The political left labels as “extremists” those who want to see the U.S. government reduced to the size and scope that the Constitution permits.

This seems to include all “Make America Great Again” supporters, those who think Congress should exercise fiscal responsibility, parents who want to protect their small children from indoctrination in sexual deviancy and people who want to provide any sort of protection to preborn babies.

The question that is never asked — let alone answered — is, “Extremist compared to what?” What are they using as their reference point? It very obviously is not the Constitution of the United States.
