Your post is yet another thinly veiled attempt to portray anyone who is not a republican as a left wing extremist. Most people who vote democratic are nothing like that. You do the same thing with the environmental movement; paint them all as extremist kooks. There is no chance of an extremist position on the left being elected in this country. To be honest there are plenty of anti-government lunes on the far right that are of greater concern in my view. Fortunately I'm aware that the majority of republicans are not extremists, although the percentage of NWO kooks in their ranks is alarming. Should I look up a few of their web sites and write a post titled "The Right gets it together..."?

In a time of increasing Federal power, we do need to be vigilant. But vigilance needs to be facing both ways.

This I agree with.
