I love this country very much, and I'm proud to live here, but I think our current administration is extreme. These are not merely conservative people, these are extreme right-wing people.

Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.

You can't really be passionately moderate. It's like wearing an 'Extra Medium' - it doesn't exist.

Extremes are dangerous.

Don't avoid extremes, and don't choose any one extreme. Remain available to both the polarities - that is the art, the secret of balancing.

Sometimes the results of a first free election will find the moderates so poorly organized that extreme groups can eke out a victory, as Hamas did when it gained a 44-to-41 percent margin in the Palestinian election of 2006.

The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it's hardly a traditional political party anymore.

Moderate people are able to be moderate and have free speech only because there are some people on the fringe.

Conservatives really don't believe in politics as the primary instrument of getting along in life and therefore don't tend to put their energy into it a way people left of center do.

In any society, there will be the whole spectrum of views. You will get the extremists on the far right and also the far left.
