Internal may be interesting but they are a fail at communication.
I will help. It is best we define the terms if we want to have a discussion.
The political use of the two terms dates back to
1789 and the French Revolution. In the National Assembly in Paris, the
partisans of the Revolution sat on the left side and their opponents sat on the
right. This is how we got our original “left-wing” and “right-wing.” The term
“right-wing” in this context refers to defenders of the Ancien Régime who
wanted France to return to the governing alliance of throne and altar that had
preceded the revolution. “Conservative” became a description of the old
guard who wanted to conserve the monarchy and the prerogatives of the
established church against revolutionary overthrow.
So right away we have a problem: if this is what “right-wing” and
“conservative” mean, then there are no right-wingers or conservatives in
America. America has never had either a monarchy or an established church.
Modern American conservatives have no intention to introduce either. In
what sense, then, are modern conservatives right-wing? What is it that
American conservatives want to conserve?
The answer is pretty simple. They want to conserve the principles of the
American Revolution. So while the French Right opposed the French
Revolution, the American Right champions the American Revolution. If it
seems paradoxical to use the terms “conserve” and “Revolution” in the same
sentence, this paradox nevertheless defines the modern-day conservative. The
American Revolution was characterized by three basic freedoms: economic
freedom or capitalism, political freedom or constitutional democracy, and
freedom of speech and religion. These are the freedoms that, in their original
form, American conservatives seek to conserve.
As the founders understood it, the main threat to freedom comes from the
federal government. Our rights, consequently, are protections against
excessive government intrusion and intervention. That’s why the Bill of
Rights typically begins, “Congress shall make no law.” By placing fetters or
restraints on the federal government, we secure our basic rights and liberties.
The objective of these rights and liberties is for Americans to devote their
lives to the “pursuit of happiness.” Happiness is the goal and rights and
liberties are the means to that goal. Right-wingers in America are the ones
who seek to protect the rights of Americans to pursue happiness by limiting
the power of the central state.
“An elective despotism,” Jefferson said, “is not what we fought for.”2"
"Jefferson’s Democratic-Republican Party preceded our current two-party
system, but his sentiment is one that American right-wingers and
conservatives would heartily endorse. Even elected governments do not have
unlimited power. They must operate within a specified domain; when they go
beyond that domain, they become a threat to our freedom and, in this respect,
tyrannical. We are under no more obligation to obey an elected tyranny than
the founders themselves were obliged to obey the tyrannical authority of the
British Crown.
By limiting state power, conservatives seek among other things to protect
the right of people to keep the fruits of their own labor. Abraham Lincoln,
America’s first Republican president, placed himself squarely in the founding
tradition when he said, “I always thought the man who made the corn should
eat the corn.” Lincoln, like the founders, was not concerned that private
property or private earnings might cause economic inequality. Rather, he
believed, as three of the founders themselves wrote in Federalist Paper No.
10, that “the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring
property” is the “first object of government.”3
American conservatives also seek to conserve the transcendent moral
order that is not specified in the Constitution but clearly underlies the
American founding. Consider, as a single example, the proposition from the
Declaration of Independence that we are all “created equal” and endowed
with “inalienable rights” including the “right to life.” This means for
conservatives that human life is sacred, it has a dignity that results from
divine creation, it is so precious that the right to life cannot be sold even with
the consent of the buyer and seller, and finally that no government can violate
the right to life without trespassing on America’s most basic moral and
political values" -
