I know I'm one of the fringe kooks because I think we should strengthen our boarders and stop this unabated flow of illegal immigrants.

I know I'm one of the fringe kooks because I think Bush's 150 federal programs isn't even a good start. We should shut down the NEA and the federal Dept. of Edumacation if we want to get a good start.

I know I'm one of the fringe kooks because I think we should drastically cut the size and scope of federal government.

I know I'm one of the fringe kooks because I supported Herman Cain for the U.S. Senate and thought putting another do-nothing Republican on the ballot "just because he would win" wasn't a good idea.

But I especially know I'm one of the fringe kooks because I think federal spending should be limited to nothing more than national defense and lighthouses. :-)

eyespy: How do you know you're one of the fringe kooks?

Well, since I agree with you on all the points you listed, I guess that would make me a fringe kook too. I don't agree with everything that Hannity says, nor with Bush on everything, etc. and probably not with on other things.

I don't mean to belabor the point, however since I wasn't around at that time Hannity came here, I still don't understand why you believe you specifically would fall in the group he referred to. And at this point it really doesn't matter. All this began as conversation and I don't want it to escalate to more than that.

As I said in prior post, I really enjoy the exchanges and I read more than I post. I learn a lot and value this site for the info and educated insights of others (not that all fall in that category) and I sure don't want to be a pain in the posterior or make enemies. Please forgive my questioning, especially since I don't view your points as fringe but a good conservative. I assumed that what Hannity referred to were people who are way over the line and annoyingly so. I'm sure some less conservative would view us that way. Anyway, thanks for your explanation
