Yes, I am that for sure, an extremist. I am totally against taxes, consider them extortion. I think all government regulations are vile, cases of prior restraint and thus unjust. I think a government has only the function assigned to it in the Declaration of Independence, namely, to protect our rights.
I knew I was an extremist from the time Barry Goldwater announced that "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." That's because an extremist is just someone who holds a set of positions that is internally consistent, uncompromising, and demands full integrity.
It does us a disservice to be considered extremists for simply expecting to live as we were meant to live by those who initiated this experiment known as a Constitutional Republic.

You mean force onto others a life of servitude to giant multinational corporations. Unregulated by a weak ineffectual government. Until those giant multinational corporations strip every single resource out of this planet and make it completely uninhabitable for human or any other life form.
Gotcha

Actually no, we don't live in a constitutional republic, it's a Democratic Republic. I am sure you don't care what the difference is.

This is the first I've read from this individual but will certainly look forward to more from him.
