Being called “Far Right” is like being called a witch in the middle ages

Excerpt:
"dictators like President Xi are rarely introduced as “the Far Left President Xi”. That would give the game away, wouldn’t it? There would be constant reminders of the dangers of going “too far left”."

    I remember when red was demoncrat and blue was true blue. Now blue has become the gutter of speakeasy vile humor and blue language, while red is now the color of hope. The fog machine has made a mistake.

    The only useful response to all this nonsense is naming the ridiculousness of the left-right arbitrary usage. Then offer an alternative scale of human rights respecting vs disrespecting.

    That leads to a conversation about the what and the why.

    I've often offered that the lefties are so far to the left they think they're in the middle. Since they all think they're in the middle--aka, mainstream--everyone else must be far right.

    Good article.

    It's time to fight fire with fire, gang.
    From now on, let's call them what they are.
    Every. Single. Time.

    Corrupt (insert name here)
    Communist (insert name here)
    Globalist (insert name here)
    And so forth.

    Can we please remember the idea behind "A is A"? It's not whether or or not A is B. It's whether or not A is "Not A".

    My horse is not "not a horse" at the same time and in the same respect. The same people who will say that "A is A" is either obvious or irrelevant will also tell you that the theft of your property is not theft, or that property is not property.

    What should one do with the appearance of a contradictory statement? It's right there in The Fountainhead. First three words.

    Pointing out that their view of the right is exactly what they are . . . no surprise, They project everything they are on everyone else.

    Of course, the left has been claiming that Trump is far right and is a tyrant who ignores the constitution, a projection of their own actions and plans.

    Not to mention the quick walk to Tribalism, pagan worship and sacrifice. Can't get much more regressive than that! . . . add in a cave and you'll be as far back as you can get standing upright . . .

    I'd rather think of it in terms of up or down, that is up into light, life, and liberty or down into darkness, death, and slavery.

    I don't think there is such a thing, maybe a couple of creatures but that's it.
    Far Right would be No control, No Government, No rules if the far left is for total control, Right?
    As you well know, we were meant to be slightly right of center meaning minimum control.

    The scum in D.C. have been doing this forever, taking 'liberal' which means
    in favor of individual liberty and using it as a tag for the most oppressive,
    invasive, anti-liberty gang of scumbags since the Soviet Union committed suicide.
    Only one thing makes any sense: D.C. NIFO

    In Canada, red is left, blue is right, opposite of here. I like to think of the two parties as the right living in reality, and the left in fantasy, ties in with Ayn Rand's objectivism, and realizing reality, A is A, not A can be B.

    It is well past time to call lefties "regressives". Name any agenda item that they are for, and I will show you that it is either anti-life, anti-liberty, anti-property, and/or anti-capitalist.

    Nice little tidbit. Thanks for posting, FFA.

    It's all part of the left's double standard and word fog game to confuse us. I have NEVER heard any main stream broadcast or printed "news" item refer to anyone as a "far left extremist". A commenter noted, "Would you rather be far right or far wrong?", LOL!

    Interesting point I heard on the radio yesterday and that is the USA is the only place where red has been changed to mean "on the right" and blue "on the left". Red(s) has historically meant communist(s). Fog.
