We've seen this kind of inflexible, uncompromising behavior from the Right before. The lack of moderation, the inability to yield, to give a little, to see the other side for just a moment.To show a little understanding, a little empathy. It's always got to be their way or the highway. They succeed in turning a minor setback into a catastrophe by their inability to even pretend to humanity.

They are indeed in need of some restraint.

One day that lack of moderation will be Karla's downfall. He's a fanatic. And the fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt.
