I agree, but that was not the point that I was trying to make. All I was saying was that the people don't want extremism on either side.

Then the people aren't paying attention. Because the only solutions to the problems now facing the Republic are what they would call extreme (Our Founders on the other hand would have called them common sense)
I'm not so sure what you are saying here. For one thing, those extreme solutions may be the only ones being offered by an extreme government. They are not the only solutions. This is why I think the people were dissatisfied with the government we had going into the last election. I don't think much has changed after the election either.
For what? exercising your first amendment right? Really?
Even leftists are scared of the Obama crackdown on our liberty.
Ironic no?
That was a joke.
I was nervous about the Bush administration's "crack down on liberty" and got shot down by conservatives time and time again.
Well now Obama's got those powers...
How do you feel now?
Then you did not know me back then, because as a conservative, I was opposed to the Patriot Act from day one. I can't even begin to count how many times I wrote, "It may be fine while Bush is in office, but someday Hillary Clinton will have the reigns and then what are we going to do?"
I am as opposed to those infringements upon our liberties today as I was back then.
