Okay, obviously this is a public post, and anyone can reply, but who the hell are you, and where did you come from?
Focus on the Family practically self-describes as fundamentalist. I consider much of their movement to be extremist. Just because a lot of people are blindly buying into their rhetoric doesn't make it "moderate". They have always been further right than the center-point of their party, and they're dragging the party lines further and further right to accommodate their demands. They advocate hate speech against gays, use false science and false medical statistics to advocate the banning of birth control, and push Christianity into what should be a secular government.
They appear "plain vanilla" on the surface, and ONLY on the surface. A bit of research into their connections with other organizations reveals a much nastier picture.
