I think all of them are ideas the ultra-right wing holds but none of them are ideas exclusive to the ultra-right wing. What makes the ultra-right wing ultra-right is stuff like what those nutcases in Oregon were doing.

ETA: I'm not sure it's fair to call those guys in Oregon ultra-right wing but that might be because I'm currently reading a book about the psychology and motivations of terrorists (all over the world, not just in the US) and there are some right wingers in there that make those guys in Oregon look like Michael Moore. So I guess it's all relative.

What book is it?
I don't read novels, but I do enjoy to read if I'm going to learn something from it.

It's named "Terror In The Name Of God: Why Religious Militants Kill" by Jessica Stern. Now that I look at the title again I guess it focuses on religiously motivated terrorism. Most of it is crazy Muslims of fundamentlist Jews but some of it is Christian fundamentalists in the US that do things like kill abortion doctors.

I subscribe to Scribd on my Ipad, which is an all you can read book service for $8-9 per month, which is good but not as good as it sounds because they don't have most new books. I was just exploring to decide what to read next and I stumbled on the above book and it looked good, so I'm reading it. And it is pretty good. By the references though I think it's maybe 5-10 years old. That said, I doubt terrorist psychology is changing that quickly so I think the contents are still valid today.

Thanks.
I have the Kindle Fire, but honestly don't care for reading books on it. I do like getting magazines on it, but as far as books are concerned there is something about holding it and turning the pages that helps me concentrate and retain information.
