We've had this discussion, the right wing liked monarchs, but do not support them in a liberal democracy. the left wing started fascism with Mussolini (he was a socialist), and fascists, communists and socialists love big government, we do not. We want to make the government smaller and give states more power, but you guys don't.....so how are they even close to us?
Leftists won't admit the truth. To have socialism (and eventually communism), you need BIG GOVERNMENT. The extreme right means no government and complete anarchy. The extreme left means oligarchy and total government control. Our Republic is more to the right. Our founders knew exactly where to draw the line to ensure our rights and freedoms while keeping government in check. Government is merely a necessary evil designed to protect our inalienable rights. The left seems to believe that government can grant or take away those rights as they see fit. Wrong!!!!
The reality is that libs have already moved us more left. Our government is too big. The oppressive laws literally mean that everyone is likely to break at least one law without even knowing it. That is an old trick from past dictators to ensure that they are able to arrest anyone who opposes them. Our government is performing functions that are not constitutional. By giving new meaning to old wording, the left has convinced people that our forefathers intended for government to grow huge, take more money from the people for redistribution, create thousands of laws, tax everything possible, and disarm us. They believe government should hold the power instead of the people. The constitution is not a living document. It should be carved in stone and all politicians should abide by it or be forced to leave office, maybe even face charges.
