I thought that saying Richard Hofstadter's name 3 times might be a hint. Ah well. Yes, Bovard is awesome. In fact I mentioned Hofstadter because he's trashed quite awesomely in Attention Deficit Democracy. I was being sarcastic. I thought that saying Richard Hofstadter’s name 3 times might be a hint.

I have met him, and had long conversations with him. He is a bright articulate man who is championing the freedoms our government is busily destroying. The real "extremists" are those who do not trust us, and therefor are trying to rule us, and crush all resistance. The real extremists are the Democrats and Republicans who run Washington DC. They are extremists because they are trying to destroy a five hundred year tradition of civil liberties. That they are doing it in the name of protecting us is not an excuse. I would encourage you to read Bovard's book Attention Defeicit Democracy. It reveals a great deal of what I am talking about. There is a reason those in power have denounced his work: they are threatened by his exposes--Paul the Cab Driver James Bovard is not a racist, is not a fascist, and is hardly an extremist.

Richard Hofstadter will tell you how things really are. Badge of honor? Hardly! This man is just another anti-government extremist, which is synonymous with racist fascist!
