IMO there is no left or right anymore just reactionaries who react when they dont like something. You can make the argument of Bush being a lefty on all the asshat spending his been doing... or maybe its just part of his plan to get rid of SS and other social programs in the near future Remember when Clinton went to war in eastern Europe along with NATO? OMG CLINTON IS AN EVIL RIGHT WING WAR MASTERBATOR. However the left has done more good than the right for overall society then a few percent like Bush has done.

Indeed, some communists believe that you can do away with the state all together and just have the simple “organising of things”.

less taxes? yeah for the rich, and a few twenties for the middle/poor classes. dont forget those tax cuts kill programs that are in use by both the middle and low, but yeah mostly the poor.

By more government, Ninja-Balls means the government is seen to have more control over things and is seen in more aspects of life. More regulations, more state owned services, that kinda thing. Not the size of the administration.

in that case then, why do religous right wingers want to know whats going on in my bedroom. some regulations are good or did you forget my poor state of california and what enron and other greedy power companies and pete wilson did also the military is the largest social program in the nation, guess who favors that the most.

Hitler was neither "right" or "left" in modern-day terms. If anything, he was just one big anti-semite. In that case, I guess he has more in common with the Arab world of today, than any of the Western political labels.

sharon is a little more to the right than hitler was and a little less authoritarian

although they do share the "war criminal" label

People, please stop trying to define right and left as if political ideaologies resided upon a simple scale that goes from left to right. The equivalent would be for me to give you a True or False test to determine how intelligent/creative/responsive/and witty you were.

was a stupid statement and i answered in kind
