They are laying the groundwork to attack mainstream conservatives. It’s their M.O.
We’re up against a billion dollar media, a government school system, and the government itself.
I actually like daunting odds. I’m a big fan of the underdog.
Obama used the word ‘Constitution’ - that’s code for right wing extremist. I’ll bet the Southern Poverty Law Center is up in arms... You’re right - they paint us with a broad brush - and they’ll do it as often as they can. The good thing is the American people are catching on...
i pray it's true
Think about West Point. Think about his area of expertise (terrorism); then think about OpSec. Then look at Arie’s facebook page and laugh...

What a great thread, Neverdem, thanks for the post. I am late to this...
Muawiyah and Windflier, I enjoyed your comments (mainly directed at each other).
I think you agree with each other more than you think. Both of you will probably disagree with me because you appreciate subtleties that I probably miss, but maybe not — I advocate you both re-read it all because you seem to be to be substantially on the same team.
Either way, you are both so smart, and write so well. I will be a better thinker and writer and speaker as a result of reading your posts in FR! I think other will be too.
Thanks!
"Royalists, Dictators, Communists, Fascists, Socialists and liberals (progressives) are all left wing. This is on of the fundamental myths the left pushes; that left wing competitors are actually right wing. The left sees chaos and tries to dictate order. The right sees complexity and embraces freedom. Libertarians are actually the farthest right. That is because the right embraces freedom and not anarchy. Conservatives are in the middle of the right wing. The Tea party is in the middle of the right wing. The so called moderates are defined by their willingness to give up some level of freedom for some perceived good. The problem with that is: the perceived good never occurs, often backfires and the freedom is gone. Conservatives have the wisdom to know this and defend their freedoms."
Thanks!
Thanks for the compliment. you must have noticed that most of my targets write well.
Charles A. Beard:
"You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence."
Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think I disagreed with Muawiyah on the thread. The first words in my comment to him were, "That comment pings my inner patriot."
Perhaps we're both so verbose that it sometimes seems that we're debating when we're not :-) I've enjoyed his intelligent commentary and depth of knowledge here, for many years.
Pleased to meet you.
