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.
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
Yes. He didn't leave the Senate until 1986. He was succeeded by John McCain.Was Goldwater even Alive or still in Politics in the Early 70s ???
Democrats are a far-right conservative party? Not true , and you are a moron for believing that!Your avi is the symbol of a far right con-servative party.
You should see a mental health professional about these delusions of grandeur.You use a John Wilkes Booth photo, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, to represent your political identity. You know full well Booth was not in any way … “a real liberal”!
I confess USMB seems to me like a “Bizarro World” full of trolls and intentionally obnoxious, foolishly ignorant, or just very narrow, parochial and brainwashed, people.
Which tyrant did we shoot in the Revolutionary War?Shooting tyrants is extremely liberal. Ask our Founders lol
Every soldier in the US Army carries a tourniquet or more.I didn't fly anywhere, the point i tried to make to him did. He says he carries gun and a tourniquet and I told him that some DA could make a case in court if he ever shot someone, that because he carried a tourniquet, that he was planning on shooting someone. And Texans can't fly!
A Conservative:
People like Ron Paul, Justin Amash, Rand Paul (5 years ago), Thomas Massie... People who want to cut spending and taxes and stupid regulations (not all). People who believe in minding our own business around the world. We don't believe in lobbyist. Especially ones from the Military industrial complex or big pharma.
We don't mind a little welfare to help those who 1. Really need it. 2. Will use it to get back on their feet, and not sponge off it for the rest of their lives.
We actually want a smaller government.
We care about the Federal Reserve and want to do something about it before $15hr becomes a poverty wage. And before all our corporations move out of the country.
A Republican:
People like Donald J. Trump, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan. People who only talk about doing the things I listed above. But never actually do them. Or even try to do them. Republicans only care about all the spending when a democrat is in the white house. The Trump tax cuts were BS. But his worshippers praised them like they were going to be tax free. I've paid more every year since the tax cuts than what I was paying before, because of all the deductions they eliminated.
In short, actual conservatives are serious about the budget, spending and the government living within it's means. Republicans just give lip service to those things.
Liberals can do that in a heartbeat!Even the greatest Conservative can't turn an aircraft carrier around on a dime.
things take time and cooperation.

Only arrogant assholes use the term "agit prop". I'll wager 99% of posters on this board have no idea what it means. It is just a phrase that makes you think you look smart. You do realize it a term that originated in Soviet Russia, right? It's Communist!
I don't think I can agree with that as Trump got a lot accomplished when he was still president.
Total bullshit!
What’s over your head is that if you take a CCW / CHL / CWP class & do training your instructor will recommend that you at least carry one of these two items, ( or both ) a Spare Magazine a tourniquetOver your head too I see.
You still can't comprehend what I said. Forget it.What’s over your head is that if you take a CCW / CHL / CWP class & do training your instructor will recommend that you at least carry one of these two items, ( or both ) a Spare Magazine a tourniquet
Folks in the far-right media once called Ronald Regan a useful idiot for the communist. I have never taken them seriously since
