Yes, and despite your infantile attempt to the contrary, they all fall between the two extremes I mentioned.

Except they don't and you failed to answer me. Where do you, personally judge religious extremism (like Iran or Isis) and economic extremism (like Russia or China) they don't by definition go hand in hand. Yes the opposite to both is batshit freedom but only in the most technical sense. I'm against any sort of religious controls. Social. . . well we have to discuss it. I'm not pro slavery, I am pro women's choice even if it means forcing doctors to do shit they don't want to. Economic again we have to discuss it. I'm definitely in favor of patents and copyrights (which a minimal government would not be. If you can make it cheaper and better you win. That's how Capitalism is supposed to work no?) I have mixed feelings about geographic monopolies. I'm all in on Net Neutrality.

We're talking about political systems of Western government. We aren't talking about religious extremism, witch doctors, Shamans, Rune reading, Chicken bone analysis, or any other form of divination from entrails. We are talking about all "political" possibilities fall between the extremes of total government or complete anarchy, no matter what it is based on.

Why? We have religious extremist in the west. They are against gay marriage, and abortion, they reject evolution and often global warming (because Man can't fuck up what God put in place) so I don't get why we should ignore people who have aligned themselves with roughly half the nation.

In the West churches do not run the government. They may influence the people who do. Religion isn't what is in question. It is governmental structure, all of which fall between the limits I described, no matter who or what motivates them.

Except it doesn't and I explained why not. Churches do run the government in America. It's not formal, like the Pope doesn't offiicially reign but our arguments on sex ed, abortion and evolution are clearly driven by religion. Christianity specifically.

This is total bullshit. The Constitution is the foundation of American government, rightly or wrongly all government actions and policy exist between the extremes I've posted.

But that gives us no boundaries.

Degrees is Marxist redistribution as well.

That's an interesting typo. At least, I hope it's a typo.

Churches do not run the government, at least not now, although they have a lot more influence than they should. If they did run the country, the things you mention would be illegal, and they are mostly legal now and getting moreso all the time. Personally, I believe they should all be fully legal.

You should legit come to the bible belt and try to teach evolution to creationists. It's not fun. Our senator uses his religious bullshittery to fuck everyone over and /still wins elections/. It baffels the mind.

What a stupid, baseless article. Liberals are scared to death of Walker. He's the only Republican who has a chance of beating The Beast.

I will never understand why some people here cite the opinions expressed on sites such as Salon and try to pass them off as fact.

Because libs hate facts and logic.

Why would anybody be afraid of Walker?

As for the Southern Strategy it's not even a matter of debate, it is real, Republicans do employ it. Maybe Walker is, maybe Walker isn't. I'd like to think after Romney tried that that it really would be the last time anybody tried that strategy but hey I've been wrong.

I notice how the article said this:
This emerging strategy is reminiscent of Richard Nixon’s original “Southern strategy” of 1968 and Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign kickoff event. Reagan started his campaign by championing state’s rights in Neshoba County in Mississippi, a site whose only national symbolic significance was serving as the site of the 1964 murders of three civil rights workers.


They're wrong. It was George Wallace, a Democrat who tried the "Southern Strategy" in 1968, and carried many of the southern states. And, or course, it was Carter in 1980 and Clinton in 1992.

They are also wrong about Reagan's announcement of his candidacy for the presidency: http://www.reagan.utexas.edu/archives/speeches/major.html#.VPd3msIfp8Q

The speech in Neshoba Co. came in 1980, when the campaign was well underway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan's_Neshoba_County_Fair_"states'_rights"_speech

Carter and Clinton? Citation needed.

Carter and Clinton, who were southerners, were elected POTUS in 1976 and 1992 respectively. I hope you don't need any particular proof of that.

If you want more, though, here was the result in 1976, when Carter dominated the South:

and 1992, when Clinton won a majority of the former slave states:
