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

Can you not read? I said yes i could name them, and I can. I just don't see the point. You asked if I thought there were moderates in Congress and I said yes. If that is all there is to the point of this thread then yeah, it's a pretty silly way to ask.
Dante thinks silly is normal because the doctor bashed his head against a wall when he was born.
I don't think so. When I first came to this board he was a fairly rational person. Almost a year ago, something happened and he's gone way around the bend. Shame really. Actually, I made a thread about it. let me see if i can find it.
Here it is. On 4-20-2013:
http://www.usmessageboard.com/7122720-post1.html
He was an almost completely different person at that point.
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?
Example of strawmen, red herring or complete ignorance: for those reading here go back to first few pages of posts. Nowhere does Dante refer to party affiliation or anything else except open and honest questions asking to list left wing extremists and then moderates with expainations asking for an honest discussion..
Don't believe me, just go back and read first few pages of posts in this thread

Hmmm, name moderates. Can name any moderates?
_-----_----------_--_---
Let me see...far left would have to be by definition part of a spectrum. So, do moderates exist in your view? Need help with definition of 'moderate'?

PredFan said:Dante said:Can name any moderates?![]()
Yes I can, but first, explain the point.
------------------
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? [MENTION=33194]PredFan[/MENTION] Do moderates exist?
------------
Do we detect hostility? Hope not.
You didn't or couldn't name moderates in Congress? Why? And Dante didn't ask for moderates in each or any specific party.

I'm surprised you are incapable of an honest and rational discussion. Do you think answering a very simple question closes off any discussion?

Like [MENTION=1668]Stephanie[/MENTION], [MENTION=12394]PoliticalChic[/MENTION] has issues with reading and comprehension when the term "Congress" was clearly used?
Why do so many people hear what want to and then respond as if ... never mind.
Strawmen and red herring for dinner
Neither Ghandhi nor Lenin were moderates for their time, or even today for that matter.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.
Shouting, attacking, playing at scoring silly little girlyman points is not attempting to have a discussion.
As far as writing a book goes....this is a discussion forum, not a tome to be read.

Seriously?! From those who think Bill O'Reilly or even Glenn Beck are extremists?You consider Sanders an extreme leftist? Why?
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?
But thats not extreme its innovative and inspiring!
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.
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?
Dare I say the main (not the only) reason The Bull Ring is not more popular @ usmb is because most of those who have been here for any serious period of time have become decrepit with age?
Scoring cheap points, avoiding honest discussion with suspicion because of obvious projection...
Oy vey , how many ways can one say 'loser'?

OK...ok.....ya' got me!
1. Michael Harrington, founder of the Democratic Socialists of America, knew that infiltration of the Democratic Party was primary, and it already contained all of the progressive elementns
The Eduard Bernstein Internet Archive
Socialism time line. The DSA remains the principle branch of the Socialist International, whose primary goal is global governance under worldwide socialism.
a. The Socialist International boasts it is successor to the First International of Karl Marx, 1864. Ever since its inception in 1951, the Socialist International has made cosmetic efforts to distance itself from communist socialists. http://www.thenewamerican.com/world...-35/2947-the-grasp-of-socialist-international
2. Creation of the Progressive Caucus is credited to Bernie Sanders. The groups in the radical network include a) the Congressional Progressive Caucus, b) the Congressional Black Caucus, c) the Populist Caucus, and the d) Progressive Democrats of America.
a. Allied with the above is ACORN, SEIU, and the Institute for Policy Studies
b. And, indirectly, the Center for American Progress and the Apollo Alliance.

rep?
how pathetically juvenile,
btw, Dante went away for a bit...before he did he turned off lots of access to his profile, but the rep? Dante would challenge you to a duel over the issue of him not giving two shits about somethings as silly and immature as rep on an anonymous internet message board.
You do know it has been said that suicide is a viable option for some folks?
