Forty years ago in a speech accepting the Republican presidential nomination, Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater exclaimed "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; and let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!" These views, coupled with the nation's continuing recoil from the murder of John F. Kennedy, created a one-sided election that confirmed that most Americans were arguably not ready for a president who represented the far right of political thought. I suspect that if Lyndon Johnson had campaigned forthrightly on his agenda of expanding government largesse, extolling affirmative action and his intention to stand before Congress reciting "We Shall Overcome," millions of voters would have rebelled against his decidedly left-leaning agenda.
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!" Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Convention Michael Moore wants to make you mad. And the chances are pretty good he's going to do it. Whether you're a knee-jerk liberal, a knee- jerk conservative or somewhere in the wide open spaces in between, there will be plenty in Moore's goading, galvanizing, fiercely opinionated cry from the heart to bring your blood to a boil. Heck, he's even got people mad who haven't seen Fahrenheit 9/11.
Tucson - like Dallas before it, and Columbine, and Virginia Tech, and ... the list is as endless as the tears those names evoke - has become more than just the site of senseless slaughter. It has become a rallying cry, a cause. In the weeks since the Jan. 8 mass shooting, many politicians and other well-intentioned people have seized upon Tucson to teach the entire population of the United States the lesson that the tone of our political discourse must moderate.

Recently I made a shocking discovery about myself. I'm a right- wing extremist. Thank goodness I found out in time. There is hope that I can be saved. Up to this point in my life I have been a peaceful, law abiding, love-your-neighbor kind of guy, but it seems that I have changed into an ogre of sorts that is a danger to society (liberal society), and should be dealt with before I and others like me do a great harm to the nation.
