I've always wondered why liberals were referred to as the left & conservatives as the right

Or from Latin: Dexter = right handed, Sinister= left

These “people” are NOT liberal. They are pinko commies.
To be liberal( -minded) actually would, or at least should, mean:
to let others do what they will, as long as they are not harming others, and, to a certain extent, themselves. Isn’t that the meaning of what is enshrined in The Constitution?
Thet have usurped our Words.

I could be wrong of course( but methinks, not.).
