    You can label them any way you want, but those people epitomize true globalists. They don the colors of democrats, but they are worse.
    They are sucking the life out of nations that embrace Individualism, to break them to the lowest common denominator. Then establish the UN as our governing body over our elected officials. The know they cannot lord over us as long as we can resist (firearms).
    November 9th will be interesting. Here's hoping y'all got your 6 covered.

    And it swings too far as it is doing now. Either way power mongers will grab on and go for a ride while they can

    I know. It always seems to.

    It's like society is carried by the extremists on both sides. When the pendulum swings one way, the extremists on the other side power-up and pull it back--too far. And, it just keeps happening...

    If we could just get the more moderate elements involved, we might stabilize it.

    But, it also seems as though moderate folks have lives that don't hinge on activism.

    Very well put. The power mad are nothing if not creative. They know how to get their fix of votes to get their fix of power and you are correct. Unless the middle gets more vested and history gives glimmers of hope there, nothing will change.
