Looks like we might be taking over the Republican Party.

Whenever I hear the term "Right Wing" I always think of this diagram and I feel almost the entire GOP falls in the [Socialist-Fascist] category.

Never saw that particular graphic before, but it demonstrates the problem of a 1 dimensional political spectrum.

That’s because the radical solutions that the Paul worldview demands—an end to overseas military adventurism, ending government’s ability to manipulate paper currency, severe cuts in spending on all the myriad income-shifting promises Washington has made the past 80 years—don’t register as “practical solutions” to (for lack of a better word) the establishment. They seem like nihilism, though they are actually a belief in the American Constitution.

Any standard Republican or movement conservative really can’t take Paul seriously without massive cognitive dissonance. You mean, we really really have to obey the Constitution, we really can’t keep borrowing and inflating forever? Signs like the CPAC vote of a significant number of politically active youngsters believing in Ron Paul are indeed a sign of an apocalypse of sorts for the world that most politicians and pundits know.

If Ron Paul is right, then everything they know is wrong.

Also, the Political Compass is helpful.
