    Was just wondering if it bothers conservatives that a good many of your fleet come across like kyfanatic, there are statistics that seem to be pretty easy to find if you wish to find them... It would seem to me that turning the voting population against your cause wouldn't be the best way to promote what you believe is best for our country... Denying statistics and making up your own somehow just doesn't seem credible, to me anyway.

    Being too far right is just as problematic as being too far left. The problem with either, in my humble opinion, is that not being able to break stride with your side of the isle outweighs silly little things like common sense, reason, and facts.
    It also tends to make you think something is a fact just because somebody somewhere on some obscure blog on some random corner of the world wide interwebs said its so. You become overly passionate and obsessed with it.

    Whether you are all the way left or all the way right on the scale, you are equally in the dark.

    A fair and balanced portfolio of ideology that rides the middle ground is where I try to be...though I do tend to ride a bit right of the center in most cases.

    I picture one side of a 2-lane interstate. There is a center line. Most drive in either the left lane or the right lane. It's the wackos that try to pass in the median at far left or on the shoulder at far right that kick up all the gravel. They grab all of the headlines and blog chatter, but I believe most Americans stay on the pavement, closer to the center line, and just try to get where they're going...whether it's slightly left or slightly right of center.

    IMO he is just fed up with the liberal media and the policies being shoved upon us and the continued "hall pass" this administration gets. Many many left wingers go way to far and do the same with anyone who opposes a different view. Look at the professors that get put on administrative leave because of their liberal rants, the liberal talk shows that fail because of low ratings due to over the top liberal propaganda. The twisted data on gun control and attack on law abiding people trying to own guns legally. Politicians stop at nothing to get their way and the way of whoever buys their vote and when your on the receiving end of their attack it really becomes more personal. We are facing obamacare, gun control threats, tax increases, more and more debt, a slow recovering economy and bankrupt cities across the United States so I'm fine with people being upset and demanding change.

    I'm not tossing in the towel on this country being controlled by left winged paper politicians from now till the end of time. I'm convinced that once we hit rock bottom with this social responsibility, head in the sand, money grows on trees, all our problems have been caused by conservatives mentality that enough people will stop sitting back and doing nothing but instead will educate themselves and actually vote for "change" not this same krAp over and over. All we do is elect a different party in complete power and they spend the years blaming the other party and get the green light to spend money to do anything they want. Our system kinda suckks like that. Two parties and nothing else. One party gets complete control and the checks and balances go away.

    So no it doesn't bother me that anyone voices their opinion strongly or wrongly (in some people eyes.) That's still one of the things we have a right to do and it does bother me that when we as a country stop allowing free speech or public opinions that differ from others. I understand what your saying or asking in your post, I'm just expanding it on a bigger stage and that's the opinion that people who don't like Obama or his policies are radicals, racists or if I'm not mistaken being tagged as terrorists by some. I just don't remember people opposing other presidents being labelled in such a way.
