Perhaps the only way the term “right wing” would come into play is if there were a large movement to reunite the USA with the British Crown.
Regardless, the terms left and right wing have no real bearing on the political process of America
“So basically this guy is just crying that he’s not getting awards and speaking fees?”
Good grief! READ. NO! He got the award...was voted by the attendees. Norquist, Cardenas, teaparty.net TOLD him NOT to show up to accept it, if he had any criticism of Norquist!
I can’t believe how many people simply cannot, or WILL not follow this story! It’s not difficult!
Not surprising to me, it really does fit with what they were trying to conserve in regards to culture- European culture which is very centralized authoritarian (but also anti-Islam) but also more ‘out’ in regards to homosexualism. The entire concept of the out ‘Bon Vivant’, Dandy, etc, is just accepted there as part of the cultural identity.
Unlike what some say, we do not have a European culture here. Just the opposite. Even the ‘Bon Vivant’ isn’t looked at as an individual there but part of a certain class and is defined by that class identity. It is pretty minor in the big picture of the differences but it gets down to a class based authoritarian culture.
Since I’m not a conservative or a Republican I don’t have a dog in this fight. That sentence just seemed to stand out.
“Spencer is a hero. God bless him. One of the few with courage to speak uncomfortable truths to his fellow man. He is hated, mocked, slandered, threatened and abused and still he stands.I wish I had a sliver of this man’s courage.”
Yes he is. I’m glad SOME of you can actually follow this story! Also is Pam Geller, also banned by CPAC for speaking against Norquists radical Islamic ties. See the checks here, written to Norquist’s Islamic Institute by a convicted radical Islamist.

What are you then?
I was on to Norky back when Frank Gaffney started raising the alarm
Amen!
The irony covered in this article is spectacular. Looks as though many are missing it.
He’s Murrymon’s replacement.
Should be Murrymom’s replacement, the token liberal we keep around.

Formerly there were conservative Democrats, not so now.
Conservatives must be strong and stand up to scathing criticism heaped on them by the press if they are well known or TV personalities, sports stars, Movie stars, etc., our candidates are besmirched and torn apart for being normal clean living citizens. It is devastating to endure. Ala Sarah Palin. She faced it bravely and was not shut down. Her decision to not run must have been as a result of threats toward her family, or too low an approval to continue. Who can stand up to that? NONE OF US! MO!
Let us Thank the LORD for his daily blessings ...
God help America, in Jesus name amen.
Welllllllll ....... we're waiting?!
It appears that, in a nutshell, Robert Spencer is saying he is not a “conservative” according to how the Ministry of Truth applies the label.
In that case, I guess I’m not a “conservative” either.
I think the point of this article, apart from labels, is to wake up self-identified American "conservatives" to the fact that the spokesmen of the "conservative" movement don't share anything with us. In fact, they have it out for us.
I am way nicer and more fun to hang out with than Murrymom. :foldarms:
If many are missing it, then it’s too obscure or perhaps does not really exist. The dismissive phrase “conservative movement such as it is” denies the existence of real conservatives.
And nobody likes the phrase “new movement” due to the implications.
I would classify myself as a progressive who’s a member of the Democratic party until something better comes along.
I think my progressive buddies and I feel the same way about the Democratic party that you and your conservative buddies feel about the Republican party so I can commiserate with you.
Watch the left as they cunningly label the rest of us as "right-wing." B/c in liberal-land, "right-wing" is code for horrid things like "judgementalism," "moral certitude," and, "religious piety."
That means we also lack the left's "enlightened values" — reason, tolerance, diversity, equality.
Quoting the left's intellectual mentor, author, Saul Alinsky: "They do not have a fixed truth -- truth to them is relative and changing..... they are free from the shackles of dogma." (from Rules for Radicals).
