‘..the distinction between traitors and Democrats was that the former acted unilaterally while the latter put the stamp of considered policy on their treason.’
Daniel Greenfield
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Why we ought to abandon the left-vs-right fallacy.
http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/?p=25407#comment-61768
Libertarians versus collectivists.
Freedom versus tyranny.
The individual versus the state.
Anything else is just globalist frequency-jamming for the brain.
I have to disagree,there very much is a left-right paradigm.On the extreme right you have anarchy,on the extreme left you have socialism,communism and fascism.
What has people confused are the left’s advances into the right’s camp.I’ve been arguing for years that the Republican party needs to be purged of any politician who doesn’t strictly adhere to the founding principles.Allowing RINO’s to wear the label is what causes all the confusion,it also costs us elections.
A refresher course-

What Darin said.
Left/right is merely convenient, well understood and mostly reasonably accurate shorthand.
As someone pointed out, Labour and National could be two different butt-cheeks (one of the left and other on the right).
As Wombat points out, there could be many dimensions:
1) individual vs. collective (the locus of control)
2) conservative vs. progressive (the rate of change within society)
3) isolationist vs. internationalist (the rate of transfer between different societies)
The old left-right paradigm has had its day.
Sure, but I refuse to paralyze every damn post and comment with a long list of qualifiers and descriptors which are merely fodder for nit-picking arguments.
That way, and we end up like a bunch of theologians….you know, angels and pinheads stuff.
I have to disagree about the “right/left political spilt.”
I think it’s still operative on the grounds that we have allowed the Left to define the terms – for instance, the Left maintains to this very day the Nazi Party (National SOCIALIST German Workers Party) WAS A RIGHT WING POLITICAL PARTY
Nonsense The title clearly defines a LEFTIST TOTALITARIAN PARTY The RIGHT, in contrast, is exactly that Right about freedom. Right about religion. Right about government. The Founding Documents of the United States put the philosophy of liberty into practice in a republican government structure.
What the Right stands for is individual liberty, capitalism and limited constitutional government. The Leftist Media can blast all day about certain European political parties as being “Right Wing” – when the reality is that they are socialist at the core and simply a different variety of Left Wing.
America has for too long allowed the Left to define the terms of debate. For instance, they assign the color RED to those states that follow liberty like Texas, and the color BLUE to those states that are neo-communist like California. I say BLUE is the color of liberty and Left can take back their fucking RED FLAG OF OPPRESSION
“I say BLUE is the color of liberty and Left can take back their fucking RED FLAG OF OPPRESSION.”
I agree, Ronbo.
I’ve always thought it *weird* that the US denotes Conservatives using red and commies using blue.
Blue has *always* been the colour of Conservatives and red has always been the colour of *commies*.
Several times I’ve had to google it just to be sure my memory wasn’t on the fritz.
Bah. Well I’ve turned this comment thread quite ugly. My apologies.
I will continue to place blame as accurately as I can when speaking of the enemies of civilisation, but I will defer from making a big deal out of it when others speak more broadly.
We can all take solace that legitimate targets will be clearly identifiable when things get genuinely ugly, and there will be no shortage of them for me to quibble over precisely who is worth a bullet and who is not.
I bid you adieu for the evening. I have meant no harm.
p.s. I deleted several of my comments. I should know better than to argue semantics. My apologies to anyone who was drafting replies.
No apology necessary, Wombat. I reckon you made a good point and besides, some open and honest disagreement among friends is stimulating.
Ugly?Who brought up Hillary?
The fact that we can agree to disagree in a civil manner separates us from those less evolved.
Cheers, fellas.

Damn right he is.
I’ve sometimes wondered if Ozzy was accurate.
