18. That was merited. The Right Wing Crap is made up, spun, and agenda driven by extremists

Extremists that want to control and hurt everyone else just so that they can feel better about themselves.

The only thing extreme about Left Wing extremists is their want for fairness and egalitarian treatment and for people to care about others in general.

Right Wingers (who are nowadays extremists) care only about themselves and believe in hurting as many people as possible for their own gain.
