Remember, American political life is laid out along different lines than were applicable to the French national assembly in the 1790s.
Actually I disagree. And, the typical honest American who owns a gun feels infringed upon by an over authoritarian government.
Heavy regulations were enforced upon the Colonists in the late 1700’s that forced them to make a decision to break from that type of government. Today, heavy regulations from an authoritarian government is forcing a segment of the population to make a stand politically from the leadership. Which would mean the real Right Wing leadership is the democrats. Quite a twist when you look at the facts
Royalists, Dictators, Communists, Fascists, Socialists and liberals (progressives) are all left wing. This is on of the fundamental myths the left pushes; that left wing competitors are actually right wing. The left sees chaos and tries to dictate order. The right sees complexity and embraces freedom. Libertarians are actually the farthest right. That is because the right embraces freedom and not anarchy. Conservatives are in the middle of the right wing. The Tea party is in the middle of the right wing. The so called moderates are defined by their willingness to give up some level of freedom for some perceived good. The problem with that is: the perceived good never occurs, often backfires and the freedom is gone. Conservatives have the wisdom to know this and defend their freedoms.
