And yet even when you talk to a lot of people who describe themselves as conservative about policy they are for the most part surprisingly liberal.
I am amused by the reactions to this thread... for the most part the posters have attacked the thread as opposed to answering it.
A cursatory scroll down the recent threads at any given time will bring up some pretty extreme right threads and there have been more than a few that do advocate revolution. So no this is not an attack or trolling thread.
I have said repeatedly I am opposed to extremists of all stripes, left and right. AND I have also said in regards to the original article that the writer was overreacting... still it is a pertinent question because among other things there are not left leaning individuals gunning down doctors or shooting up the Holocaust museum etc... such acts are consistently from the right.

Who all but holds a monopoly on talk radio... the majority of which is hard right?
I will give you a hint... it ain't liberals and Democrats.

The right wants to talk about a civil war and they are talking about it. But no sane Republican wants to pick up a gun and kill Democrats.

I will stress this now since I thought it was clear... the article and more specifically I am talking about extremists... not the average rank and file Republican and or conservative.

Why was dissent applauded and lauded as 'Freedom of Speech' during the Bush administration, but seen as treacherous and 'wanting of a civil war' by the same individuals during the Obama administration?
Does peoples' U.S. Constitutional rights to dissent & 'Freedom of Speech' change under the Democratic party?
