This means that far-right conservatives "have won a victory, at least in terms of getting the leadership to go along with their strategy," Costa wrote.

I'm becoming tired of being considered "Far Right." Fiscally responsible citizens with a healthy respect for our original constitution and purpose are now labelled radicals and extremists. The scary part of that is it is starting to grow roots.

Who today is considered "Far Left"? Anyone. It seems the whole "left" can go screaming down hill towards socialism/facism and centralized, all powerfull government and not get labelled. But the further they go, the further right we become while standing still on our positions.

Boener then is like a raft adrift in a left current while tea party type folks are deep heavy anchors resisting the current.

It’s like they picked up the whole political spectrum and moved the curve 3 sigma to the left. What used to be Center is now Far Right. It’s growing roots because as Reich Minister Goebbels proved, propaganda works.

I guess the rub is the term you use, "Fiscally responsible citizen".

If the "fiscally responsible citizen" thinks the US can cut her way out of her looming deficit problems, then that citizen is not very fiscally responsible.

The US will have to grow her way out of the problem.

And to make things worse, if the "Fiscally responsible citizen" wants to drive the nation over the cliff, or dance around the edge of the cliff, the citizen is impeding economic growth and hastening the collapse of the nation.

And the question becomes, what credentials does this "fiscally responsible citizen" have? What does he know about it?

Amen! 'Far right' = normal, gun-owning, Constitution-embracing Americans.

How so very true! The political spectrum has indeed raced towards progressive socialism. JFK, with his positions on Business, taxes, government, strong credible Defense, RICO crime, would now be considered 'right' of Ronald Reagan.

You are right on point, 'they' keep putting it out there until the the phone zombies finally regurgitate it as fact. If we can't make the press play fair though, we can't stop it.
