My doctrine is that of freedom, a notion neither the left nor the right seem particularly fond of lately.
The left have shown they will tolerate tyrrany abroad, while the right seem to advocate tyrrany at home. What manner of man would I be, if I identified with either of these factions? A tyrant, I say. |
The left don't necessarily oppose getting rid of tyranny abroad, but they do oppose war as a means of doing it. If I recall correctly, it was Cheney who said the US army shouldn't play peacemaker but rather protect the citizens of the United States. This is in line with the conservative ideology. I, on the other hand, as a leftist, believe the army should play both roles (although peacemaker should be only in extreme cases where all possibilities for peace have been accounted for).
