Well then, so be it.

Those who birthed this nation and fought for freedom were also called terrorist.

Simple. Following Orwell’s rule, anyone even thinking about opposing the regime is an extremist.

What makes a person an extremist?

Rhetorical question, I'm sure. Belief in God, Country, Duty, Honor, Life-Long Commitment to your Wife or Husband (of the opposite sex), belief in Two-Parent families, belief that a marriage can ONLY be between one man and one woman, belief in the Protestant Work Ethic, belief in Judeo-Christian Values, belief in limited government, belief in the God-granted rights of the individual to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, belief that Collectivism in all its forms is pure unadulterated evil, belief in the wonders of free markets and the Invisible Hand to guide economic decision making, belief in the Rule of Law, not Rule of Man, belief that people are welcome to immigrate to the United States if they follow our immigration laws.

Belief in any or all of these simple tenets makes you an "extremist" these days.

I believe George Washington was a Right Wing Terrorist. In fact, he was the leader of the insurgents. Liberals of today would have killed or betrayed George Washington

Right Wing classically included Royalists in its bounds. George Washington was an anti-Royalist. There's simply no way he could be considered Right Wing.

Remember, American political life is laid out along different lines than were applicable to the French national assembly in the 1790s.

Actually I disagree. And, the typical honest American who owns a gun feels infringed upon by an over authoritarian government.

Heavy regulations were enforced upon the Colonists in the late 1700’s that forced them to make a decision to break from that type of government. Today, heavy regulations from an authoritarian government is forcing a segment of the population to make a stand politically from the leadership. Which would mean the real Right Wing leadership is the democrats. Quite a twist when you look at the facts

i'm sorry you feel that way. my Scottish ancestors arrived in 1702 ready for a fight. just a matter of time for them. And the French ancestors? A number of them arrived as White Coats prepared to fight to save North America from a foreign invader ~ to wit, the Brits. When George Rogers Clark came to their town (where they'd prepared to make a last stand) they signed up in his militia forces without a moment's hesitation.

There were latecomers to the battle ~ they started showing up about 1775 ~ but they were still latecomers.

The French, Spanish, Swedish, Dutch, Germans, and many of the Iroquis (Oneida mostly, but thousands of other non-confederation Iroquois) thought the Revolution was long overdue ~ about time ~ definitely something that should have started earlier.

You can look it up ~ the Cahokia militia rushed to Fort St. Joseph in Michigan to turn back the English ~ they took the only flag they had ~ that of Spain!

BTW, Spain was an ally in that war.

If you disagree with me you are saying the only issue in the Revolution was a small armory in New England that held the gunpowder so vital to life in those days.

I would say a few things, but will probably cause more discussions. :o) First of all this is not South vs the North thing. Old news and not the same situation. This is an all of us Americans fighting against communism issue. %80 of the American Military is conservative, God fearing, patriotic Americans that will not turn their guns on Americans. This is why, one of many reasons, obummer wants to sequester the military. Oh yes, for side a note. F-22 Raptors, made in Texas. The Bradley and current MRAPS used in the middle east right now, made in Louisiana. Just saying. In fact, how about some military people from Louisiana now.

“While liberal worldviews are future- or progressive -oriented,”

Yeah, like Russia in 1918.

The report adds: “While far-right groups’ ideology is designed to exclude minorities and foreigners, the liberal-democratic system is designed to emphasize civil rights, minority rights and the balance of power.”

Yes, liberals look upon minorities as useful idiots or a dependent constituency that keeps the liberal elite in power.

They are for a balance of power as long as that balance is with them in their elitist circle.

Having someone like this at West Point further illustrates the left’s infiltration of all education institutions. They play the long war. They will further indoctrinate our men and women military officers to do their bidding.

Finally, they support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government.

Gosh. They better keep a close eye on this guy:

"We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God."

-- James Madison, chief architect of the U.S. Constitution and our fourth President

I’m pretty future-minded — which is precisely why I don’t like the direction our government’s going, or has been going, for far longer than I’ve been at all interested in politics. (When I was 12 or so I thought the government shouldn’t heap up debts — that was in the 90s.)
