Those of you who lean towards the Right Wing, please post here your criticisms of the Right.
Criticism of the Right from the Right

As a member of the very extreme right, one feels that many kamerads have a skewed vision of what policies, actions and focus are appropriate to the situation of the moment, rather than the situations of the past. This is not the 1920s and 1930s in Europe, and the means and strategy that was useful then is less useful now. This is not to say that it is unnecessary to have a wide range of talents and tactics, but that the key matter is applying them to the situation at hand. As it is written in Ecclesiastes, there is a time to reap and a time to sow, etc, etc.
The key is to be everything to everyone, in their own way and their own quadrant. In order to do so, discipline is required from the top and the bottom. This is happening to a pleasing extent, but needs to be increased.
Realistic, viable and soundly based planning is necessary, rather than vague ideological goals. Again, this is happening, but needs a bit more of a nudge.
Overall though, no major tactical, strategic or operational complaints or worries.

I'm economically right-wing, and I have some critics:
-The free market, while no doubt the best instrument to promote development, cannot solve all problems. SOME social programs are strictly needed.
-Some right-wingers(not all, and not the NeoLiberals) sometimes deny or minimise the crimes of the western powers in the past, like the european Imperialism in Africa.
-Mixing religion with politics(this shows the problem of the linear political spectrum: there are a lot of atheist right-wingers and right-wingers that want religion away from politics. The majority, in fact)

Isn't that the main problem of all political leanings in any time?

they try and bring religion into a job(politician) that that has little morals to it and will most likely get them sent hell.

If right-wing means "christian-conservative-right" I can sum it up with one sentance:
Absolutes exist, but only because God does.

A One Man's War
All too often the right wing seems to have hidden intentions in their actions.

If one considers that new labour are right wing then things are going from strength to strength in the U.K. My only criticism would be that with the Conservatives being right wing as well things are a bit crowded. One of them should make the jump to Fascism and enliven British politics - Fuhrer Blunkett has already shown the way.

I'm disappointed by the way right-wing parties in France (and from what I've seen, about everywhere in the Western World) stick to regressive views on social issues. I wish I was not obliged to choose at every election between right-wing parties (a bit more) committed to much-needed economic reforms and left-wing parties with the modern, freer social views.
As others have mentioned, my main problem with our conservative parties is that many cling to strongly to religion as a basis for their opinions.

Spoken like a truly skilled demagogue
this is because people who got to church has a right to vote too and elect someone to represent them . this is called democracy . Remove all the representatives who is back by church ( remember church are people and voters ,not buildings ) is called communism. both parties will vote according to those who elect them. most democrats also support abortion, gay rights, etc. according to beliefs of their voters too. democracy ( even with it's faults)so far last longer than any communists government so far

No it's not.....
Communism is an economic system it has nothing to do with religon.
Fair enough. But I would prefer they were capable of instituting many of their policies without also trying to tell the rest of us how to think.

I suppose you could, but a political party running on religious grounds in Canada at least, would be run out of the country, or at least minimalized and ridiculed. You never hear major Canadian politicians talking about God, because they lose credibility. The reason the Canadian Alliance failed so bad, was because they alienated the majority of Canadian society with social views that would seem "left-wing" to many in the American Republican Party.
People can run on whatever they want, but that doesn't mean they won't lose legitimacy.

Atheism may have a tendency to accomany communism, however banning religon from politics does not make one communist.

You sir, pineapple?
edit- I think that the worst part about the right wing is the social values they represent. (their economic policy is good IMO)
