   Michael Merritt Buckeye: That says little about where on the political spectrum this guy actually is. For example, some of the most prominent 9/11 truthers I've seen, and almost all of those who've come to this site, have been far-right. Otherwise, they are very conservative in their views. Some tend libertarian, and a lot of that crowd is anti-Iraq War, though mostly on economic and next-to isolationist reasons rather than because they're hippies. A lot of these people could be called traditionalists and are staunch 2nd amendment defenders. However, Jason has made a good point in a previous post that, if you look at the left-right, usually defined as flat political spectrum, that some of these folks tend so far right that the spectrum begins to become circular, and eventually connects to the far-left. So while other policies may end up differing, both far-right people and far-left people that reach the area around that connection begin sounding the same in their conspiracy theories and bigotry.
