I mentioned two in the OP that certainly are not Center Right.

1) Decriminalization of Marijuana. Hardly a Center Right position. Polling has over the last several years consistently shown that a plurality, and occasional majority support this effort.

2) Civil Rights especially the ones violated regularly by the Security State. A majority of Americans oppose NSA spying. Again, hardly a Center Right populist issue.

I agree that the support for Israel tends to come from the Center Right, and I mention it in the OP. I mention that the Ad came from a Conservative group that supports Israel.

But how is Marijuana legalization and NSA spying part of the Center Right?
