Lisa Smart: Don't elect extremists on the left or right, vote for common sense

 

We live in a society where people like to label anything they don't agree with. It seems that we've been hearing the words "radical" and "extremist" frequently. It seems that the far left love to intimidate, to diminish, and to suppress opinions they don't like. There is a "bipartisan" group in Belknap that openly supports big government and wants to "rid the county of this invasive species." They have posted their recommendations should you need help deciding who to vote for. Being right of center is an automatic X.

 

I believe radical extremism occurs on both sides of the political aisle.

You are probably a radical extremist if:

• You are so far right, or left, that you can't see the center clearly     

• You think it's OK to vote for the weakest candidate in the opposing party      • You think gun control equals gun safety         

• You think "green energy" will stop pollution        
• You think that it should be a woman's choice to kill a 9-month-old fetus        • You think only a Republican can be a radical extremist
