Sotomayer: Why Does the Right Assume Extremism
Sunday May 31, 2009
Categories: Separation of Church and State, Supreme Court
Jay, I'm certainly aware that some of the most "liberal" justices on the Supreme Court agree with your arguments in some cases. I even agree with your arguments in a few cases. My question to you earlier, though, was why,...

Come on Barry, you already know why. They have to oppose everything Obama does and redefine it as extreme left-wing politics. That's because the Republic-Fascist GOP has moved so far to the right that their Moderates look like socialists compared to them. First they tried to portray Obama as a Black Liberation Theology extremist. Then they tried to portray him as a socialist. Now they are trying to portray him (through this nominee) as a racist. And every time they pull one of these obvious stunts, it backfires. If they keep this up, after the next elections there may not be any GOP (Republicans) left.
We still have legislation in place which is killing our posterity. How can this be in The United States of America?
It is against The Constitution.
DSJulian,
You are certainly right. This is all about winning one for the "team" regardless of whether it be right or wrong.
Cara Floyd,
I assume you are talking about our government quietly and behind the scenes doing everything it can to support and endorse religion. I agree with you; it is against our Constitution and it is killing people.
Because they think anyone who does not hate everything they hate is an extermist
Why Does the Right Assume Extremism…because, imo, this is what they really are, Extremism. They want all things ruled by their religious interpretation and they alone are to govern, as this is seen as their “god given right”. To me, this group is as Un-American as you can get!
Why are they calling individuals who want to protect the rights of the unborn posterity as extremist? I only refered to myself as an extremist Republican, because quite frankly I have heard some Republicans become a bit unbalenced in the view of Embryonic Stem-Cell and the morning after pill. I still view this process as murdering our unborn posterity, which quite frankly is an extreme unequal right, in my view. So, I had to say something to set myself apart from the pack, so they would notice that I did not support the notion of Embryonic Stem-Cell as being ok in the voting booth. I do not feel that sticking up for individual freedom of posterity rights is a threat by any standards. It is standing up for the written document of The Constitution of The United States Of America. We the people, we are to give a defense to our posterity. Standing up for our unborn posterity is right. Cara Lea Floyd (Smith)
