Left Wing and Right Wing: It is All a Big Lie
by Doug Newman, dougnewman@juno.com
The mainstream media—including Fox News, Limbaugh and the big-time media that calls itself "Christian"—would have you think that the grand battle is between the left and the right.
This is such a lie.
Here are some examples.
GW Bush outspent Clinton by $1 trillion per year and continued every last federal welfare program—and added a few of his own—and left-wingers hated him.
Obama has continued all of Bush's wars—and added a few more—and right-wingers hate him.
Left-wingers say they support civil liberties, yet look the other way while Obama continues with the Bush surveillance state.
Right-wingers say they support individual freedom, yet have no apparent problem with rogue police and the fact that America has the world's highest incarceration rate.
Left-wingers want us to panic and give up our freedom out of fear of global warming.
Right-wingers want us to panic and give up our freedom out of fear of terrorism.
Left-wingers say they are tolerant, but want to stifle public expressions of Christianity.
Right-wingers oppose Obamacare because it puts medical decisions in the hands of the government, yet they get their undies in a bunch about the idea of legal medical marijuana.
Left-wingers want to regulate how fast your toilet can flush.
Right-wingers want to ban online poker.
The left has its limousine liberals.
The right has its chicken hawks.
The left has Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards and countless others.
The right has Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and countless others.
No matter which wing gets the upper hand in government, the result is the same: perpetuation of the welfare-warfare-police-nanny state.
That's why we need better deception
Wait till 2010, that's when there's like 5 or 6 candidates who talk a much better game might win. Then we'll see things start changing.
Yeah, but if only 'WE' got 'OUR' candidate elected...
Need I say any more?
So how bad do you suppose it'll get before enough people figure out that all the politics game is all about is legitimizing violence for the purpose of getting one's way?
Good article
Thanks, for sharing. I do want to give voting one last chance with Ron Paul and the Liberty candidates.
Oh, believe me, I totally understand...
I voted for liberty candidates for over 20 years - including Ron Paul in '88 - before finally admitting the futility (what's that definition of insanity?). You take your time... :-)

I guess I'm not as far
along the knowledge curve and maybe foolish to think this time may be different because of the internet but to not vote isn't that like saying ok do what you want with us?
Thanks, x for being here and trying to help us, I know we don't always agree on everything but I certainly appreciate your view.
Thanks! Likewise, I'm sure...
:-)
