Ceeboo,

I think maybe a better approach or take on your opening post is something along the lines of of, "Should we fear radicals?"

To that I say, "Absolutely."

Look also at the German American Bund, the KKK, the Silver Shirts, the Christian Front, the Minutemen, the Bruder Schweigen, Sovereign Citizens, the various militias extant throughout the 90s and up to now...none represented of "The Left" but all dangerous domestic terrorists. Ceeboo needs to take a walk through the Southern Poverty Law Center's files...but I'm sure Dennis Prager would not approve. :lol:

The Minutemen are terrorists? Do you also want to see ICE abolished Maksutov? I know that's the mainstream Democrat view now.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I agree with this...with the caveat I don't think fear is the correct response. But I also don't think you meant it so much as you were using the term from the OP. Extremists at the ends of the political spectrum are most likely to be intolerant of other views. And intolerance, certitude and ignorance are the unholy trinity at the heart of the worst of human behaviors.

Left: let's not put kids in concentration camps

Right: so you want open borders now

Left: wtf?

The Minutemen organization founded and run by Robert DePugh was a terrorist organization. Why are you babbling on about ICE and Democrats? :rolleyes: Turn off the wingnut sheet and use your head. Jesus H.

Did The Left conduct lynchings for decades? Did the Left organized antigovernment militias and blow up Oklahoma City? Did the Left try to prevent the US from entering WW2 so that Hitler could win? Nope. The "Right" has all the political power now, all the guns. Looks like the conservatives are the biggest cowards, snowflakes and delusional twits on the scene now. :lol:

Huh. I had to google Robert DePugh. Ajax, aren't you embarrassed by that guy? He was a full blown turd monster.

Concentration camps, huh? That's an example of what Ceeboo is talking about.

No. It's the Right that is doing this. What part of concentration camp is inaccurate? Would you have preferred internment camp?

The use is technically accurate:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/diction ... ion%20camp

: a camp where persons (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, or refugees) are detained or confined.

Have evil leftists taken over Merriam-Webster, or are conservatives chafing over not being able to redefine this word?

The only thing that could embarrass Ajax is discovering a black ancestor. :lol:
