In America today a rigtwing extremist generally speaking believes:

1/ Private endeavors are ALWAYS superior to Government endeavors.
2/ Prosperous people and enterprises have achieved that prosperity completely with their own
devices without any help from outside forces, especially government.
3/ Those who do not prosper generally have only themselves to blame. (just lazy!)
4/ Those with "superior" intellect or social morays should make and impose decisions for those
with "lesser" abilities.
5/ Diplomatic endeavors are intrinsically inferior to military might.
6/ Those who disagree with very conservative values are to be at best ignored and
at worst condemned and derided as "socialist", "un-American", "bleeding heart", "pinko",
"libtard", "baby-killers" etc (sounding familiar isn't it?)
7/ Any election which does not go the "right" way must have been influenced by fraud.
8/ "Principle" should never be compromised even when it becomes obvious that the "principle"
is rotten to the core.
9/ No one whose positions are different from mine can possibly have anything of value to add to
the conversation!
In fact none of the above is completely true.

This just scratches the surface but these observations are personified on this forum on a daily basis.

Now, what is a leftwing extremist...Well simply reverse or change a few words in 1,2,3,5,6,7,8 and 9 and you've nailed it. No 4 perfectly defines the political extremist at both ends of the spectrum!
