27. Extremes on both sides are similar
Edited on Thu Sep-11-03 09:44 AM by Blue_Chill
The extreme have similarities to me. For example these are the things you said about freepers compared to those far left on this board.

Many hate religious freedom

Mnay here don't care for reigious freedom either. They support the notion of religious freedom to impose a secular goverment. But if you want to test my theory ask them if they think any less of Castro for kicking the church out? Ask them if they think any less of China for forcing atheism on it's people? I've gotten many responses showing that my theory was right on target with some.

many hate our economic system that has led to a balance between corporate markets and some form of regulatory powers to protect citizens

More then a few here hate our economic system and blame it for all the worlds troubles.

many hate many Americans - from immigrants, to migrant workers, to people of other religious persuasions, to minorities, sometimes to women in general, etc.

I was in a thread about a month ago where a few DUers were telling me how they dind't mind that poor mexicans were dying in the desert. They said helping them would be a bad thing. I guess the idea of a world people' only extends to Iraqis, hispanics like myself are still treated as pests.
