West Point studies Far-Right
« on: January 17, 2013, 08:16:49 PM »
"The center — part of the institution where men and women are molded into Army officers — posted the report Tuesday. It lumps limited government activists with three movements it identifies as “a racist/white supremacy movement, an anti-federalist movement and a fundamentalist movement."
The West Point center typically focuses reports on al Qaeda and other Islamic extremists attempting to gain power in Asia, the Middle East and Africa through violence."

"...the report also draws a link between the mainstream conservative movement and the violent “far right,” and describes liberals as “future oriented” and conservatives as living in the past."

"...far-right groups’ ideology is designed to exclude minorities and foreigners, the liberal-democratic system is designed to emphasize civil rights, minority rights and the balance of power."

Why would it compare "far" right groups to the mainstream liberal-democratic system?  wouldn't a better comparison be to "far" left groups?

What a surprise. A think tank led by a government paid college social sciences professor posts an anti-conservative study without details.  :party:

I don't usually post here (in birther pit), because most people who spend their days worrying and arguing about politics are complete morons, BUT... this study is so stupid it hurts. People are people. There are far right racists and far left racists and there are people from both the right and the left worth knowing and befriending and chatting and well, you get the picture. This is stupid.

I would be willing to bet there are far far less far left racists.

That does not mean that these individuals aren't incredible dicks/dbags.

Would take that bet depending on who the judges are in the "racist" contest.

That is a dangerous opinion piece that paints more than half the country as white supremacists nazis. Horrendous.

Really? I've lost count the number of times I've heard the average everyday conservatives say that if President ObAMa takes their guns the SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.
