26. Please do not include ME with you when you don't know me as you said you are brand new

As for radicals? Well, when none of the above includes anything about

equality for Blacks, Hispanics, Women, Gays, Jews, and any other minority in America, well,
that is radical.

A real liberal cares about those things I mentioned more than the others, because unless 100% of all people are actually equal, the other stuff is meaningless far left soundbytes
with all those same stale soundbytes railing against Ron Paul type issues.

and yes, I consider Rand and Ron Paul and their friends in the JBS like David Duke to be extremists.

I am working for an 80-20 America and to make obsolete the views of the vocal 20% of America that flank both sides.

being that you used WE in the title, I assume you wanted my opinion, however
again
Please do NOT use WE unless you specify exactly who WE is, because I am ME not WE.
