We are being held hostage in this country by an extremist minority on everything from gun policy to abortion. The vast majority of Americans want:<p></p>
- Semi-automatic rifles to be banned.
- Large capacity (bullet) magazines to be banned.
- Abortion (with limitations) to be legal.
- Full marriage equality.
- Separation of church and state.
- Voting eligibility to be easy, open and fair to maximize the number of eligible voters participating in our elections.
Instead, we are being ruled by those with fringe minority positions who are imposing their freak belief systems on us.
<p></p>What is wrong with us? Why are we permitting these religious jihadists, corrupt vote blockers and Second Amendment freaks to rule the majority? And these self-described “patriots” claim they are trying to “take back America.” No. They are, literally, stealing America from the majority who want sanity in our everyday lives.
<p></p>And that is insane.
<p></p>This should be the Democratic Party’s rallying cry:
We are being held hostage by a fringe minority in this country.
Enumerate the issues where these fringe jihadists are seeking to impose their draconian, far-out-of-the-mainstream views on the vast majority of Americans who don’t agree with freak beliefs. And hammer this home, everywhere, everyday by everyone.
