Extremism? Whose extremism?

[Stu]

“Extremism” has become code in certain circles for any potential federal jurist who is convinced that Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood got it wrong. Yet why is that judgment an “extreme” position?

Catholics and evangelics protestants and all the faithful christians have to fight against this anti-christian culture, the ilustration culture, the relativist culture, without the challenge of this culture, we are extremists for them, and people who don´t read, thought that we are extremists

“Extremism” is such a typically liberal word. It has zero content. It is meaningless. Designed to spark an emotional and negative reaction.

Reminds me of 1992 when Bill Clinton campaigned on the need for “change.”

Uh…huh…that tells us a lot. Change. Yeah, I’m for that! And I’m against “extremism”. Whatever that is.

Ilustration, was a very beautiful word but was used against christianism, see the french intelectuals in that time.
