Oh, thank you, thank you! The motherlode! Where do I begin? I ain't got all day so will take the juiciest items:
"Electing new conservative politicians who will reduce spending and deregulate to reduce pressure on the middle class and jump start the economy is considered a far right wing idea?"
Not if the new politicians are truly conservative. Policies which drove your nation into deep depression weren't conservative. Agreed, it's debatable whether or not current policies applied in an attempt to drag your nation out of deep depression are the right ones but they ain't the ones that got you in the hole to start with.
"Dictators around the world will love the USA if our president talks to them nice?"
It worked for Pinochet, Batista, Marcos, to name just three of many nasty and brutish characters the US decided to be pals with. You can't ask that question if you're going to be choosy about which dictators you're going to overthrow and (try to) replace with a democracy.
"Having Iran and North Korea as nuclear powers will make the world a safer place?"
Who said it would? Why invade Iraq when these two other dictatorships posed and still pose a far greater threat? See above.
"The tea party movement is not main stream just a few radical right wing neocons spouting off because they are sore losers?"
You aced it!
