Hi American Humans,
There has been a disturbing trend in American Human politics for each party to be dominated by the exremes. Now let's say it like it is. This radicalism has been particularly virulent and even violent in the Right wing of the Republican party. This Pailinism has resulted in the recent tragedy in Tucson, Arizona. When you continuously demonize your opponents and talk about them with violent language like putting them in the "cross hairs," you can expect that some crazy person out there might actually take you seriously and literally. A generation ago during the Vietnam War the Left seemed to attract radicals, but nowadays the Republican party seems to have the edge in attracting radical crazy people.
