While they pose no danger, they are not dangerous like the fringe left, they are still out of touch with the reality of the world. It cracks me up when we get these true believers on the left or right. Often they are some of the most dumb of the bunch.<br /><br />Is the Tea Party fringe?

Everything is a crisis and everything is a "big deal."

It has just been that the press/media had enough sense to pretty much ignore them. Now it not only no longer ignores them, it puts them in the center <b>because</b> they are noisy and exciting, and ignores the mainstream, reasonable majority of people who actually think things through, because those people are not entertaining.Jayhawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756807802218022043noreply@blogger.com
