What is the most right wing opinion you can hold without being “far right”?

[adamhovey1988]

I don’t know, in spite of being somewhat liberal on some things, I’m always going to be considered far right by people who don’t know the meaning of the phrase. The same people that call everyone who disagrees with them a fascist.

Abide by the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

Far-right politics actually has some degree of definition.

From 0-30 degrees is center’ right, 31 to 60 is moderate right, and 61 to 90 is far right, correct? And then at 91, one is going back towards center . . .

Was there other slavery in America before Columbus? Probably.

Probably???

Yes, some of the American Indians were warlike, and captured and enslaved their neighbors, or tortured them as a test of courage, took their territory by force of arms, etc. The Europeans didn’t bring anything new, so much as having better weapons and more skilled generals.

The Flower Wars were about taking captives for the purpose of human sacrifice . . .

Nor did the Europeans invent African slavery. Rather, they kind of took advantage of it . . .

(and, no, nothing in this excuses the European behavior!)
