Hey, I agree with these positions. The government should NOT be in education, and the abortion issue should be decided at the state level.

However, if only 20-30% percent of the population agree with these principles, they are, by definition, on the extremes. Of course, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice." - Goldwater.

That's what you mean by "extremist positions"??!! Let me ask this then: 33% agreement with a position is "extreme" but 34% agreement is okay? Are you saying that only "indys" are not extremists?
