@Anyone @Everyone | Name a Half Dozen Left Wing Extremists in Congress

[FA_Q2]

.

Providing examples for partisan ideologues is guaranteed to be an abject waste of time.

Invariably, your examples won't be "good enough".



.

Partisan Ideologue is completely different from extremism.

And I can give you a really concrete example of extremism.

The Bush Doctrine.

It was unprecedented, went against international norms and was based logic that was completely unfounded.

That was extremist.

and yet obama has followed his doctrine to the tee and even gone beyond it....but that is ok with you because obama is a D

But that’s not extreme – it’s innovative and inspiring!

@Anyone @Everyone | Name a Half Dozen Left Wing Extremists in Congress

Would anyone like to comment on that statement above concerning extremism? That would indeed be interesting.

I admit, it was very hard to figure out and list the Moderate democrats these days. there are so very few. Finally, I got 6 of them:

Joe Garcia (D) Fl
Gerry Connolly (D) Va
Joaquin Castro (D) Tx
Bill Foster (D) Ill
Jared Polis (D) Co
Juan Vargas (D) Ca

lets just be happy that the Bush doctrine included an end date (pull out date) for Iraq... That date being the exact date the war ended on.... Or else Obama would have kept us there. If it were not for Bush far left liberals couldn't claim Obama ended the war because we would still be there!

All those previously pointed out, and of course Bernie Sanders. Congress is Congress, not just the House.

You consider Sanders an extreme leftist? Why?

Seriously?! From those who think Bill O'Reilly or even Glenn Beck are extremists?

Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist, which makes him an extremist in even today's so called socialist countries. They've been through that.

Because he calls himself a "socialist" that makes him an extremist?



What policies and/or legislation has he put up that makes him extreme?

 

[Procrustes Stretched]

It's pretty clear to everyone else that Steph was referring to every single one of the Democrats.

Pardon? I can't seem to find what Steph was replying to or referring to. Could you possibly link to it?

<facepalm>

You are seriously confused.

So you won't list any moderates in Congress so why stay in this thread...what is your point?

 

[Mac1958]

.

The term "extremist" is subjective. It's as overused as "radical" and "racist", and is in the eye of the beholder.

Two people from opposite ends of the political spectrum will never agree on its usage.

Not sure I understand the point of this exercise.

Did he vote for a 2k+ page HC bill that he didn't read? Because as I said before, that's pretty much the definition of extreme. Unless you disagree.

Well first..he hasn't followed the doctrine.

But if he had?

Once employed? The doctrine is no longer "unprecedented".

That's kinda why extremism is pretty dangerous.

You lost. Stop changing the goal post until your chit sticks to something. Just go wash your hand and stop playing in your own crap please.

@OriginalShroom


Hmmm, name moderates...

Wtf is this a damned test?

You wanted 6 Far Left Liberals.. I gave them to you.

The OP made it clear he was looking for extremists.

ex·trem·ist
ik&#712;str&#275;mist/
noun
noun: extremist;&#8195;plural noun: extremists

1.
a person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views, esp. one who resorts to or advocates extreme action.

That's what the word means.

So, okay..what makes them "extremists"?

Their voting record, kinda like your posting record makes you one.

It's not.

I posted the definition of extremist.

What Saunder's did? BAU for congress.

The ACA is not, by the way, a "socialist" law.

Moderate Democrats? So you still cannot address a simple issue like moderates in Congress?

Oh well, Dante tried...but best part is how it unfolded is in the database. You did come across as trolling and unable to engage in simple discussion. I guess you are incapable of switching gears from attempting to score cheap message board points and personal attacks.

See you aroind the internets

1: You have not provided what the Bush doctrine is.
2: If we start nuking countries is it not extreme because we did it twice?
3: Please back up your claims or stop posting.
4: thank you for not posting anymore in advance.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

The point?

Think of it this way. Left Wing in reference to what? You get a medical test. The results place you in the average range for people of your age, health, etc.. what does it mean? Nothing..it is only a baseline to work off on on subsequent tests. Say you are a bit anemic? Is that normal for you?

Left Wing of what? Do moderates exist?

Seems like this should have been your OP.

Any honest and meaningful discussion of political extremists would have to include a reference to moderates. How else would people know where others are coming from?

It is not to attack others views of what constitutes extremism and modetates, but extremism as a term implies there are moderates that exist, no?

Why do I have to mention Joseph Kennedy III in the same breath I mention Pelosi? Do Republicans insist that I talk about Lamborn? Is the real problem here that you want to pretend all the radicals are on the other side?

Really? People have written whole books about Lenin without once mentioning Gandhi. You don't get to dicate to anyone the way they talk, unless you want me to start imposing arbitrary rules on your posts.

Lost what exactly? How is asking a simple question while attempting an honest and reasonable discussion a winning or losing proposition?

Go score cheap points with some dickwad who actually views you as a worthy opponent in a game. gawd, you are pathetic.

my lord, that is the biggest load of apologist crap i've ever read

do you even know what the bush doctrine is? and why if it is so extremist, that if someone follows it, it suddenly no longer is extreme?

i guess if you kill a hundred people and someone does the same after you, they are less extreme....

why u sow dum?

Correct, it's so not extreme of a law that it has not created massive division in the nation. It's so un-extreme that all members of congress, even Democrats read the bill from front to, well lets just say page 10, at least page 10...

Businesses are not laying people off in droves. HC costs are not skyrocketing and the ACA didn't have to go to the supreme court.

Obamacare was simply not extreme...

seriously, you're a joke on these boards dude. A bigoted gay hating joke.

Post the Bush doctrine and show where Obama has repealed or not followed it or please shut the fuck up for once.
