Richardson, Texas (AP) -- Maybe all the criticism from Rush Limbaugh is sinking in.

But in the final analysis it was a joke and sarcasm.
The only “fact of life” is this.
It’s not about “The Party” it’s about standing for what you believe in and not willing to compromise any further.
Those who think we haven’t really thought this through are deluding themselves.

“Actually Nazi’s are so far to the right that they are butt buddies with the Communists who are too far to the left.”
My point is that the “far right” description of Nazis is extremely misleading given the conventional designation of conservatives as right wing, because Nazis are exactly opposite conservatives on all the important issues: value of human life, absolute moral righteousness of Christianity, individual liberty, private property, free markets.
I understand your point.
