Right and Left wing are common terms used today to describe conservative and liberal ideals respectively. This term has origins in the French Revolution where members of the Aristocracy sat on the right at legislative assembly meetings and commoners sat on the left. The poor tend to have more liberal ideals while the rich air on the side of conservatism and the names stuck.

Our dialogue has become as structured as our political actions so people who are more liberal in thinking are called liberal or on the left. The republican dialogue has been considered to the right or more conservative than the dialogue on the left. So they are called "right wing".
