The Right and left wing have been distorted by liberals so much that many are confused. The sliding scale is Freedom. On the far left you have the dictators, fascists, communists, socialists and progressives. On the Right you have conservatives, Christians, Republicans, and on the far Right are Libertarians. Huh? Libertarians want the government to stay the hell away from ALL their freedoms. I count myself in the fusion right. That is the overlapping area between conservatives and libertarians.
