With no middle, there's no right. Actually, on a world scale there's no right, but there is a LEFT, and that international movement has members inside the United States.
The LEFT infiltrated and took over the Democrat party. But we are still patriotic normal American people in the Republican coalition.
It's best to portray LEFTIST values and ideas as alien to our nation and it's beliefs. Republicans and Conservatives should never miss the chance to note that the LEFT is not only alien, but totalitarian in its ambitions ~ no different than any other totalitarian movement in the last 350 years.
When it comes to members of the public owning firearms, the United States and Yemen, stand alone of course, but that doesn't mean we need to restrict that ownership just because the totalitarians and their running dog lackeys like things that way.
Note, on using the term 'right' the proposed layout or the French national assembly back in 1791 thought of the 'right' as consiting of 'royalists' ~ and as you all remember, we deposed the 'royalists' in 1776 and never looked back! The only people you'll ever find hankering after royalty in America are, of course, Democrat party cheerleaders.
Which articulate conservative was savaged by the GOP “establishment” this last election?
Exactly!!
The media talks about a civil war within the Republican Party. Not true. The base is united in wanting lower taxes, less regulation, repeal ObamaCare, etc., etc., etc. Their elected leaders disagree. They want to increase their own power and "manage" big government, no reduce it. They have to say things (through gritted teeth) that appeal to the base in order to get elected, but their hate it.
They are ineffective, because they want to be ineffective. Failing increases their own personal power and future earnings.
Motto of the elected GOP: Screw the base, screw the Tea Party, screw the country. I need to get mine.
