Has ANYONE asked when the leftwing extremist report will be released? Where are our senators and representatives? Why don’t they gather on the Capitol steps en masse and ask for the leftwing version.

What? There is none? But, but, but what about ACORN’s fraud and intimidation of voters at voting locations? Or A.N.S.W.E.R., the anarchy promoters? Weather Underground? LaRaza? And the list goes on.

Call your senators and representatives and demand they get a spine.

I have trouble believing that anyone who still believes in the Marx Fairy could be that astute, but you are probably right.

I’d say that Pat Buchanon is not a conservative. He’s a pro-Arab reactionary and an isolationist.

I used to think that he was unfairly smeared as “anti-semitic”. He’s since done a masterful job of demonstrating the fairness of those charges.

Look at history. Every time leftist/collectivists attain power, they criminalize and murder their political opposition.

I’ve sparred with leftists on other sites, they have this mentality as well. It goes with the collectivist mindset.

"I'd say that Jack Hunter is pretty much on the money."

I'd say that Jack Hunter comes up a dollar short.

A careful reading of the article shows he praises "the radical right" with faint damns and damns them with faint praises.

Kinda like that noted weeny fence-straddler, Bill O'Reilly. Torrents of words, words, words but very few drops of gutsy stands.

As a result, many conservatives criticized the antiwar movement for being made up of a bunch of lunatics. And anyone against President Bush, they said, simply didn't understand that the creation of new agencies like the Department of Homeland Security or legislation like the Patriot Act by Bush were necessary to protect the country from terrorists — and perhaps antiwar protesters.

Whoa. Hold on there Jack.

'Many conservatives' criticized and were against the creation of the DHS. As that bureaucratic monster was originally the idea of the demoncRATS. And so was Bush initially, until he finally caved with his 'reaching across the aisle' junk. The same for the Patriot Act. 'Many conservatives' criticized that as it was thought, okay we could trust Dubya, but NOT the likes of Hillary, or any demoncRAT, with all that power.

And those conservatives were right. Barry and his DHS has now labeled all conservatives and one-half of Americans (at the least) as 'extremists' and potential domestic terrorists.

Jack Hunter is under the mistaken impression that all conservatives were Kool-Aid drinking Bushbots.

One difference I’ve noticed between Liberals and Conservatives is that Liberals object to any label applied to them, even what they were calling themselves last week, while Conservatives glory in any epithet used to label them.

“I didn’t think this article needed a barf alert.”

I didn’t either. I thought it was a good post. And, FWIW, count me in among the lunatics, extremists or whatever you wish to call those of us who are fed up to the eyeballs with the B.S. coming from Washington.—JM

I have no problem with defense spending, since it is one of the few constitutionally mandated powers of the federal government.

It’s all the other spending outside of constitutionally enumerated powers that pisses me off.

If the UN Rights of the Child treaty is passed,
we won’t be “allowed” to spend on defense more than 50% of what we spend on “children’s rights”.

I hadn't thought of it before quite that way before, but you are right. Believing in the right and necessity of murdering every nonbeliever who doesn't submit is part and parcel with believing in the Marx Fairy.

Pretty much the same as Mohammedans.

Have you no patience? They are writing one as fast as they can./s

Seems I heard something about one last week- someone on FOX News said it basically said the left could be a problem concerning computers- hacking or something like that.

...it will remain absolutely crucial that any future efforts are not co-opted as yet another faux-populist tool for the GOP establishment.

AMEN!!

We are not “Grass Roots”, we are “AstroTurf”, funded and populated by the Rich.

I wasn't paid to go to the Tea Party nor was I bussed there by some political organization.

They do that therefore they expect others do, too.

Not quite ready to compare obama to Hitler, but I do compare him to his socialist/commie brothers in turd world leaderships.

With this flamboyount display of solidarity between the two socialists as exhibiited above, and obama's taking control of big business, is there any doubt in anyone's mind that obama's intended "change" is from capitalism to socialism?

It's past time for the conservative right to go extremely radical. That, or we can go where obama and friends, (like Chavez), intends to take us...from freedom and liberty to international property.

“Not quite ready to compare obama to Hitler, but I do compare him to his socialist/commie brothers in turd world leaderships.”

Yes, it is unfair to compare Obama to Hilter...afterall, Hilter SERVED in his country’s miltary and actually wanted to BUILD up, not destroy the military....Hitler was a monster...Obama is just a dumbass.
