Sounds radical to me.

I've been calling Republicans conservatives. And ultra conservatives. And now I'm realizing maybe I've been wrong. The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman says we need a truly conservative Republican Party. Instead of a 'radical' Republican Party. Friedman is saying, in essence, that the Republicans' issues are way out of date. 'The party,' he writes, 'has let itself become the captive of conflicting ideological bases: anti-abortion advocates, anti-immigration activists, social conservatives worried about the sanctity of marriage, libertarians who want to shrink government, and anti-tax advocates who want to drown government in a bathtub.' Yes, sounds radical to me. --Jim Broede
