Left Wing and Right Wing: It Is All a Big Lie : Veracity Voice

An interesting 2010 opinion article.

The mainstream media – including Fox News, Limbaugh and the big-time media that calls itself “Christian” – would have you think that the grand battle is between the left and the right.
This is such a lie.

Here are some examples.
GW Bush outspent Clinton by $1 trillion per year and continued every last federal welfare program – and added a few of his own – and left-wingers hated him.
Obama has continued all of Bush’s wars – and added a few more – and right-wingers hate him.
Left-wingers say they support civil liberties, yet look the other way while Obama continues with the Bush surveillance state.
Right-wingers say they support individual freedom, yet have no apparent problem with rogue police and the fact that America has the world’s highest incarceration rate.
Left-wingers want us to panic and give up our freedom out of fear of global warming.
Right-wingers want us to panic and give up our freedom out of fear of terrorism.
Left-wingers say they are tolerant, but want to stifle public expressions of Christianity.
Right-wingers oppose Obamacare because it puts medical decisions in the hands of the government, yet they get their undies in a bunch about the idea of legal medical marijuana.
Left-wingers want to regulate how fast your toilet can flush.
Right-wingers want to ban online poker.
The left has its limousine liberals.
The right has its chicken hawks.
The left has Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Edwards and countless others.
The right has Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and countless others.
No matter which wing gets the upper hand in government, the result is the same: perpetuation of the welfare-warfare-police-nanny state.

As Butler Shaffer once wrote, “Left and Right are only two wings on the same bird of prey.”
The hypocrisy is endless.

    • A house divided will never succed. I really don't associate myself with any party. Because then you force yourself to agree with idiots like you just mentioned who have a political party agenda. Then you have to defend them and so on. Their all just telling you want to hear and then doing the same thing they always do. It's all screwed up.

      Political party does not equate to Conservative and Left-winger. Conservatives will gravitate towards the Republican Party; what are they supposed to do, support Obummer? Hopefully, the Conservatives can move the Republicans more to the Constitution, and that means away from Left-wingers who want to destroy the Constitution.

      Left-wingers claim to be in the center and that is vapid. They promote that propaganda with the hope of making lovers of liberty and our Constitutional and Founding heritage look like reactionaries, when, in fact, they represent our nation and its traditions, history, virtues and republicanism.
