I say this as a liberal from a very strong liberal family who helped liberal candidates in former elections. I haven't changed my basic beliefs much but my party was taken over by socialist extremists/communists. I'm still an old school centrist, but now I'm called far right at times by people who are delusional and out of touch with reality to the point where they can't see they are very very far left. Reality will likely set in hard someday when confronted by the rapidly growing power of the Muslim conservative world.

Nobody can change human nature. There will always be left, right, center and in between. Going extreme one way or the other will just invoke an extreme backlash someday. In the end, just many more senseless deaths/victims. Until we all accept a core belief in open and respectful dialogue and willingness to negotiate acceptable compromises our human condition will just continue to deteriorate. After all there's always evil people around who love to capitalize on conflict and chaos.
