Most are, but then if you include the Libertarians in the Republican Party, particularly Ron Paul and his supporters you would have to say the same thing about them. "Leftist" and "Rightist" are not instructive terms if you are going to think deeply about American politics.
In the larger universe, democrats are leftists and monarchists are rightist. But you wouldn't call Republicans monarchists. As believers in a democratic society Republicans are leftists too. When you zoom down from the larger universe and get down to say, the block you live on, and take all those people and put them in a room you could survey them and find out who belongs on the right and who belongs on the left, but they could all still be Democrats or they could all be Republicans.
Republicans don't want to be called monarchists and they don't want to be called leftists and they don't want to be called moderates either. So it is probably best just to call them Democrats and Republicans and look deeper into their published policies and goals for insights on what they stand for.

What is leftist-heap?
A leftist heap is a type of heap data structure that is a variant of a binary heap. It supports all the standard heap operations (insertion, deletion, and merging) with performance guarantees similar to binary heaps, but it maintains a leftist property that ensures that the left child has a shorter or equal path to the nearest null (empty) node than the right child. This property helps to improve the efficiency of merge operations in leftist heaps compared to binary heaps.
