Extremists must be stopped
I agree with most of the letters in Talk Back about what we should do regarding the extremists in the Middle East.
Therefore, we should cut off all financial aid to anyone affiliated with the tea party, an extremist group in the United States -- no bailouts, no subsidies, no Medicare, no Social Security checks, and certainly we shouldn't allow them to use public facilities such as roads and libraries. They shouldn't be allowed to use services provided by union members: police, firefighters, nurses, teachers, etc.
These extremists won't listen to reason; facts don't change their minds. They refuse to negotiate and keep trying to take all of our rights away (with the exception of gun rights). They don't like anyone who doesn't believe everything they believe.
I'm tired of the media kowtowing to these extremists for fear of being labeled "mainstream."
If financial penalties don't sway these extremists, we'll have to take the next step: Move them to someplace uninhabited (the South Pole?) and let them lift themselves up by their own bootstraps.
We cannot allow these extremists to turn our country into a barbaric, bullying state.
