And people wonder why we are basically a two-party system.

I found the Libertarian view of banning smoking and legalizing marijuana worthy of a chuckle.

Marxist/Leninist? Are you kidding me?

Reparations with interest? Not with my tax dollars... my ancestors were quietly minding their own business while being oppressed by the British in Ireland when all that was going on, then came here for 'no Irish need apply'.

Open up to Chavez? Must be the 'kiss ass for oil' program.

Illegal immigrants? keyword there is illegal, deport them when you catch them.
