Prometheus, of course you know that Ochs was farther left, not farther right, than liberals.
"In every american community, there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the Liberals, an outspoken group on many subjects. 10 degrees to the left of center in good times; 10 degrees to the right of center if it affects them personally." -Phil Ochs (as a preface to the song)

I'm actually pretty much of the centre left.
However I can't stand alot of peoples views on the left because of their tendancy to have hysterical ideasabout topics such as America.
Its always been the lefts problem, as has having a blinkered view of people who announce they are socialists and are nothing of the sought.

Infact I have some liberal elements in my social beliefs... if I didn't meet some of you people here I would still hold my old beliefs. I am now tolerant towards gays and am no longer a McCarthyist.

My fave conservative assertion...
"We represent the interests of working America"
what a crock...
oh and BTW, David is right (shiver)... both sides are to blame for the problems in this country. Dems are just as bad and corrupt as Republicans.

Don't insult my country, it shows how little you have behind your leftist argument. I mean your wrong argument.
What scares me the most is traitors like you... you abuse the people and want to rip them off. Your political beliefs make me laugh all the time because they are so illogical.

Ugh. What I personally detest is when you all say, like Fez(don't mean to pick on you, but you illustrate my point)
"At least we right-wingers are not as braindead as the left. "
The different political parties do not have one communal brain. That's like saying all people that have conservative beliefs think just like Bush, or that all lefties are pot-smokin' hippies just like Nader.
Maybe you have seen braindead left-wingers. That doesn't mean we're all braindead. But I don't think you're some oil-tycoon good 'ol boy just because your're rightist.
meh. I'm done with that rant now. Personally, I'm a beacon of liberalness surrounded by right-wing rednecks and senior citizens.

Fez, that comment about ripping his throat out is out of line and should deserve a banning. Threatening physical violence is unacceptable. Even a 12 year old knows that, so you have no excuse.

When somebody goes as low as insulting my country I take it very seriously! And that was no physical violence so don't take things so literally... I will make it feel like hell for him if he ever decides to take up a discussion with me.
I have removed it.

I should have included another idiotic assertion by conservatives; that corporate welfare is the only legitimate form of social welfare.

Actually the whole idea of labeling people one thing or another is misleading. When I rail against liberals I must say that I really do not know any who fit the sterotype (except for some who post here). A true liberal should be thought of as a kind hearted person who wants to share the world's resources with the less fortunate.
On the other hand a true conservative is one who wants to conserve things that have been proven to work to accomplish justice and opportunity for everyone. It should be remembered that it was conservatives who have fed and clothed the poor for centuries. They did and still do have compassion for less fortunate people just like the true liberal does. The difference really is the methods used to accomplish the same end. One side would compell the other would do it freely.
Of course now everything is twisted. The conservatives are viewed as greedy businessmen and the liberals are viewed as elitist know-it-alls who think they have the wisdom to rule the world and distribute other peoples resources. I belong to neither group and most of my liberal friends do not either. Too bad that jerks have taken these labels so that real compassionate conservatives and liberals are at each other's throats.

aw I missed Fez's post, darn.... actually Fez, my beliefs are quite logical. Everyone deserves a fair opprotunity in life to be successful. I.E. Free health care, education, and job placement assistance. I guess you wouldn't understand since there's no goose-stepping involved.
