According to Senate minority leader Harry Reid and his friends, Democrats must block the constitutional appointment process in order to protect you from right-wing radical judges. They say they use the filibuster only in the most extreme situations, to block confirmation of extremely dangerous radicals to the bench for sake of all mankind.
Heroes they are really, at least in their own minds.
In order to understand what Mr. Reid and his friends mean by this assertion, we must first understand what they mean by “right-wing radical.”
Let’s begin with the simple stuff. If you believe Teddy Kennedy is a drunken coward who should have gone to prison for leaving his girl friend to die in the icy waters of Chappaquiddick as he ran and hid from authorities, you are right. But if you believe this voids his credibility as a national leader, you are a right-wing radical and you are sadly mistaken.
If you believe Bill Clinton should have done more to protect this nation by strengthening the military and our intelligence community rather than destroying them while he focused his attention on using the White House as a personal play-pen, you are right again. But if you believe America was weakened by Larry Flint Lite living in the White House, you are a right-wing radical.

He should have expanded this part to include "if you believe that the taking of criminal life in self defense or as punishment for specific actions is warranted, you are correct. But if you call it justified, you are a right-wing radical".
Well, I guess I am going to have to change my screen name a bit, how does RADICALVRWCer sound? Just about right, it seems! If the moniker fits...
a Right wing law abiding, tax paying, veteran of a foreign war, voting citizen radical.

This post reminds me of Jeff Foxworthy and his "you might be a redneck" jokes. My apologies to Jeff for comparing him to Dingy Harry.
