Then that is my ill understanding of that label. BTW, by "here" do u mean in the West, in the United States, in WAB, or in the this world?

I do not equal ultra right wing to neo Nazis. Therefore, we are NOT seeing things eye to eye here. But if I would to follow your translation of the word "ultra right" and equal that to Neonazi and skinheads, then I can safely say that I have yet to see such member in this board, of the people who posts here ofcourse.

You still DO have to tell me, what do you mean by "We here generally place that label on people". As you know we have different nationalities, background and ideas in this very international forum. As you know we do not all follow the same translation that America has for different terms and ideas.

I challenge you to show one single post, where I describe myself as a liberal. If anything I am centrist.

I never totally disagree with anything. I hear all things and try to judge from a fair point of view. If American translation translates that into being liberal: so be it.

Dear JAD, if you care to notice, many people that I listed in the previous post as WAB's sources of technical information, have very diverging political views.
and I agree with most of their political views eventhough they are in complete clash with my own, simply because I am putting myself in their shoes and see things from their views. About yourself, I dont know you very well. I would probably rate you as someone with a balance view purely based on the underline phrase you wrote.
