We have allowed these radicals to gradually infect our society and destroy our basic tenets of freedom, personal responsibility and capitalism. Also (a comment guaranteed to infuriate many), the "Greatest Generation" ended the Depression and won World War II (our eternal gratitude is certainly with them), but they, perhaps more than any other group, destroyed America with excessive "tolerance" and with the outlandish indulgence of their children, all under the banner of "I want my children to have what I never did". Remember, this is the generation that raised and allowed the disaster that was the '60's generation (that's "us" and our kids running the country/world now). This is where it's gotten us.
It doesn't really matter what side your favorite radicals are on ... far left ... far right ... doesn't matter. Both are destructive because both cater to relatively small groups of people with a very specific agenda at the expense of the many. The amazing thing to me is that "the many" let them get away with it.
