Our first mistake was that we have allowed the Democrats to define our movement. Most recently, that was Hillary. She tagged us all, in general, as the "vast right- wing." The problem is, that is not even close to being accurate for most of us. Yet, we let it ride without correction.

The far right want complete control by any means. They wish to control a citizen's right to self defense, education, association, speech, liberty, and even many aspects of people's working and living arrangements.

Nor are we radicals, simply because we ask for change in government. A radical is one who advocates fundamental or revolutionary changes in current practices, conditions, or institutions. Most radicals wish to overthrow the established social order.

That said, the term "conservative" somewhat fits -- or did once, anyway. But even the tag of conservative does not work well for two reasons: First, we most certainly do not wish to "conserve" the status quo -- the type of government we now have. And second, the term no longer works well for us because we have allowed those on the other side of the political spectrum to make conservatism synonymous with "right-wing."

The leadership in today's Democratic Party profess nearly the direct opposite of our American Constitutional form of government. Therefore, nothing they propose is compatible with the original American rule of law. Rather, they work to oppress our unalienable personal rights to life, liberty and property.

If we really are Constitutionalists, there is no need to worry about tags like "right," "left," "conservative" or "liberal." Being a Constitutionalist, our platform is all spelled out for us by the Constitution. What is not tasked to the federal government by the Constitution is not allowed. That's it! The Constitution limits government, not citizens. And, as set down in the Bill of Rights, all rights belong to the people.

It's amazing how the Newspeak definition of the "right" describes Hillary & Co.:

"A person on the far right would be one who advocates an oligarchical type rule, a type of reactionary government that assumes strict control of all political and economic policies in the country and restricts the power and liberty of the people.

I like to call myself an Americanist or Paleoconservative though I don't mind if people accuse me of being a conservative, libertarian or populist. One thing I don't want to be accused of is being a moderate or a centrist because middle of the roaders have yellow lines running down the middle of their backs.

When Mort Sahl used to discuss this, it was a lot funnier. He used diagrams and charts in his routine.
