I find it surreal that my core political beliefs about ending governmental theft and following the Constitution are considered "extremism and wackiness" by a nationally syndicated columnist.

Do you really care what other people think?

Besides, this Eugene Robinson is just another Washington Post columnist writing for the Beltway echo chamber.  His Pulitzer was for commentary, not investigation.

Only if they're correct, if they have a valid criticism about some fault in my thinking -- or if, like cops, they can do bad things to me regardless of which of us is in the right.

What I was getting at, is that columns like this make me realize with a jolt that other people operate on vastly different starting premises about what is moral.
