Disagreed, but feel free to dream on, girl.1. There is no Far Right in this country....only a Far Left....
What???
You require yet another spanking???
No prob:
The terms far right and far left are relative to some understood center.
To be "far," one's positions must be radical relative to that center.
American traditions, values, and history represent that center.
Another of those positions under regular discussion is 'prayer.'
"WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Monday narrowly upheld the centuries-old tradition of offering prayers to open government meetings, even if the prayers are overwhelmingly Christian and citizens are encouraged to participate.
The 5-4 ruling, supported by the court's conservative justices and opposed by its liberals, was based in large part on the history of legislative prayer dating back to the Framers of the Constitution." Supreme Court upholds prayer at government meetings
See this? "... legislative prayer dating back to the Framers of the Constitution."
Clearly this is at the center of American tradition.
But... "Lawless Judges Have Created an America Where Praying Gets a Man Suspended from His Job
Yesterday, Joe Kennedy, an assistant high-school–football coach in Bremerton, Wash., was suspended. His offense? Kneeling for a short on-field prayer after football games. According to multiple news reports, for the last several years Kennedy has waited until each game ends and the players leave the field before walking to the 50-yard line and offering a quiet prayer for his students. He never asks anyone to join him, nor does he stop anyone who wants to do so."
Lawless Judges Have Created an America Where Praying Gets a Man Suspended from His Job
So....as far as the concept of prayer in the public arena, where do we find the radical position?
Hence, far left.
If you have used the fallacy "Far Right," see if you can come up with any radical positions by conservatives, the right wing.
If you need more examples...just say the word.
