...the term leftist. This was a ways back. To the best of my recollection Tom was getting the sermons from you and Robert about his broad generalizations, of which leftist and socialist were two of the ones causing the most consternation.

I did take issue with the way you two respond to my posts, with more ad hominem than content, but I realize that my beliefs and outspokenness make me a greater target here --as are both of you or anyone on these boards who really lays it on the line and sticks to their convictions. And you did reply to the issues later and I appreciate that. When the earlier post was written I just had the two replies to work from.

I ,personally, think you're probably more radical than anyone here and that the leftist handle is probably fitting. You do have a protest mentality and are a rebel. If you were in the Senate you'd vote right along with Hillary and Dianne Feinstein. Robert is probably just as leftist but not a radical. He doesn't strike me as a protester, but I could be wrong. He probably protests with his vote and thats it. Chris and Don are next in the leftist line-up and then comes Bowser. Lindy is highly anti-Bush but her views make her more anarchist/rebel than left/rebel.

It would be interesting to make a political map of the Zoners. Few here are true leftists in the classical definition. Most are polarized on a few issues and are part of the moderate classification. Everyone here who supports Kerry is clearly not a leftist. Davin and RL, despite their vituperation, clearly aren't. So, really, my broad generalization did only address a handful of people here - and I guess you were one of them. I've been on other boards where the leftist ratio is almost wall-to-wall.
