...other than a few nut cases, most folks on the right just want to be left alone. Ya don't have to worry about the nut cases because a majority of the folks on the right seem to lose interest in politics once they get the boat turned in the right direction. The nut cases can't do it by themselves.
...the nut cases on the left are manipulating and controlling and want to be in charge of everyone else's life. This guy makes too much money, that one don't have enough. This one eats steak that one eats beans. This one lives in a mansion that one lives under a bridge. The left talks a lot about a level playing field, but what they really want is a level outcome. If the left ran pro football, every game would end in a 0-0 tie. No one would ever score and no one would ever get tackled or blocked.
The biggest difference between the left and the right is that the nut cases make up about ten percent of the right and about ninety percent of the left.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
