The terms left wing and right wing sprang up as a way of defining competing branches of Socialism in Europe. They didn’t have much relevance for American politics until the Democratic Party became decidedly Socialist, imitating left wing Socialism in Europe. To this day there is no viable right wing equivalent in America, and it certainly isn’t going to come from conservatism, or the Republican Party. The left, politicians, educators and media throw the term right wing around because Democrats need it to smear any opposition to their radical leftism.
Do not paint me as a right-wing extremist. I’m a melting pot American of modest means (read: middle class).
Think: Mayberry. No, really.
I care about people and help when I’m called on, follow the rules, follow the commandments as best I can, and do my civic duties. I have raised my kids to be the same way. I have guns. I also have cameras... and fire extinguishers.
I despise repression, my dad flew against the imperial japaneese, my uncle went to a nazi prison camp, the repercussions of which killed him, my cousin got blown out of the tank he commanded in Nam, my brothers joined, one in ASA, one in electronics/avionics. I came up in a military and law enforcement family. I’m 100% American.
Extremist? Nope. Taxed enough already? Hell yes!
I’m an average American. These marxist extremist fools can kiss my ass.
