I think we play into the hands of the Left when we happily
accept the label Right Wing for us. Adding in words like
“extreme”, “radical”, or “far” only serves to allow the Left
to marginalize us further.

Our Founding Documents are Centrist for this nation. We
advocate for them, but when we do, we do so as Centrists
in this nation. A robust Right Wing does not exist in
this nation, because our beliefs are the core of the
Founding Documents, and we support them stridently from
the Center of the Spectrum (here).

I think a lot of folks will see this differently, but I
want to advocate from a position that legitimizes our
cause. Compared to our Founding Documents, we come from
the exact same place on the spectrum. Are we to the
right of those beliefs or advocated policies? No, so
aren’t we Centrists?

Take away our Right Wing label, and the Left has nothing
to claim us to be that can be considered radical in any
way. You can’t denigrate a Centrist if his ideals are
dead on with the Founding Documents.

We are not radical, or separated from the core doctrines
of our nation.

The Left side is. If we made these points and demanded to
be heard, the Left would be out there in the cold without
an argument.

From the outside our nation would be Leftist or Right
Wing, but from inside the core documents define the
center of the nation.

In China people who don’t believe in the Communist party
are Right Wing people. In China the Left is the
Centrist party. They have no advocate from the Left
there, because the Center is the Left. If someone
backs the government, they become Centrist.

From the outside, they are Communists or Leftists.

So again, there’s no definition of “right wing” except what the left wants to use. Therefore, “center” won’t work either.
