Thread Name: BS: What is Left? Where is Right?
Subject: RE: BS: What is Left? Where is Right?
Try walking after removing either your right or your left leg. Not easy. This bears remembering, folks.

"Divide and conquer" is precisely it. That is the fundamental function of the Redemocrapublicants, for instance, the phoniest 2-party system in history.

The more important distinction than "right" or "left" is this: Which political statements and actions arise out of love? And which arise out of fear? Figure that out, and you will be in a good position to decide whom to put your faith in, and whom to offer your support.

I would suggest that virtually every political leader and group out there right now in the main headlines is almost exclusively using fear to push his agenda. I remember one who didn't...Gorbachev. It's amazing they let him live. Another one who speaks from love, not fear, is Jimmy Carter. They are rare birds in politics, those guys.
