Right Wing

Have you exercised your "right wing" today? If not, how can you be sure you're not flying in circles? Seriously, if you read a couple of articles on any given issue of the day; the union protesters in Wisconsin, Obama's position on DOMA - or Lybia - in a left publication like The Huffington Post and then read a couple of articles on the same subjects in any of these, it's sometimes hard to believe these people are talking about the same things at all. Why is that? Do you understand? Do you WANT to understand? In the interest of helping some o' youse peeps maybe not be so one-sided in yer views...


American Daily Review


If you learn and retain no other fact about socialism, learn and retain this: to the marxist/socialist/communist, government is the source of all good, virtue, and provision. The godlike State is all to this ideology. Everything de peepul have comes from government. "Without government," to dutifully twist the old Dow Chemical slogan, "life itself would be impossible."


This is why lefties condemn the private sector (the "bourgeoisie" in Marxist nomenclature, aka the middle class, aka Us, The People) as evil. Since the State is god in their worldview, anybody that pursues his own economic interests apart from it is by definition a heretic, an ingrate, and a thief stealing from the government cornucopia and corrupting the proletariat like a wicket pied piper. And since the private sector is villainous by definition, the notion of it ruthlessly exploting[sic] and plundering the "poor" it's lured away from "righteousness" is inevitable. Source.

Let's take that "universal constants" thing... that is, the assertion that if even one of the many variables of physics were only slightly different, humans would not exist. One response to that is, "AHA! This proves the universe was deliberately designed by a creator who intentionally put us here."
Another response to that is, "Well, duh! That proves that humans as we know them are one possible result of all those constants being what they are."


Which is closer to your view?


More importantly...why?
