Did she actually say this country doesn’t have a left?

She did, and in a sense I agree. The whole "left" and "right" discussion is a distraction that has almost no connection to reality. The real contrast is freedom v. tyranny.

- Today's democrats want to compel people to use low flow shower heads.

- They want to compel people to use the light bulb that our ruling class chooses.

- They want to compel people to pay for abortions for their employees.

- They want to compel people to cater/photograph/host gay "weddings".

- They want to compel people to pretend that anyone who feels male on a particular day is male and that anyone who claims to be more female at the moment is welcome in the little girls' restroom and the cheerleaders' locker room.

- They want to compel people to reject tobacco but to accept marijuana.

- They want to compel people to buy insurance that they neither need nor want.

- They want to compel people to give up the wealth they generate so that it can be redistributed as ordered by our ruling class.

- They want to compel people to disarm so that the people have no opportunity to resist as the commands get even worse (if that is even possible).

What conservatives want is far different. Conservatives do not want power over others. All we want is to be left alone: free to speak as we choose, to write as we choose, to worship and exercise our religion as we choose 24 hours a day and not just for an hour each Sunday morning, to keep and bear arms in exercising our God-given natural right to protect ourselves and our families, and to keep our own property without fear of theft by criminals or by government thugs.

When do we try to control others?

- We try to control criminals, supporting the idea of locking them up to protect the innocent.

- We try to reduce abortions, protecting innocent, unborn lives from the abortion industry, predatory medical researchers, and panicked women who are pressured to decide before they realize the "problem" they want removed is actually a child.

- We try to stop all thieves, whether it is illegals stealing in the secure knowledge that they will be deported instead of jailed, liberals stealing under the delusion that passing a law to allow theft makes it okay, or protected groups of thugs stealing because they have been told their "rage" justifies theft.

- We try to stop other violent crime, encouraging women to be armed to permanently stop rapists and everyone to be armed to prevent other crimes.

Democrats have always been the party of slavery, and they have not changed. The only difference is that today they want to enslave everyone and not just blacks. They want absolute power and control over every moment of our lives. Conservatives want absolute freedom, with government doing only what is necessary to protect that individual freedom. Sadly, the GOP as an organized party is trying to split the difference.
