First understand how invasive the “Language of the Left” is. The Liberals want us to use their words when talking about important issues. We must be careful. We have to communicate with Liberals, but we must make sure the terms are clear. Liberals use words with agenda. We Conservatives are Innocents and often go along with Liberals to appease them. This is a mistake. Words and concepts are important.
For example, you must understand the political spectrum goes hard left and hard right and has a moderate middle. Liberals want to place Conservatives on the far right. Conservatives are moderate and should be placed, by definition, at the middle of the political spectrum. That’s because the Constitution was written to protect the rights of all citizens.
The spectrum is used to represent political philosophies. In the “center” are moderates like the Founding Fathers who envisioned the U. S. Constitution. To the far left and far right are found various tyrants and dictators. Identifying and placing tyrants and dictators on the political scale takes careful consideration. I will discuss the various flavors of bad guys in another chapter.
Put a Republican or Democrat on the political scale. I believe three Republican presidents can be classified as true Conservatives. I think of Ronald Reagan as pretty much anchored to the middle, as a Conservative. He believed in going by the U. S. Constitution. I believe Abraham Lincoln was a true Conservative.
It looks like Donald Trump will adhere to the tenets of the Constitution during his two terms in office (as yet to be seen.)
All Democrats in power have demonstrated poor understanding of the U. S. Constitution or a disrespectful disregard for it. I would rank all Democrat leaders left of center on the political spectrum, some by a long way. (What country do they think their in?)
I would even rank most Republicans slightly left of center. Most Republicans are not true Conservatives. Far too many Republicans try to appease the left or exhibit some other form of disloyalty to the concepts the Founding Fathers held dear.
A centered Republican would not lean to the left even a little, because to do so diminishes the power of each American citizen. No self-respecting Conservative would stray from the center — from the buoys of small government, the Bill Rights, and separation of powers.
Therefore, only a small percentage of the members of the Republican Party are true Conservatives.
Please notice I have spoken of Democrats and Republicans in power. The average citizen is, for the most part, unaware of what is going in the upper echelons of government. Ordinary people are trusting and not involved in how the government works. I believe democrats would not vote for a democrat if they really knew what was going on. We would all be conservatives!
To summarize, all Democrats in power are Liberals and must be placed to the left on the political spectrum. (I can’t think of any Democrat who is not left of center, since Joe Lieberman.) Most Republicans are left of center, but still right of the Democrats. Conservatives are the true moderates, by definition, adhering to the U. S. Constitution, which promises Liberty and protects our rights.
