    Rep. Lindbergh wrote a great book: Banking and Currency and the Money Trust... A book which was burned and is very hard to find; details the underhanded influence of the monied interest in keeping the nation in debt, to them!

    A radical doesn't always speak the truth but the truth, unfortunately, is spoken by those who are considered radical.

    Dick's answer is accurate

    Right on Dick, prime example of that kind of radical is Obama, I'm guessing he would consider our founding fathers radicals?

    .... as long as the truth isn't false. We too-often believe our opinion of our interpretation of the facts is best defined as "truth." In other words, beware the ego in all this.

    Total honesty ? Has any one here, ever been called a Boy Scout or Girl Scout ! Seems the father of the lie, runs the world ? Once a child catches their parents lying, then it must be ok ? If leadership is based upon deceiving the public, once exposed, there will never be trust again, in any given individual or government. Half truth is the same as a lie ! It is a radical mindset now days to be honest. You might offend someone ! O my !

    'Radical' is what you call 'the other guy' for challenging your long held beliefs. Whenever the word 'radical' is used by the press, it indicates the slant of the speaker. Any freedom is considered 'radical' by those that wish to have that freedom curtailed. Those defending their gun rights are called 'radical' by the gun grabbers, and those defending their access to raw milk are 'radical' by the Dairy Industry, the folks smoking and drinking in their own homes without permission from the caliphate are considered 'radical' by Shiites. Politicians and the media use the word 'radical' to discredit the ideas being proffered without investigation. If we do not believe that "the science is settled" we are radicals.

    The quote is right on!!

    Tell the truth.
     -- E Archer, NYC

    Mr Archer, it's more along the lines of the truth telling me.  Children never really listen, but fortunately adults always listen to the truth.

    Additionally, Mr Archer, nature tells me, which you surely and wrongly reject, and I'm in full agreement with,  there is no supernaturalism, life is not game, and
    that resources should be distributed fairly and productively...etc..etc..

    With full considerations, Mr Archer, I believe, with your bi-polar conditions weighed you have a radical mental department in full agreement with nature's expectations, but accessing this facility is the mental health provider's great challenge. Radical.
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown

    Sillik, it is really silly that you claim to be Jesus' sole replacement with no supernaturalism associated to your being. Because there is no truth in you, your mentally ill babble does not rise to the level  radical.

    Classic projection.  Ad hominem redirection.  Not radical.  Conditioned responses of a lost soul to keep it lost.  Most likely a ward of the State.
     -- E Archer, NYC     
  •  
    Mr. Archer, Mr. Fredrick William Sillik is an original, moral, mentally and physically healthy, emotional secure, empathetic, law abiding citizen of the world.  When will that projector ever stop?
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown
