Is all relative.
To the majority of folks posting in this forum, I'm very left, and Obama is way out there. To a more diverse audience, I'm much closer to the center, even right on many issues, and Obama is left but not nearly as much as he is compared to the center here.
Obama's own books reveal that he is far left, from Black Liberation Theology to seeking out radicals and marxists while in college. He only ran a centrist campaign to get elected, and even then, he needed a mass media willing to overlook his leftism.
I still think even "relatively speaking," Obama is far left. Yes, I would characterize this board as being far right. I would not categorize LG anywhere but the left.
I never said they condoned it. We were kids being kids. Our scoutmasters were tools. They were clueless as to what we were up to. I took my first drink of shine before I had hair on my sack. A couple beers was not gonna get me hammered. But that sort of thing is behind me. Sure it was stupid but it's what we did back then.
LG believs that he himself is a moderate.......
In all fairness he has cut off ties with Reverand Wright and was not, I repeat, was not in attendance for the
" damn America" sermon.:thumbsup:
Johanna Blumenthal, with the Boulder County ACLU, sent a letter today to officials with the Boulder Valley School District arguing that the Boy Scouts are a discriminatory group because they have openly defended the right to exclude homosexuals from membership.
It cracks me up when LG claims to be a moderate....and yet all he does is hate on republicans...
That's a terribly inaccurate oversimplification.
First, I equally condemn the loons on the right and the left. I have, at every turn, criticized Sharpton and Jackson in this forum. I similarly criticize Beck and Hannity.
Now, on this forum, there's been no one defending Sharpton and Jackson. We all loathe them and their incendiary rhetoric and irrational "logic." So there's not much to talk about, really.
Also happens I am the only one with the intellectual honesty to also point out that Beck and Hannity are equally as anti-intellectual. They are bombastic and fear-mongering just like Sharpton and Jackson, just to a different audience. So, there's more to talk about with them and it makes it look like I criticize only them and only because I'm far left. Which I'm not.
The enemy in my view is neither right nor left, Republican nor Democrat. The enemy is shrill speakers who appeal to the most basic knee-jerk reaction in those who don't think but instead just look for people who will agree with their preordained views.
You are absolutely delusional. Literally every sentence is nearly the exact opposite of reality. The first sentence is complete garbage. Now, read paragraph 3. Think about it very hard. Now read paragraph 2. Think hard again.
