    Is an extremist like McCarthy what this country needs? I think not.

    What this country does not need are extremists on any of the sides because extremists are always out to get the other guy. Extreme conservatives are pretty much one and the same as extreme liberals - they both justify almost anything to get what they want in the name of their cause and all others who disagree are pretty much the enemy. What is their cause - extreme control.
    McCarthy was absolutely right. We are seeing it now. Communists play the long game very well.

    I've been thinking about this a lot since I read your post several days ago, and I have come to the conclusion that I disagree.

    I think that in general conservatives, mild-to-extreme, are generally inclined towards self restraint in legislation. To me, conservatism is limiting government, and extreme limiting of government is only bad, maybe, in a very few situations.

    I think what this country doesn't need are FAKE, or rino conservative legislators.

    Trump isn't a traditional conservative, but compared to conservatives in the last 20+ years he is kind of extreme, and while there are certainly things I disagree with him about, he has nonetheless attacked his goals and met with admirable success.

    I'd like to see more 'extreme' conservatives. The key being that to fit my definition of conservative they MUST renounce and fight incremental encroachment of liberty and regulation, and they must fight progressivism and socialist agendas/programs/legislation.

    I think you have good points here. Conservative politicians have been "nice" and compromised for decades. Now we are at the point where we can give no more ground.

    I think the modern demoncrat party has many members and supporters who truly believe in the mantra of 'by any means necessary.'

    Far more there than in the Republican party.

    They are governed, at the personal level, by emotion and hatred, and many of those who are government employees do everything they can to advance their agenda, regardless of their job responsibilities, oaths, and laws.
    The ends justify the means...NOTHING is off the table.

    Peelosi claims they can impeach and the constitution does not protect him...FACT is it does...Let me introduce you to the 6th Amendment...

    Conservative politics is completely different from what we colloquially consider conservative. Conservative politics is based on compromise. Their strategy is to lose in order to maintain a perception of power.
