Conservative historian Lee Edwards noted that the comparison aspect should be handled with care, since the “so-called right wing or parties of the right” in other countries “can be much more extreme than what they have here.”
The European right can be further left that the left is here. Pim Fortuyn comes to mind.

The sleight of hand is tying “conservative” thought to “right-wing” thought.
Most people won’t see the trick.

Isn’t this redundant now that Napolitano released her study on conservatives?

Haven’t they done this before and come to the conclusion that we’re all mentally ill and/or retarded?

An equivalent center to study the minds of leftwingers was established but after a week had run out of work to do.

If you want to delve into the history of conservative thought, you might want to try Berkeley. Nah, I think I'll go elsewhere, sources that have at least a minimal regard for the truth.

so-called right wing or parties of the right” in other countries “can be much more extreme than what they have here.”Maybe, just maybe, they''l cover some of the worlds most notorious dictators and notice a connection between what they believed and what the American left believes today. It could be an unexpected awakening.

At some point, being conservative will make us the counter-culture.

I betcha this is linked with that study done a few years ago (not remembering the title right now, but authors were Kruglansky, Jost, and two others). I think it was titled, “conservatism as motivated social cognition.”
It was all about how conservatism was “right-wing authoritarianism” and based on a number of studies. It was a metastudy. The Frankfurt school was referenced extensively.
Bears watching. Another smear job in the works.

This should be laughable at best. The best thing EVER to come out of Berkely was . . . . . . . . . um, . . . . . . . . . . er, . . . . . . . . . . . . Hmph!! As near as I can tell, NOTHING good has ever come out of Berkly.
