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

Correction for the author: That should read HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS.

People, are we all out of BARF ALERT stickers?

[grobdriver]

including the wars we fight

And I'd say he's slightly over the "peace, love, dove" line.

Fighting wars is one of the jobs of the federal government - none of the BS spending going on now can say the same.

Doesn’t Homeland Security realize that labeling all Conservative dissent as extremism might become a self fulfilling prophecy?

[boxerblues]

It is not "extremist," but logical to recognize that stopping the radical expansion of government will require radical opposition against it. And as that opposition, determined conservatives should expect to be called "terrorists" or worse for the foreseeable future.

I can live with being called a logical terrorist

Here are some of those increasingly radical, dangerous, right-wing Tea Part protestors:

It is precisely because they are not radical, and because they represent the tens of millions of hard working, productive, and normally not active people across the width and breadth of this nation, who are finally getting fed up with our own representatives tearing down this country in every imaginable way, that Obama and his ilk fear them and want to demonize and marginalize them.

But, for the very same reasons, that wont work.

“Last week, thousands of Americans protested nationwide at various “tea parties” to denounce the government. Some called for the impeachment of our leaders, other for their arrest.”

I didn’t hear of anyone at the Tea Party protests call for impeachment or arrest of the current administration.

According to Pooploosli,

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

But then, looking at how she lives, and how stupid her voting base is, she is more like a Country Club 18th hole green, who still thinks she is Shirley Temple.

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’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.

"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.

Good post and right on the money.

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.

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

AMEN!!

[takenoprisoner]

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.
