I think we should build the wall, and then man it with the proper amount of border patrol. The wall alone is a waste.

Define extremists for me in your words. I'm a hardcore leftie but, extremist? Depends on what that means. Do you agree with any policy that is not supported by the party that you support? That to me is an extremist, no opinion outside what the party tells you to believe. I make my own decisions, but they align with the left.

Yesterday's moderate is today's right wing extremist.

Hell hath no fury like an Oh My scorned.
Heck. OhMy was one of the last usernames I used. I was on that forum for over 20 years and participated with hundreds of fishing reports and was involved with the FS community in S. Florida (fishing tournaments, club outings, etc.) I venture into OT when the regional section dried up and some dude from GA starts banning me because I called out the bias in his political moderation. Back to the subject at hand. Let's see who identifies as an extremist so Ferris can prove me wrong.

I remember. Extremists tend to self-identify only in their posts, and people tend to believe in their own rationality.

To me.... Another clear sign of an extremist.... is some that cannot have a civil conversation or civil discourse... That used to be possible.... But it is not any longer..... And has not been so for quite a long time... Newt Gingrich started us down this path....

Yesterday's moderate is today's right wing extremist. No.... Yesterday's moderate, right or left, is still a moderate..... But there are those on both sides of extremism that attempt to paint moderates on the opposite side as extremists... in the failed hope that their own views are not seen as extremism... .Their fellow extremists will jump on their bandwagon.... But the rest of the folks see it for exactly what it is....

Although, you have no evidence that the names you post were actually mine. I did jest one evening and create a user named FerrisHasBadBreath. I will give you that one !!!

Both sides are sliding leftward, therefore the term extremist is being redefined frequently.

I believe in a women's right to make her own decisions regarding her body.
I believe in a safety net for all folks under a certain income level with a work or community volunteer stipulation if physically and mentally able.
I believe in protecting our environment and do not think policies bad for the environment should be inacted because of they are good for the economy.
I believe we need to deal with climate change, polluted waters, declining aquifers and man made chemicals infiltrating our environment and bodies.
I believe the wealthy should pay more taxes, see Laffer curve.
I believe tax payers should not fund private development.
I believe immigration should be controlled as immigrants are causing our population increases.
I believe rewarding people with children should be discontinued...no child tax credits.
I believe the government should not subsidize oil companies or coal companies.
That's all for now.
Gonna go eat some prime rib.
