried to sell the The Conservative Tree House nonsense that Carter Page was an FBI employee, which connected into a couple of versions of conspiracy theories.

Conservative Tree House took a NYT article and truncated a key portion of the text to mislead readers.

Who else then picked it up? Curious, I checked. Per a google search, it only seemed to be 4chan and redditt.com. Oh, and certain posters on C-D.

Didn't even meet Hannity's standards, but then maybe I didn't look hard enough.

I wouldn't say Jeb is a Trump bootlicker, but he did sort of stand by and not do much.

Jeb is, in some ways, sort of the Little Lord Fauntleroy of U.S. national politics.

Trump colluded with Russians.

These Russians are damn effective! I don't know if it's still denial... or failure to comprehend... or you really bought the farm on this Russian conspiracy...

I know they're good for 3 things...
Tracking moose and squirrel.
Vodka.
Communism.

But if they're as effective as you claim them to be... and accuse me of working with them/for them, you have any proof of this?
LOL.

Just a little something for people that haven't locked onto a political party yet like the human centipede.

Most posters are too far gone to process it.
Actually, the WMD claim was not a lie. Bush II was just going by info he received, just like B. Clinton was (who made the same claim).
