One of my uncles was “German-American” and would rant about being a true blue conservative, anti-communist, spit at the mention of liberal, DEMOCRAT.
However the things he believed in politically would qualify him as a Social Democrat in Europe.
The same as the confused “liberals” we have here, who are actually Euro-centric Social Democrat leftists.
If you adhere to the principles of the Founders you are neither “leftwing” or “rightwing”.
True indeed. “Left’’, ‘’Right’’ are really French imports to determine parliamentarian seating arrangements and a metaphor to label one faction as favoring ‘’collective government’’ and those who embrace individual liberty and personal responsibility.
