Its not just my definition of the Right.

The Right believes in:
Democracy;
Freedom;
Free Markets (including for drugs);
Equality for humans within a political system, with limited exceptions for felons and children (including for white-flight suburbanites);
Minimal Government; and
Not subsidizing our lazy, our stupid, the French (first Hyperbole in this post here) or other "allies" who do nothing but tell us how to use our troops and whether we can borrow their foreign legion of non_French troops;
and not sacrificing American lives for nought (which is a wide open statement that I will not define in this post).
Call them what you will, but Cheney and Bush are not part of the true Right. They are pretenders to the economic legacy of Reagan and Thatcher or the political and diplomatic legacy of no-one-who-comes-to-mind (in this regard, Buchanan's views of diplomacy are generally Right save his views of Israel).

I think you forgot "Sunsets and long walks on the beach."
In any event, I reiterate, enjoy the view. I hope Cheney doesn't eat any burritos over the next 4 years.
