Am I an extremist?

The July 2 Spokesman-Review editorial stated that extremists are becoming Republican Party officers and elected officials. However, remember that leftists accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being racists and extremists. I wonder if I would meet the author’s definition of an extremist.

I believe that voting should be limited to U.S. citizens only, and that they must actually be alive and vote only once in any given election. I believe that officials of sanctuary cities should be held accountable for violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants under their protection. The most recent high-profile case was the murder of a woman in San Francisco by an illegal immigrant who had seven felony convictions and had been deported five times.

I believe the dissecting of a third-term baby in the womb and removing the pieces with forceps is immoral. I believe it is wrong for Washington public schools to be giving IUDs to girls as young as in the sixth grade without parental knowledge. I do not believe that people with legitimate religious convictions should be forced to participate in any activities that violate their beliefs.

If these beliefs make me an extremist, then I wear the label proudly.
