What do you think about the lunatic fringe?

Question

In my case I am a conservative and see these idiots come on here and call Bush that and this, claim our government did 9/11, and hope we lose in Iraq so they can claim we were wrong etc etc....

Sadly the far right has its idiots too like the anti Gay religous crowd that was trying to protest servicemens funerals.

What do you think when you open a question here and its from these wackos' on the deep end? Do you feel differently when they are on your side or the other? Which side has more? I feel bad when I see right wingers since I consider myself a hard line right winger. The left group always intrigues me since I thought the left believed in more love then hate?

Answer 1

I think the ones on the far side of either party really hurt everyone, including their own party. I'm a conservative and pretty conservative - towards the libertarian side, believe in small government etc.

Answer 2

It varies.

Sometimes I can tell they really don't know squat and I'll say something like, 'geez would u pls get informed.''

But the ones that really get me are the ones that are extreme right that talk about things like eliminating the min. wage, etc... Those ones make me angry and at the same time depressed for mankind. Depressed for the future of the USA.

Actually before coming to this site, I don't think I knew how extreme some of the extreme nazi rights are. And I can sadly say that I have begun to hate them back as much as they hate me. I truly wish them illwill in terms of I truly wish that they lose everything they own, etc.. and have to depend on someone else or help for something.

Btw, your premise was in err. I am a far far far left liberal and I don't know any democrats or liberals that want us to lose the war just to say we were right. See for us it is not a competition. Just by you saying that proves a point I have made on here before... that for some reason republicans see this as a competition and you would rather see our country run straight into ww3 than 'in your eyes' admit defeat. We do not see it that way. We just want our country to survive... meaning have all the same liberties we had before. The way things are going.. when this is over, sure we will win the war but we will have given up our entire way of life. It is only a competition TO YOU.

Answer 3

I feel that these that you call the lunatic fringe are actually thinking for themselves, whether they are right or wrong is not relevent. I think EVERYBODY needs to think for themselves, and take what the government says as the opposite for what is given
.
I am a conservative Democrat, I believe in Jesus, God, USA and Apple Pie. I also believe that there are a "few" people in high places that have abused their power, and set us on a course far more dangerous than we can imagine. Whether it be making the children of Iran today, terrorists for tomorrow, or making the acid rain and global warming worse by deliberately lessoning the pollution controls for big business.
It all boils down to greed!
If you still believe that duubyu is good, read up on the "Blair Papers", but all in all, I believe that bush is a pawn and rove and cheney are the criminals that need to be brought down and shot for crimes against humanity.

Answer 4

What bugs me more is the dumb patriots who promote killing even though they may sound logical. I dont mind stupid or over the board humorous questions that much. I think part of the function of yahoo answers is to take out some aggression so that we dont actually use it on some people.

Answer 5

Believe in everybody that loves morality and world peace whether on the right or on the left.

Answer 6

I think the lunatics on either side just give more ammo to their opponents & make their own side look bad.

Answer 7

Bunch of nutcases.

Answer 8

The lunatic fringe... hey, that's where I keep my beer!
