He's simply not allowed to take it (Patriot Act) down.........

he doesn't WANT to take it down. He likes it!

Wow! Re-read the propsals under Cap and trade, and tell me that's not extremist; and tell me exactly where they get the right to pass this kind of legislation under the Constitution?

  It doesn't matter what he thinks about the Patriot Act. Only Congress can repeal it or the Supreme Court can strike it down as unconstitutional, which it is. So there's really no point to your argument that he likes it.
  
  To my mind, extremism involves a complete disregard for the wishes of anyone except yourself and your followers. Even direct violations of the Constitution are not necessarily extremist (which is not to say I approve of them).
  
  If you want to include cap and trade under that, you're entitled to your opinion. But so am I--my opinion is that your opinion is absurd.
  
  And again--back to the real point. True extremism always leads to oppression. It IS a vice, Goldwater notwithstanding.
