Beyond "Right-Wing" and "Left-Wing"

http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/07/unitarian-shooter-was-right-wing-but.html

The murder of liberal unitarian churchgoers by a right-wing nut is truly horrible. The killer - Jim Adkisson - apparently was influenced by such right-wing talking heads as Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity.

But let's put this in perspective . . .

Moreover, Savage, O'Reilly and Hannity are not true conservatives. They are stooges for the neocons and other criminals running our government. True conservatives like Ron Paul oppose the fascist and militant stands of the neocons and their media lapdogs.

Instead of cheering the destruction of the Constitution and the rule of law like Savage, O'Reilly and Hannity do, true conservatives like Ron Paul are working with liberals in order to save our constitution (just like many true conservatives endorse Dennis Kucinich's battle to impeach Bush and Cheney).

I'm frankly sick of all this right-wing versus left-wing talk. The labels "right-wing" and "left-wing" are largely outdated. Neoconservatives are not conservative, and neoliberals are not liberal. Some of the biggest war hawks call themselves "liberal", and some of the biggest hypocrites and liars call themselves "conservative".

Frankly, I don't care what you call yourself. America is in real trouble, and the hour is much too late to focus on peripheral issues. The only thing I care about is whether you are working for liberty, justice, truth, peace and sustainable prosperity or against them.

Even if you hate the people on the other side of the political divide, can't you put off that debate for a little while? You can't even play the game if you don't have a playing field to play on.

The people who are turning the world against America, weakening our national defenses, bankrupting our country, and trampling on our liberties are not "right-wing" or "left-wing", but simply unAmerican.

Until the rule of law and a stable economy are restored to America, why don't we focus our passion on getting the traitors and economy-wreckers out of power and into jail, where they belong. Let's unite - at least for now - to protect America itself.

Right Left

knarf911

So true....with all we are facing as a Nation, lets follow this advice and get past labels.
Thanks for saying this so well.

Yup, see if you're political views transcend

the left-right paradigm with this quiz.

Left-Right is a simple trap.

Yup, http://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis is another simple two-dimensional model that exposes the one-dimensional left v. right model to be totally inadequate. It's at least as inadequate as if we all gave our location as only the expression of our latitude. Think of how lost we'd all be. We're at least that lost politically.

But, you could model political thought in many more dimensions than just social and economic. For example, pacifist vs. interventionist doesn't figure into either of those simple quizzes. Other people, smarter than I, could easily point out others.

The trap, of course, lies in the fact that both "sides" of the line carry a good deal of baggage for most people. And, the people ruling the parties have tilted the line in significant ways to benefit themselves or their patrons. On globalism, is there a difference between the parties? On interventionism?

Google: "Hegelian Dialectic" and see how closely that philosophical model parallels the (PNAC) policy model of *Problem -> Reaction -> Solution*.

That being said, I just drove across northern Arizona and heard a whole bunch of right wing talk radio, and I have to say: Expect more of these killings.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Hats off, GW!

It is, frankly, a little scary when examples of murders are given, who were inspired by some idealogy.

IMHO, it is this kind of event that may trigger more restrictions on the 9/11 Truth Movement.

It's a great article, GW. We need more like it.

Thanks.

...don't believe them!

liberal vs. conservative

is simple divide and conquer. Thankfully more and more Americans are seeing past the charade.

One minor beef I have with your essay: the Unabomber was not a "liberal". If you read his essay he consistently attacks the "left". A more accurate description is "primitivist", ie someone who believes in the dismantling of what we call "civilization".

Calling him a "nut" is also a little disrespectful to his family, I think, despite the acts of terrorism he committed. He was clearly suffering from schizophrenia. Whether his illness resulted from the MKULTRA experiments he suffered while at University is unknown. You can see an interview with his brother on the subject at showshoefilms.com

right vs left...

Right vs. Left...keeps us from talking about
Right vs. Wrong.

The left-right paradigm has been used successfully for decades

to hide the fact that the NWO/elite/globalists are installing a one-world dictatorship under our noses.

I think of Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Tony Blair, etc., as professional actors & front men whose job is to keep the herds of sheeple from seeing the truth. They were doing quite well at this until the major screw-ups of 9/11 began opening the sheeples' eyes!

Divide and Conquor

That is the NWO boys MO. It always works. Lets put a stop to it right now. We all live on the same small planet, we all breath the same air, we all have the same hopes and dreams. Lets put an end to this non sense right now. "Live and Let Live"

Show "Interesting exchange about Obama" by AJFan

I'm wary of Obama because he seems to have come out of

nowhere to become the top presidential candidate. Other than that, I don't know enough about him.

Furthermore, I worry about charismatic people running for president, as if they are glorified cult leaders or something. (The president of the U.S. shouldn't be a showman/actor like a Mussolini or a Hitler were, for example.)

Right v. Left Is A Media Manufactured Psy-Op

Right v. Left is designed to deter societal progress.

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society ... In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
