The right wing lunatic fringe always seems to get much more active in the few years leading up to a US presidential election.
The past few years have been rather quiet in here but the righties are trending upward in their attacks and criticisms.
Looking forward to a spirited few years leading up to the election.
Nice to know some of the unemployed right wing whackos are finding work in a republican run cubicle maze filled with computers, reference books, talking points and suggested items to discuss online.

I am laying in a stock of chips and sodas for the run up to the next general
election south of the line. I expect a slight diversion will be provided to us
by the crooks that live in Ottawa first though. I'm thinking of putting out a
line of 'Crying Towels' to help the losers cope with disappointment after it is
all over.

The lunatic fringe express themselves trough hatred.
Right wing, left wing, centrist, they all have their points, but when coupled
with lunatic fringeness they all blend into one with their hatred.
At times those of the centrist lunatic fringe, with their disgust for all things
left or right wing, reveal themselves to be just haters hating the most.

Interesting.

'Those that oppose Mass Murdering Controlling Left-Wing Fanatics, and Mass Murdering Controlling Right-Wing Fanatics: Are themselves Fanatics, and Haters, for opposing Them'.

Only 'One of Them' would believe that. Correct?

Are You - One of Them?

oh for crying out loud, Clyde.

You really are the main reason I've been avoiding seti for the last week or so. I come and read this and just want to give up on the human race.

Everything is so polarised with you, I've never known someone who is clearly an extremist yet claims to be neither left nor right wing.

You make these weird hyperbolic inferences from what people say, then attack them for it. It is exhausting trying to talk to you.

i thought it was worth pointing out that there are higher dimensions
than just linear, binary, polar, right/left ways of thinking.
Self-righteous-nous from a centrist position really does come off
as little more than hating while sitting on the fence, and a
strategy used successfully by trolls.

...and there are quite a few who think he is a troll.

I however am reluctant to assume that about a person without more evidence. I actually think he really holds these opinions.

Maybe I am being played for a fool.
