” If this is what the far right wing is going to put forward as evidence she is unfit to serve then they just look like jackasses.”

Slander!

Since when is conservatism “far right”? You apply the socialist political spectrum’s label to conservatives.

Tell me, in your view where is the US Constitution on your Left-Right paradigm? Hint: it’s not. At the far Left is pure Communism at the far right is Fascist dictatorship. They are both forms of Socialism. The ‘political spectrum’ leftists use is the spectrum of Socialism.

Stop applying leftist political language and definitions to conservatives. It’s slanderous and a lie.

Maybe I'm misreading your post and normally I would not comment but this "At the far Left is pure Communism at the far right is Fascist dictatorship" is so ridiculous its hard to believe anyone could think it's true.

The idea that fascism is a right wing ideology is a lie made up by leftists in order to put blame of mass murder and human rights atrocities on people of right wing or "limited government" ideology so leftist aren't always to blame. FASCISM IS AN EVIL FORM OF LEFT WING TOTALITARIANISM. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RIGHT WING LIMITED GOVERNMENT IDEOLOGIES. Fascism is on the same side and right next to communism and every other left wing ism. Good Grief how could any thinking person believe otherwise! This idea is nothing but the left lying about their lies!

How could you move further and further "right" and have less and less government until suddenly you have the murderous totalitarian rule of fascism? That's just crazy.

Lastly I believe the whole left right scale is inaccurate. it should be a vertical scale, zero government at the bottom to total government at the top. Our Constitution is about as close to the bottom as can be and still have a form of governance that protects individual liberty. Fascism would be very near the top close to total government.

Conservatives believe in limited government which by the original intent of the sliding left right scale would be far to the right. All the way to the right is zero government. Most conservatives believe in limited or minimal government.

Any form of totalitarianism is on the far left, be it Fascism, Communism or whatever. Fascism is the polar opposite of far right wing.

There is no such thing as being so far right that you morph into a leftist totalitarian.

You’re falling for the Skousen model.

Why bring International politics into the US measurements? Use the constitution as the initial point. If it is the foundation of all law, it should be the foundation of all political measurements. The Constitution is center.

This is one of the most factual and honest things I have read in many years. Thank you.
