You know, I sort of almost finally agree with afoigrokerkok

I don't believe that.

I think both groups want to do what they think is best. Neither is usually completely correct.

Maybe for the lack of consistency.
Liberals don't do anything right and only cause problems - suddenly no one wants to admit that?

I think there is a substantial (not a majority) number of liberals that do hate America.

Unfortunately it is that extreme left wing that is driving the Democratic party at the moment.

When will Democrat moderates get tired of the Jeremiah Wright/Bill Ayers wing of the party?

Not soon, probably.

The radicals on the left engineered the Obama victory by deceit and racial intimidation. (Does anybody doubt that if a white candidate with a thin resume like Obama's had run, he would have been laughed off the stage at the Democratic debates during the primaries instead of being treated as if he brought gravitas to the game?)

The moderates need the radical left to keep them in power.

Exactly....there has to be a middle ground for folks like me and if left wingers ruled only,I would be left out and if right wingers ruled,again I and the folks like me would be left out.

Get rid of the extremists from both parties and it would be a perfect country again

Wouldn't there will always be extremist and it's what would be constituted as an extremist that would change?

Some threads suggest that liberals are communists. One recent thread tried to make the case that liberalism is a psychological disorder.
If liberals are insane, never do anything right and are always wrong about everything all the time...if liberals have a secret agenda (either intentional or unintentional) to destroy America...should they be allowed to make any decisions for local, state, or national government?
If you don't want a liberal in government, don't vote for them. You don't have to give a reason why you don't want them. That is the great thing about our system. There is no need to justify your decision.
