I don’t agree.

Left = collectivist, ie, government imposed goals
Right = individualist, self determined goals

The left uses the government, the right uses persuasion, perhaps inartful persuasion, but not with the threat of violence from the government.

I agree with you 100%. The people in the middle, the rino's have torn this once great party to shreds.

If you don’t think there is such a thing as a right-wing extremist who loves big government every bit as much as the left-wing extremists do, you have a lot to learn.

C.S. Lewis:

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under live robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good, will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
