The far right is a danger to this country. The far left is also a danger, but I rarely see the far left these days.
There is no "far right" in this country.
Here....I can help lead out of your ignorance.
The terms far right and far left are relative to some understood center.
To be "far," one's positions must be radical relative to that center.
For example, traditional marriage, a man and a woman, versus homosexual marriage....which is the radical position?
Hence, far left.
Or....suing public schools if the students choose to engage in voluntary prayer: which is radical....Americans praying, or government punishing prayer.
Hence, far left.

See if you can come up with a radical position by conservatives, the right wing.
Uh.. there is very much a "far right" in this country. Support for same sex marriage continues to increase...
So....your response is 'is tooooooo!"?'
Brilliant.

It should be noted that I separate the social conservatives from the more moderate right wing. These social conservatives want to ban abortion in all cases, teach abstinence, many deny evolution and want to teach kids creationism.. These are nutjobs. You hardly see any of this from the left wing, because communism is dead.
"You hardly see any of this from the left wing, because communism is dead."
Well, then explain why the Democrat Party stands for the same things the Communist Party did.
These were listed as the aims of the communist party, (CPUSA) after the war, and, to an almost 100% extent, they the same as today's Liberals/Progressives/Democrats.
1. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
2. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.
3. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
4. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
5. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
6. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
7. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
8. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
9. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
10. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
11. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
12. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
13. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce
Now....wouldn't an honest appraisal agree that all or almost all are clearly the aims and direction of Democrats/Liberals/Progressive leaders?
I got 'em from a website of declared communist goals...
