  Right-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In politics, right-wing, the political right or simply the right, are terms that refer to the segment of the political spectrum often associated with any of several strains of conservatism, the religious right, or simply the opposite of left-wing politics.
Some consider the political Right to include those forms of liberalism that emphasize the free market more than egalitarianism in wealth, but many free-market advocates, including most libertarians, share certain political ideologies with the left-wing and conceive of a two-dimensional political spectrum that they say more accurately portrays their political position.
A more obscure strand of right wing thought, often associated with the original right wing from the times of monarchy, supports the preservation of wealth and power in the hands that have traditionally held them, social stability, and national solidarity and ambition.

 Right opinion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Right Opinion is Plato's definition of virtue, and an interesting angle on the definition of knowledge.
As Plato points out, the difficulty with an unfounded opinion is that there is no reason for one to preserve, or indeed to acquire it in the first place.
Plato reasoned that the only way for one to possess right opinion is for it to be given to one by the gods.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Opinion | The right to choose
The right of return is based on international laws and norms and the right to choose is based on respect for human rights and the dignity of mankind.
Those who deny the right to choose essentially serve the interests of those who deny the right of return by strengthening their argument against the recognition of the right of return, an argument that falsely claims that such recognition would pose an existential threat to the state of Israel.
Individuals on both sides of the argument, deniers of the right of return and deniers of the right to choose, have found faults with the refugee poll that have been conducted in the West Bank-Gaza, Lebanon, and Jordan among 4500 refugee families during the first half of 2003.

 WHETHER THE SECOND AMENDMENT SECURES AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
A 1780 opinion of London's Recorder (the city's legal adviser and the primary judge in its criminal court) on the legality of a private self-defense association acknowledged "the rights of the people of this realm to bear arms, and to instruct themselves in the use of them, collectively," albeit within limits.
That the people have a right to bear arms for the defence of themselves and the state; and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; And that the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
Regardless of the relevance of this provision to the contours of the right to bear arms (a question beyond the scope of this memorandum), the provision does seem to have been viewed as a practical security for, and thus a way of emphasizing the importance of, the right of individuals that Pennsylvania had elsewhere secured.

 The Right to Opinion
This is the battlefield for the Right to Opinion.
The Right to Opinion that I speak of is the right to believe all that you wish, without being discriminated against.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Opinion | Sharon's right hand
The Palestinian Human Rights Centre in Gaza has recorded the demolition of 803 entire houses (the figure does not include partially damaged structures) between April 2003 and April 2004.
Those who are trying to persuade the Arabs to give up the right of return are wrong to assume that by doing so the Arabs may have a chance of achieving other goals: Israel's return to the 4 June 1967 borders, the removal of settlements and a Palestinian capital in East Jerusalem.
This is the same left that averted a confrontation with the extreme right following the murder of a Labour prime minister at the hands of a rightwing extremist.

 Opinion: A right to an attorney, unless . . .
From watching television cop shows, most people know that if you're arrested, you have a right to an attorney and an attorney will be appointed if you cannot afford one.
The high court said that because Shelton would go to jail if he violated the conditions of his suspended sentence or probation, his Sixth Amendment rights were violated when he was not given benefit of counsel at trial.
In an adversarial system, each side is to be given the opportunity to present evidence and argue its version of events to the court.

 Sky or Homebrew... opinion poll. - Right Step Forums
Also talking with multiple people at once is very tricky to get right (at the moment, if two people ask you for a list of quests at the same time MyQuests is likely to explode).
Right now I send a bunch of data in that ping so the target will only send back the number of quests that can actually be accepted by the player (all the race/guild/class/etc filters are run through, along with quest history).
I'm going to move forward using Sky at the moment, but will be doing so in a way that will make it easier to rip it out in the future if we decide to do so.

 The Struggle for the Right to Opinion
It is this freedom, this right to opinion, that so many have claimed for everyone, yet have found specific cases where they do not believe in liberty.
It has been the habit of many a past writer to so vaguely yet powerful stand by every person's right to opinion, but then when the evil beast of Partisan Politics caught their attention, or when something so foul came about that they denied anyone the right to research it.
And it is the opinion of this Congress that they ought to be disarmed and the more dangerous among them either kept in safe custody or bound with sufficient sureties for their good behavior.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: HRL’s Right to Poster
HRL has a right to free expression so long as it abides by College protocols with respect to appropriate venues for postering.
Those who claim an equivalent right of expression in tearing down the posters have a horribly impoverished notion of this right.
Hopefully, we will not see a day on this campus when the right of free speech deteriorates into some form of might is right competition.

