Are you a left wing fringe dweller?
I heard a bit on the local noozradio by Politico. The yammerer was saying that Obama's order to send National Guard troops to the Arizona/Mexico border would get little pushback from Congressional Democrats. He then said the only pushback woud be from the fringe left.

I am now officially a fringe person.

How about you?

Fringe and proud of it.

14. I'm a socialist, which is amusing on this site...
I love all the "leftys" on this site, mostly because, to my eyes, most are, at best, barely left of center.

36. We didn't "become" fringe... we stood our ground while they kept moving the line
to the right. And they continue to move it daily.

23. Since I am convinced that my political views and all who share them are
the center of the moral universe, I must reject the "fringe" label.

And, since our views coincide more often than not, you are not a "fringe person" Mr. Clown.

We are RIGHT because we're LEFT and all who disagree with our revealed wisdom should be banished to---Arizona!

35. So did I.
I started as a fairly liberal dem. Now a raging Marxist. What 9-10 years will do is amazing.

27. Richard Fucking Nixon would be far to the left of these morons.
The so-called "center" of Amerikan politics these days is about where Spiro Agnew was back then.

32. Ditto. Agreed.
I said something similar to your comment last week. I think I added Eisenhower too.

39. Eisenhower would be stomped and spit on by today's Republicans.
You're absolutely right.

It cost me so many brain cells that now I'm a bonsai azalea bush.

29. I'm the way far left that Bill-o warned you about. Guess that puts me in the fringe.
I see I'm in good company.

34. Yep... matter of fact I wrote a post about this very thing a few
weeks ago explaining how I went from left wing Dem to far left loony without ever changing my positions on anything. We stand still and they move the line to the right.
