The great conservative countries like Poland and the Philippines generally pass by unacknowledged. The miserable liberal countries like Revolutionary France and the USSR are generally called totalitarian, and thus reactionary, because that's how liberal logic works. The result is that liberals need never acknowledge those countries were liberal.

i suppose western europe is being used as an example of liberal countries. thats interesting. conservatism is what can build a country up. liberalism is what leads to its downfall (or a communist dictatorship that kills millions of its own people). western europe's days are numbered.

Conservatives, please list all of the great countries run by a conservative government? Saudi Arabia and El Salvador, are those the best?
You have no idea what "conservative" means to many of us. I can't think of any country in the world that would qualify as conservative by my definition. True conservatism means limited government. Saudi Arabia and El Salvador hardly qualify. By the way, El Salvador now has a socialist government.
Reactionaries are people with whom liberals do not want to be associated. They include the Stalinist hard-liners who resisted Mikhail Gorbachev. The "reaction" label comes from liberals -- people who buy the "progress vs. reaction" myth and who decide that they themselves represent "progress."
In terms of right of center, for purposes of relocation, there aren't any... Isreal about to be nuked, Aus has been trending in the same direction as the US, with some hick-ups granted. US will NEVER see the right of center in her "career" again. The populous is far too international (diverse) by this time. Ignorance abounds, belief in "climate change" as an example, The American Socialists have done a good job of renaming the right. The only hope is to start our own country...MT1
