ORIGINAL: Moonhead quote:
ORIGINAL: cloudboy The difference between the left and the right is that the fringe exercises a lot of power on the right. The gov't shutdown, lack of immigration reform, debt ceiling shenanigans, and widespread attempts to limit gay marriage, contraception, and abortion can all be laid at the feet of the far right. These nut jobs are impervious to facts and reason. They also appear to be the Republican Party's "base" these days, rather than their lunatic fringe. How depressing is that? (And can we please stop using "left" and "right" as terms interchangeable with "Democrat" and "Republican", please? The last Democrat leader who actually leaned to the left was Carter, and look what you people did to that poor bastard...) Its like 'Nazi Purity' in many ways with being 'conservative'. That one has to go through super, ultra-strict sets of tests just to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that one is indeed, 100% pure, Grade A, conservative. So anything that is less (even 99% almost pure conservative) is considered on the left. Which is why Gov. Cristsi and former Gov. Bush are normally 'conservative' they are considered, not conservative enough to be conservative. To be truly conservative these days, one has to remove reality, logic, sensibility, decency, and wisdom from their minds and vocabulary.
