right wing

Actually slang. Derived from how the conservatives in france, during the French revolutin, sat on the right side of their governing house (whatever that was). In America, (and this is widely misunderstood by college students) Right Wing refers to conservatives who, by their nature, favor a small limited government with little power and little control over the people, with most of the power residing within the local state governments. Basically anti-federalist. In other words, the politicians who DON'T want more government involved with your everyday life. They don't want the government to get too big have a lot of control over the people.

Eisenhower, cosidering his spending and civil rights work, was clearly right wing.

Right Wing

Right wings are the equivalent to the Dark Side in Star Wars. Secretive, brash, heartless, bent on pointless tradition. The right wing, or conservative (anti-progressive) party, is a collection of wealthy politicians seated through social promotion, private lobbying, and secretive associations. Right wingers favor small and weak governments that can be easily controlled by wealthy capitalists, and in doing so protect their own interests and those of their political allies. A right winger is quick to judge, slow to concede, and impossible to converse with. (See Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Ronald Reagan, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, & Fox News) There may be some exceptions to the generalization.

right wing

During the French Revolution, the nobility sat in the right wing (in contrast to the common people who sat in the left wing). To this day, the right wing continues to represent the rich and the powerful.

The right wing supports the status quo by oppressing the lower classes.

Right wing

another word for conservatives, who seem overzealous, but really are no more extreme than the the left extremists, people in the right wing are simply the minority, so they're over scrutinized by the media.

The right wing is the right thinggg.
