This reminds me of the 9/11 attacks when thousands of Palestinians were celebrating in the streets.  Those people weren't terrorists, but they came out to support Osama bin Laden.  Thats dangerous.  Know think of American conservatives, Republican President George Bush said that atheists shouldn't be citizens, if that isn't mainstream then I dont know what is.  Thats dangerous.

A vast majority of political acts of violence are done by conservatives.  Thats a fact.  Radical Islamic terrorists are conservative, the Christian militia that wanted to kill police officers for Jesus are conservative, the Tea Party and the Muslims website posting personal addresses so other could harm their enemies are conservative. 

As I stated above, there is only a small portion of conservatives who are willing to commit acts of violence, just as there is a small portion of Muslims who are willing to commit acts of violence (which I could reach by creating a statistic from the total population of conservative Muslims and the number of Islamic terrorists and coming out with a very low percentage of violence).  But that doesn't make their beliefs any less dangerous for society.

This thread started out talking about US conservatives, now you want move the goalposts and bring in radical islamists?  Whatever man, if that's what you need to do to feel secure in your belief.  Though, per your definition of conservative i.e. those seeking to maintain the status quo, todays Republicans/Libertarians don't even qualify since there are more than a few things about this administration/government that we want to change.  Unless of course you want to revise how you define conservatism, but now matter how you define it you'll find that you can't simply lump Republicans and Radical Islamists together ideologically.  To even attempt to do so is absurd.

As for my second highlighting, that's not what you said above, in fact it's exactly opposite what you said above.  I've taken the liberty of highlighting it in green in my quote stack so you can find it more easily.

edited for spelling.

Radical Islamists are conservatives.

You equated a statement I said about mainstream Conservative opinion, specifically that many conservatives vandalize non-Christian advertisements and George Bush saying atheists shouldn't be citizens, to conservatives commiting acts of violence, which is the use of physical force to harm others.  Notice that there is a huge difference here.
