The use of the word extremism, to define common sense, economic awareness, decline in the purchasing power of the dollar, erosion of a citizens constitutional rights, and pending financial destruction of the United States, is a very poor choice of words. Possibly one should rethink the use of the word.
Funny how the liberal progressive movement attempts to neatly compartmentalize and label all those that choose to disagree with their position.
Ideological intolerance exhibited toward one group that voices concern and disgust of another's position is simply disagreement, no need to utilize labeling and shock words or phrases, unless of course the substance of your position is so weak that you have no other choice.
