Genghis Khan would be a good example of radical right.  I think the term radical has been a wee bit over-used by all sides of the political spectrum.  Seems now it's simply used all to often as a derogatory expression and associated with people and beliefs that are not necessarily radical (IMO).  What is radical is any party or person circumventing the limitations of federal government as defined by our constitution to push an agenda.

Why do idiots keep repeating this?

Do some people use the term "right" as synonymous with generically "evil" or something?

Re-read my post and try again.  What part of KenyanCare fits within the limits of the constitution?  You are, however, correct that Barry is radical...as would a Pub if they pulled the same shit.

You said the term was overused by both sides.....  Hussein and the Marxists are radicals....  Sorry if I misread....

Genghis Khan's writings on the failings of Keynesian Economics are well known....

Radical Republican, to me, is far reaching reality.  Don't get me wrong, I think it is ok.  What's wrong in wanting issues to be on the side of what the founders outlined?  To be that and more so is what is needed to get this country back on the right track.  Each generation has it's own set of problems and the democracy is that these issues are supposed to be decided on by the people.  Where'd that go?  How has it gotten so that a particular group, usually a liberal one, can garner enough support to set the rules for the rest of us?  Is it really so tough to live life realistically and without material crutches(handouts and give-a-ways)  ?  What's wrong with hard work?  We live in a society that rewards laziness and the recipients are brainwashed into thinking that they have a right to have what the more affluent or successful have and that just because they are citizens.  Woops!  It now includes those foreign born that want to take up residence without fulfilling the laws of citizenship that were set in motion from the start of this country.  But y'all just wanted an opinion and here it is I'm starting a book!  Y'all get where I'm coming from though and you've heard it all before.

Why do people have such a difficult time with the word Republic anyway??

Liberals believe the word should be preceded by "People's"......

We keep hearing "Conservatives" drone on that we need to tread softly on the electorate because although these "conservatives" believe in conservative policies they believe we need "stealth candidates" to get elected.  In other words they are are conservatives but prefer to run RINOS because anything else is radical 2010 not withstanding.

So, What is the definition of a a radical righty? Not strategy, not politics but core beliefs. What are the core beliefs of the radical right.

To answer your question.
Our Founders were the Radical Right of their day, there was no Right to the Right of them, so any variation in their ideals, their goals, would have to be leftist in nature.

Which brings us to today, as for the values they've instilled on the Nation, the laws they created, the values we once held dear, it was the left that has been the very source of this corruption.

It only takes a bit of commonsense to see that there is no such animal as radical Right, only radical leftism.

Yeah, we're really dangerous wanting to CONSERVE the things that are good about our way of life! We're really villains for opposing change for change's sake.

And there you have it, anything Right of Right, is a reactionary, a person unwilling to make change, so obviously and change that took place, could only have come from the left.

So libs, who are the real Radicals in the country?

Teach a man to fish, and he'll feed himself, give a man another mans fish, and he'll vote for you.

What amuses me about the true hard left is how easy it is to live among them as conservatives --- if you only shut up about politics when they cannot shut up about the Tea Party that isn't even an organized Tea Party and about Sarah Palin who's not running for anything.

They fixate on every false cause imaginable, this time around from global warming fanatics refusing to accept the science is far from settled. They hate Ann Coulter and balanced budgets --- and think we're all National Socialist Party style Nazis....

It's all too easy to laugh at our left.
