A Brief History of the Radical Right

[alienlovechild 75]

But lets not detract from the carnage the Right Wingers have wreaked upon this country of ours. And now that they lost control of the WH and Congress, they suddenly become outraged over Federal spending to the point of talk of secession and revolution. Read some of the Right Wing blogs....the posts are frightening. These extremists mean business. They want control back and they'll do just about anything.

The extreme right never held office so they won't be bitter about losing power. Obama and Democrats are increasingly authoring an folding economic disaster. The stimulus has failed and the Dems are already asking for billions more. By mid-term elections 2010 it won't be just the right but most people ready to dump Obamaism. The charm factor is wearing thin with the overexposure and there's not much more to point to as positives.

The economy has shown signs of recovery, so the doom & gloom scenario you are suggesting isn't quite reality. Furthermore I know Republicans don't like to hear this, but Obama inherited a mess & has only been in office for less than 6 months so its still too early to grade his administration. However if you look at Obama's decisions if anything he has taken a centrist approach to most issues, not a far left ideology that the far right would like to label Obama as.

As for extremists (far right or left) they are the problem, not the solution. They are too stubborn, close-minded & arrogant to realize this so the only way to prevent their extreme views from having any real influence is to make sure you don't vote for these nut jobs. As for the extreme right never holding office that's not 100% true... I wouldn't label Bush as extreme right but Cheney is pretty damn close to being extreme right.

Unemployment is expected to rise though not as sharply for the rest of the year and interests rates will have to rise to attract the money for Obama's vision. Obama may have gotten stuck with a weaken economy but it's what helped him win the presidency and people expect to deal with it and he has so it's his baby now. He's definitely the farther left than any president since Carter but with more power to control the economy and in a wartime situation. His economic policies are worse than even I imagined.

Cheney is hardly extreme right as a former congressman, secretary of defense and VP.

[spookyturtle 9,466]

I think Steven is right, it's sore losers syndrome. There are indications that the stimulus is helping in a few areas already, but the pessimists always have to see doom and gloom in everything.

Let's not forget John Ashcroft, Don Rumsfeld, Karl Rove, Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, Richard Perle ....

We are hardly out of the woods with the economy, but again there have been signs of recovery (e.g. I've seen my stocks rebound quite nicely). As for Cheney if he isn't far right I don't know who is. His previous positions are not proof either way of his ideological leanings, so I'm not sure why you listed them.

So you're nearly equating the guy who shot the abortion doctor to Cheney? Were they on a hunting trip together? Other than that I don't of any links by Cheney to extremists groups. If you're too lazy to look up Cheney's voting record or actions as Secretary of Defense/VP I'll help you out- there's nothing there or you'd have said given you claim to have the dirt on him of his "extremism".

Of course, what was I thinking

Yet the death toll from radical Islam is thousands of times higher.

Yet the death toll from radical Islam is thousands of times higher.

Not as high as the number of people we've killed trying to combat it.
