[quote=felix][quote=dbapig][quote=felix]Both parties have radical elements. Both parties have those who have those who buy into extreme ideas and conspiratorial theories.
However, there is a difference between the parties with regard to extremism. The Republicans don’t put those types in positions of power. [/quote]
Who were Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove?
Ever heard of Rumsfeld and ASPARTAME? Google those 2 terms together.[/quote]
You may not be happy with the previous administration. I understand that. I wasn’t happy with much that occurred also. Still, very few folks would consider any of the above radicals, in the same way those close to and even working in the Obama administration are considered radical. And this isn’t just a left/right judgment. It is a judgment based upon the traditional values of this country.
If you consider those you named above as radicals then you also must consider most of founding fathers radicals as well as many of those who have lead and built this country radicals. Clearly, the views of those who founded this country and of those who wrote our constitution are more in line with the Bushies than the changes being done by administrative or judicial fiat of the current left.
In fact, imo, JFK views were more in line with the Bushies and today’s Republications than today’s current Dems.[/quote]
