Isaac implied a distinction between right wing and conservative. You responded by telling him it's only a matter of semantics. I illustrated that that is simply not the case. That conservative and right wing are not synonyms.

Don't tell that to right wingers- they are all conservative small govt folk.

What is not synonymous is republican and right wing or conservative in many many cases. Many in the GOP are just as progressive as some Dems are- they just approach big govt. differently than their dem. counterparts.

Depends on how far right you want to go. The more right you go the more towards anarchy you get. Teh right wing (conservatives) are for a republic constitutional govt. That was established- that means states are larger and the fed is restrained to only those powere enumerated to tehm in the constitution. This is the current right wing movement that is not the far end ( the extreme militia groups who espouse anarchy)

All big govt solutions are progressive or left wing. Socialism, Fascism, National Socialism, Communism, etc. are all massive govt. control and rule.

Jerry writes: "instead" dishonesly asserts that I had claimed some right-wing conspiracy to crash into an IRS building.

I have done no such thing.

Jerry, I hate to break the news to you, but there are others on theis thread and I was directing that to Isaac. Please try to remember that I am not just talking to you.

That has nothing to do with the topic. Is it that you are unable to post on topic, or just unwilling?

Once again this has everything to do with what someone else said-- not you. If you want to jump in on a convewrsation you are more than welcome- but make sure you read through to get the background.

Huh? Are you being ironic?

Most strains of anarchism are far left. Some are far right.

Wha? Nazism and Fascism are right wing. Where on earth do you get the idea that right wing means small government?

I never heard of left wing anarchists.

Right wing is morew conservative and inline with th econstitution of limited federal government.

Right wing economics is free market capitalism with only enough regulation to keep things honest.

Left wing is large to total govt. control.

Fascism- is state controlled production.

National Socialsim is state control- nowhere is that right wing. It is Socialism

Socialism is govt. control
Communism is govt. control This is all left wing. The left starts as liberal, progresses to progressive and then the extreme wing is some totalitarian form of govt.

remember in the 30's bothe teh American Nazi party and the American communist movemetn backed FDR's economic policies and massive govt intrusion.

Seriously, guys? A thread about a moron and his airplane manages to morph into useless left vs. right drivel?

Why does every thread end up like this?

In fact I agree - we are so far off-topic I'm going to close the thread.
