So along the lines of our other discussion, you have several points of intersection if your goal is to effect change. I'm making that assumption but feel free to correct me if it is wrong.

The simplest links in the chain begin with actions which must comport to the operational guidelines. Operations must be legal. Laws supporting operations which must map to policy. Policy must be in line with principle.

At the highest level you can disagree and criticise circumstance on principle, which you have done. You haven't been successful in getting left wingers or right wingers to change their perspective but you have found areas of agreement with both. I think that may be, at least in part, because your labeling convention is too loose, as I pointed out with your use of the term 'right'. You can also throw a monkey wrench where you see cartographic distortions somewhere between actions and principle, if you think that serves a purpose.

What is right? (Morally right or wrong)
What is right? (According to law)
What is right? (Social mores)
What is right? (just and good)
What is being right? (Who judges)
What is right? (on Principle)
What is right? (left or right politically)
What is right? (Human rights)
What is right? (Right treatment of an issue or treatment of others)
What is right? (The right perspective to have)

I think I could make a list in the hundreds if I had the time. The point is, if you want to make 'right' a topic you have to carefully define the parameters of the discussion or it blows out in every direction until meaningfulness is lost.
