Ideological Loons
July 16, 2025
Here's an interesting question: Which ideology has more fanatical loons, left or right?  There's no polling data on this because most people will never admit they hold "extreme" views.  The bubble they usually live in prevents rational assessment.
 
Anyway, I think there are more far-left folks in America than far-right.  I could be wrong, but with many enormous cities controlled by ardent leftists, the demographics are on my side.
 
Both political extremes are very vocal, and nutty messages are easily carried on social media.  The fanatical Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the most famous liberal politicians in the USA.  The equally fervent Marjorie Taylor Greene is working towards that status on the conservative side.
 
It was fascinating to see Ms. Greene try to block President Trump's arms deal with NATO.  Why, Marge?  Why do you want to help the psychopathic Putin?  Greene's congressional colleagues shut her down, but come on.
 
The far-right Senator Barry Goldwater believed that "extremism in defense of liberty is no vice."  But here's my retort. You can defend liberty without being an ideological loon!
 
Just ask George Washington.
 
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
