Grandpa,

You know I couldn't let your last post on this subject go by without commenting on it. I would agree with your statement if we change a couple of phrases. Try this on for size.

"Extreme ideology is a mental disorder. Those who have this disorder need immediate hospitalization. The ideological minority always wants CONTROL over the majority."

I know many conservatives and liberals that take a thoughtful and reasoned approach to most issues, they consider them on their merits and take actions based on their analysis. I know some ideologues on both the right and the left who can not make any determination until they find out how their sponsors/mentors want them to act. Singling out liberals only deals with half the problem.

A side note rant - most people in the US do not understand the difference between being Liberal and being Socialistic. There are deep and fundamental differences. Being the well-traveled fella that I know you to be, I'm sure you understand the differences. However, I have heard the terms used interchangeably enough to know that a lot of folks don't understand the difference.

As always, Grandpa, I like your posts and of course I like you - redneck reactionary that you are.
