Try wearing an Obama shirt where my folks live in Idaho....
My mom worked for a lawyer out there who had Obama signs on his front lawn.... The guy left the state after getting repeated death threats!
And for every one of those instances...there's 10,000 instances of the violence, hatred and intolerance of the Left.
I just don't buy the propaganda of "they do it, so it's okay if we do it." Or "Republicans are just as bad." They're not. The RNC blows chunks, they're dweebs and the suck -- and they might even be stealing pennies from the take-a-penny jar.
But..the Democrat Party. They're torching the place. They've got plastic explosives set to go off and a $300 million insurance policy they're prepared to collect on. And they're not waiting until grandma gets out of the building.
They're
not
the same.

This "Us and them" thinking process is what is killing america. People need to work together, not be in factions.

The idiots in the shirts in those pictures would wear a shirt with Charles Manson on it if it were popular or would make them look cool (this actually WAS cool for a while there) and are not examples of anything other than simple idiocy.
Sadly, it's more than that. It's a growing anti-American, anti-freedom movement. It'll lose because it sucks. But when? What'll be the damage. Will it be irreversible? I don't know.
We did just re-elect all those things. I mean, put a fnking Che t-shirt on dude, shut down our energy production. Towel the door and turn on the gas. Let's go Commie.

OK, you're a Right-Winger. We get it. Can we move on?
And there is NO anti-freedom movement in this country. There might be some idiots but it is certainly not a movement These are just your words to de-legitimize anyone you see as "Left" or as otherwise not as paranoid as yourself.
It's always the real freedom haters who hate how others express their freedom or dare question anything.....

Hating how people "express their freedom" is simply being a critic. I could really care less about that.
I'm only trying to wake people up about those who are actually taking (or support the taking) of freedom. I think that's kind of important.

OK, I understand that. But is there really a movement of people out there who sit around a table going "So, how do we get rid of our freedoms? How can we be disappeared in the middle of the night and tortured? How can we engineer a military coup and subject ourselves to an untold number of years under the iron fisted rule of some military dictator who will shut down all liberal arts and torture/kill most of us with impunity???
Or is anyone who is simply being a critic themselves but whom you disagree with a freedom hater?

The anti-freedom movement is a democratic movement run by people who think they have more rights than others and think they deserve special treatment. Combine that with its democratic intent, and yes, it is an anti-freedom movement.

I don't buy that for a second.... And if so, there are those folks on both ends of the spectrum....

It is comprised of folks on both ends of the left-leaning spectrum. The socialists on the far-left and the Christian conservatives on the center-left.

Oh, and you mean to tell me there are no far right folk or neo-cons who believe they have more rights than someone on the opposite end of the spectrum? You can honestly tell me that?
You guys are just falling down your own rabbit hole. Yes, there is some truth to what you are saying but you're blowing it out of proportion to suit your own views and are just screaming into your own wind tunnel.

The so-called "far right" and "neoconservative" folks are by no means right-wing. Their social and fiscal policies place them in the left-wing and quite far to the left, too.

You need to stop putting people in little boxes.... It ain't healthy.
And you know reality is much more complicated than you're pretending it is.
If we're talking about extremists here, then there will always be THEM or idiots or people who take themselves far too seriously. What's the difference between a bunch of rednecks in a barn bitching about them lefties or a bunch of college students in a library bitching about them damn right wingers? People bitch and moan about each other and it will never end.

No, the reality is really quite simple. Those who advocate any form of control over the life of another are left-wingers. You have people on the real far left like the Nazis, Maoists, Stalinists, Ku Klux Klan, Black Panthers, Weather Underground, the bastardized "tea party" movement. You have people on the middle end of the left like the Christian conservatives, the neocons, and the Obama and Bush regimes. And the people just left-of-center are your usual college age kids with a Che Guevara t-shirt and a semen-stained copy of the Communist Manifesto nestled in between their Playboy magazines.

I'm paranoid because I want to be left alone and leave others alone? Because I want to lead a voluntary lifestyle? The new extremism is liberty. I'm sure the British thought the same about the colonists in 1776, too.

There are two types of people in the world: those who want to be left alone and those who don't want to leave others alone.

No you're paranoid because your rights have become a sort of extreme anti-social disease in your mind and a form of sociopathology. You see hordes of evil people coming over a hill in the distance to come take your rights away. No one gives two sh*ts enough or even know who the hell you are to want to take away your rights other than the usual suspects who do not form a simple left/right situation.
You want to be left alone. Go for it. Go be alone and don't cry about it. Don't be the type of person who draws a gun and scares the hell out of someone because they're passing you on the sidewalk and happened to invade your scared personal space that you have the right to defend with violence.
Who took those people's rights away in Chilea circa 1973 that we discussed earlier? It was your beloved Republican Prez Nixon and your sacred corporation ITT, so please.....