Inheritance rights at that time were dealt with in the way you have quoted because men worked and women raised families.
The Koran's structure is such that other than the first chapter (the prayer) and the last third (which is comprised of short chapters that get right to the point of what God wants to teach us), most of it deals with historical corrections of previous books and what was taught in religion.

 Scotsman.com News - Opinion - The right to buy homes can't be left off agenda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
When the right to buy was introduced in the early 80s, it gave thousands of ordinary people who had been paying rent for their council house for decades the chance to own their own home at a massive discount.
Tenants with the right to buy their current home are not about to be stripped of their entitlement.
Scottish Socialist Tommy Sheridan argues the right to buy should be ditched and tenants rewarded instead with a "right-to-rent" discount, which could allow people to live rent-free after 25 years, but with the house returning to the public pool rather than vanishing into the private sector.

The effect is to make him look isolated and ineffective and to give the impression that everyone in Britain is against the war when the reality is that the great majority are in a state of perplexity rather than outright opposition.
Much better for the Prime Minister to embed himself and his senior ministers in the institution which gives him his right to govern, taking the House into his confidence, reasoning with it and addressing the nation through its Chamber.
Its exasperation at "the Europeans" is understandable, and its right to act on its own should not be doubted, but the "war against terrorism" will go on for years.

Blunder on the right - Opinion from Israel, Ynetnews
Accordingly, while this would be a move devoid of any substantial political risk, it could be capable of dispelling old stigmas, and of changing stereotypical misconceptions which have dogged the national camp for decades – and breathe new life and fresh relevance into the right-wing's wilting and withering public image.
For it is difficult to escape the uneasy feeling that when left-wing elements push for enlistment of the ultra-orthodox, there is an element of malicious harassment and more than a little hypocrisy in their demand.

 Opinion: To right a wrong
The U.S. Supreme Court should right the wrong decision it made in 1986 when it upheld a state antisodomy law and keep the government out of the bedrooms of consenting adults.
The 1986 ruling upheld the conviction of a gay couple under a Georgia antisodomy law, and rejected the idea that the government should not dictate what occurs between consenting adults in the privacy of their bedroom.
The disturbing ruling should be relegated to the dustbin of Supreme Court mistakes alongside the 1857 decision in Dred Scott vs. Sanford, the court's defense of slavery, and Plessy vs. Ferguson, the 1896 decision approving the racist doctrine of separate but equal.

As has been pointed out several times throughout this controversy, Muslims have no right to expect other cultures to live up to their notions of right and wrong.
Don't get me wrong - the Danish paper does have the right to portray the prophet Muhammad with a bomb on his head, but then the cartoon of Anne Frank in bed with Adolf Hitler is also perfectly within the bounds of free speech.
While refusing to print something because it may be offensive is the first step down the ill-trod path to censorship, publishing depictions whose only purpose is to offend and inflame is but a different path to the same societal deterioration that free speech seeks to avoid.

 Why is knowledge preferred to true or right opinion?: Philosophy Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
And some religious people have held that their faith is supported by no reason-and have rather taken pride in that.
We seem to be agreed that the only difference between true opinion and knowledge is that the latter necessarily has, and the former may or may not have, justification.
Therefore, in the question, "is knowledge better than true opinion?", it can only be the case that the answer is positive if the thing that makes them different, in this case justification, is enough by itself to give one more value than the other.

Since we were right we were naturally entitled to act the way we did and therefore the responsibility for all the pain we caused others and ourselves lies with some else.

If living in a free society means that I have only the right to spend my time and money in wise and moral ways, then it doesn’t mean much at all.
Most gambling, particularly when there is no skill involved and one is betting on sheer luck, is either a silly frivolity or, for some, the gateway to a life of debt and frustration.
As long as your gambling does not infringe on my right not to engage in or promote gambling — a test that private video poker passes but a state-run lottery does not — the proper response is to allow it while those so inclined work to discourage it in other ways, such as moral suasion.
