At this point in time, the Republicans are an extremist group.
It used to be that something like the John Birch Society was considered extremist; now you have to reach for the KKK and the like, which used to be whatever you would label beyond extremist, wacko or crazy or what have you. It's another symptom of how far the country has moved to the right.
The Republicans are now rather obviously for a flat tax.
The Republicans now have repealing abortion as a plank of their platform.
The Republicans are for "preventive war."
The Republicans have succesfully made the tax system more regressive.
20 years ago, these were the ideas of crazies, fringe groups. Now they are part of Republican ideology. Republicans are an extremist group.
