Every day, the local rag has an editorial or letter mentioning the far-right extremist Tea Party.

A cancer is eating away at a once Grand Old Party, and if the party doesn't wake up and take precautions, it may wind up only a shadow of its better self

Yes...and if the author calls himself a Republican I call him a cancerous tumor!

words can lead to acts. Horrible acts. And shouldn't be lightly dismissed.

Basically, what Mr. Greenberg is saying is that anyone that believes in limited government, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and that there are very powerful people that want to undermine all that is a potential violent terrorist. Funny, that's what the DHS says too.

Didn't the Birchers warn the the Federal Government would come to view the Patriots, Christians, conservatives, libertarians, etc as terrorists.

I agree.

It’s the RINO’s that have taken “charity for all and malice toward none’ to the extreme and bankrupted the country with their govt. handouts and put the countries security and it’s peoples lives at risk by refusing to see the threat from this countries enemies.

Right in the middle of the citywide shutdown in Boston that followed the bombings at the finish line of its famed Marathon, a state representative and gun enthusiast named Nate Bell twittered a nasty little message about Bostonians "cowering in their homes" without firearms -- just when the rest of America was thinking of their calm courage and vigilance. (Which once again paid off.)

Feminized, castrated dhimmi!

I think I like the Birchers and “neo-Birchers” more than the GOPe and Paul Greenberg.
And least they stand for something.

I think I get it.

If a birch tree falls in the forest and lands on a leftists head -don’t gloat!

Paul there is jumping the shark a tad. Now, let me destroy him ~ if we look back to the 1930s in Germany we see the mind-numbed, knee-jerk, robot-like Weimar Republic clearing the way for the ubber lib fest to be held by the Nazis. There are many articles on the period showing the relationship between Leftwingtardism and Nazi ‘medicine’ ~ here’s one http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/national-health-care-medicine-in-germany-1918-1945#axzz2RxOTzRPz

This Report explains why senior FBI officials (including FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover) came to the conclusion in FBI memos that the Birch Society was “extremist”, “irrational”, “irresponsible”, “fanatics”, and “lunatic fringe.”

Apparently, we just learned today that the Democrats will sweep the November 2013 elections in VA again.

The RINO’s say we need more gun control, more illegal immigration, more gay marriage, more environmental protection, more tolerance of terrorists and more taxes.

How are they different from Democrats again?

Washington was a tool of the federalists of his time who imagined that government and the nation was best served if a small group of the best people ~ men of education and property (meaning 'slaves' for most of them) ~ selected the officers of state.

Jefferson put the sword to that idea by figuring out quickly that all he needed to do to build a nationwide very powerful and popular party was get more voters to the polls dedicated to voting for Democratic Republican candidates than the federalists could find.

About 3 elections and he'd erased that particular federalist notion from American politics forever!

The very system of single member districts and first past the post voting REQUIRES the existence of two major polls in politics ~ each dedicated to gaining 50%+1 vote to win!

They aren’t regardless of what their fanbois on FR keep screaming. Proof is in their actions.

RINO’s are different from dems the same way a moderate muslim is different than a regular muslim.

Both will take the time to sharpen the knife before they cut your throat.

Are you a Bircher?

The John Birch Society rejected me. I'm too right-wing for them.

I used to be..and may rejoin again. What is wrong with that?
BTW, the feds really got concerned about the society the last time crap like this happened. That was during the Carter administration. They even sent agents out to check on local chapters. The result was that we managed to get some of those agents to join.
There was another “Bircher” William F Buckley, who was funded by the founder to start his mag. How did the founder get repaid for this? Buckley promptly attacked him and the organization. Bit the hand that fed him.

RINO’s are always trying to figure a way to sell us out. Why would people vote for a RINO when a Democrat will give them free goodies like phones?

NOTE ON THE NETHERLANDS: Northern European electoral politics drive a multi-party system. Coalitions are formed AFTER the elections.

American electoral politics drive a bipolar party system. Coalitions are formed BEFORE the elections.

For all practical purposes the US and Nederland end up with the exact same sort of politicians ~ thinking the same thoughts, operating the same way.
