Democrats Are An Extreme, Radical Party(?)

More sensationalism and alarms - from a defective mind that can not stay calm - everything is a threat,... DANGER,.. even Democrats.

In a fiery speech that pulled the crowd to its feet, the first White House contender to take the stage spoke against abortion and same-sex marriage, telling the audience they were living in “dangerous, extreme, radical times,” and dubbing Democrats “an extreme, radical party.”

Defective thinking indeed.

Go ahead and disagree, Ted and everyone is entitled to disagree with how this country is becoming more liberal - but, don't paint the organic and natural growth of our society as dangerous, extreme and radical.

We have no place for lies and cries of wolf.

edit: disagree in the direction we are headed - as in, let us move towards being more conservative instead.

More liberal? I thought there wasn't a left in this country? Remember, it's you guys claiming everyone is right of center, so in other words being right of center, or conservative created the greatest country on the earth.

,.. and, of course Ted Cruz does not represent what you think/feel,.. however, your claim of what we 'guys' said,.. does represent what I think/feel.

Thanks Matt.

Dems and Repubs aren't our daddy's parties, they have gone further left and further right...sometime to the extreme. Rs need to amend their stance and Ds need to stop trying to make America....France.

Most (not all) people on this forum choose one side or the other. Divide and conquer....it's working well. Keep drinking your particular flavor of KoolAid.

The conservative brain went off the rails when the Soviet Union collapsed. The real threat of an external enemy made it possible for them to see democrats as allies against a great evil. When that threat disappeared the CBD that invents enemies if none are handy, turned against liberals and started to demean them, turning them into the new evil to be destroyed. We are in the full blown manifestation of this psychosis now, with no end in sight. Conservatives out of an exaggerated fear of destruction are now the enemies of the nation, turning them as is our wont, into exactly what they fear, the nations greatest threat, which of course, leads to the radicalization of liberals as the only logical way to respond. We create what we fear. You want fanatical enemies because you are a fanatic, you will get them as your own creation. The CBD is the new evil and it will cure itself by self destruction. Sadly, this will mean the destruction of the rest of the country too.

Hogwash. As Repubs have charged for the right fringe, mainstream Dems have followed at a distance. They're not the Party of the New Deal, at all. They're less "left" now, more corporate.

Cruz? Cruz is the new idiot hero of the right fringe, make no mistake about that.

Cruz/Palin 2016.

Oh well, since you put it that way.... Cruz is an idiot, so is Boehner and Feinstein and Reid and the list goes on and on.

Drink the KoolAid...drink up. This country needs limited terms for our lawmakers.

I'm trying to picture the epic level of failure required for that lovely scene.

Well it appears to be in France.....

If you want go ahead and have an abortion, I don't want to pay to raise a kid your useless ass was too stupid to prevent and with your genes it's likely to grow up a dumbass anyway...if two men want to be married why should I care....that being said....anyone who votes for Democrats these days is stupid beyond belief...they have long outlived their usefulness, if they actually ever had any.

 

[Moonbeam]

That realization will do nothing. A third party would soon become just the same as the other two. Only the people can change the system via a constitutional convention. See anybody pushing for that except for maybe me?

No. And might I add, thank God! Political correctness and special interest would nearly guaranty failure of epic proportions.
Before we start changing the constitution we have now, we should try actually using it for a while and see how it works out.

Because the Republicans don't want you and I to pay for women who get abortions to be put in prison? Or to once again pay for gays to be jailed?
So you may not care so much about those things, but your fellow Republican partisans care about them (and quite a few other agendas) in a BIG way, and they intend to use billions and billions of taxpayer dollars and the full force of government in order to achieve them.
Blindly ignoring that is what makes you the dumbass.

Actually a lot of socialist ideas went into the creation of Canada, the greatest country on earth

I remember back in the 80's an extreme radical party was good times

Ted Cruz is nothing but a cynical manipulator of the CBD. He knows how to jack it up and make it scream in rage. He is interested in only one thing and that's his own personal power. He's nothing but a cunning piece of shit who knows how to make the defective love him.

Agreed, but LOL, you think no one from the D party is the same? Really?

Not like that. Ted sold his soul to the right wing money machine long, long ago. He plays the fears of the think-they-have-a-littles against the have-nots at the bidding of the few at the tippy-top who treat us all the same- as badly as they can get away with.

Need at the bottom doesn't pull us down- greed & lust for Power at the top pushes us down.

Which reminds us all that America's right wing/libertarian idea of what socialism is does not jibe with reality.
