“the rabid left does seem to be a major mover in US politics... they keep the left from being sensible and the rest of us have to live with it”
Actually the Rabid Left is a small fraction of the population. It is the elitist element that exploits these lunatics for their own political agenda that we have to be aware of. They are no different then any minority group.
Lawyers steal from them, politicians treat them like trained seals and they are more then willing to perform for a fish.
These people are too stupid to realize that they already own a fishing pole and the politicians want to take it away from them.
