I Will Never Be A Far Right Conservative

[BackAgain]

None of those are on the right side of the European political spectrum. It's generally illustrated as a horseshoe, with the far left being communism and the far right being national socialism, which are more similar to each other than the center. Hence, the horseshoe model.

Constitutional conservatism was never "the right" on that political spectrum. People just started saying that because it was the opposing political theory to the left in this country. Whereas the left in this country is very much aligned with the left in the European political spectrum (it was directly influenced by European leftists). It's just something people started saying and it stuck.

But you're right about anarcho-capitalism being about the farthest in opposition to the left ideologically. It's just if we're speaking academically, it's not actually considered "the right."

The European “model” considers the right as including national socialism. It isn’t a creature of the right. So, that “model” starts with an erroneous premise.

Conservatives are not far right by definition.

I can. When I implemented the new behavior module last year, I became a lot more easier to be understood. Muh wife even understands when to cook breakfast and get beer magazines.

Depends on your starting point. Historically our country was founded upon a political theory that had never been done before. So it did not exist on any part of the European political spectrum. To categorize adherence to constitutional principles as "the right" is historically inaccurate. It doesn't fit anywhere on the existing political spectrum. People just started calling it "the right" in this country because it was the primary opposing political theory to the left.

In Europe, the so-called conservative parties are nothing like the "constitutional conservative" in this country. What is now called constitutional conservative was called "classical liberal" at the time of the founding. It all depends on the context and perspective.

The problem is labeling American conservatives as "the right" allows the left to misleadingly group them in with the European "right" which does include national socialism. Hence, why I say it is a misnomer. We don't use the European political model in our political system, so using the labels of that system to designate one party as "the right" just creates fodder for agit prop.

There is NO FAR RIGHT in Mainstream American Politics anymore ( But Far Left is fully in the Drivers Seat of Democrat Politics on the American Political Landscape )

Since I don't believe that being too far right is just as bad as being too far left even though I will always be a conservative. So if the reason you're following me is because you think that I am like that please take me off your follows list now. After all, too much of anything isn't good.

That was a very interesting analysis. Thanks.

I'm a Conservative Nationalist Republican Militia Sergeant /Ultra Conservative Shasta County Recall Voter & Ca. CCW holder who Practices Judaism and Supports Israel ( Yet I do not consider myself "Far Right" )

Glad we cleared that up.

 

[Jets]

Hmm,.. interesting. I just called it that since I didn't want to be called a liberal even though on rare occasions I actually agree with them.

No worries, I’ll never call you a liberal.

If you consider yourself “Conservative” but not “Far Right,” I think you should reconsider that “Swastika on Democratic Donkey” avatar you use to represent your political identity, FJB. That in itself is a highly partisan “far-right” Republican meme. It doesn’t qualify you as Conservative, but simply as fanatically anti-Democratic. To me, it also implies you are unwilling to respect or cooperate with even conservative or religious Democrats. There are in fact millions of these. Just as there are also millions of strongly “Constitutional” and “Civil Libertarian” and pro-“private property” (and “pro-corporate”) mainstream Democrats.

P.S. I am not a partisan Democrat, but I really don’t like to see ordinary Americans (including “young writers” and “Christians”) using disgusting fascist symbols in this way.

I'm not sure what "far right" is anymore. Goldwater was "far right" but he had no issue with gays or abortion. There's a pro Trumper challenging a fellow republican who gets rated "100%" conservative and an award from Koch. She didn't vote to overturn an election. The Fla legislature passes a law punishing Disney's free speech on a political issue. Tucker is sticking up for Putin invading a republic that used to be a Soviet stooge state.

At least Mississippi remains consistent. April is both Confederate Heritage and Holocaust Remembrance Month

Nope, if you feel that you have too much money.
And it's affecting your mental health.
