here are SOME FEW reasons WHY being a lefty, progressive, liberal (*ptui*) type is objectively 'better' than being a reichwing, conservative type:
1. left is tolerant, right is intolerant...
(oh, by the way, calling an intolerant person 'intolerant', is not 'intolerance', that is called honesty...)
2. left is for the poor, right makes money off the poor...
(please explain 'structural unemployment, hhh)
3. left is for open, equitable gummint, right is for 'privatizing' or eliminating gummint... except when they aren't...
(which is when the opposite of their 'principles' work for them...)
4. left is for people power, right is for executive power...
(righties idiotic mantra-meme that bidnesses do stuff more efficiently, blah blah blah, is TOTAL HORSESHIT...)
5. left hates authoritarians, right desparately *wants* big daddy to tell them what to do...
(witness the hard corps 25-30% who follow Fearless Leader -reichwing version, of course- NO MATTER WHAT... are you going to tell me that that 25-30% is made up of lefties ? ? ?)
6. left believes we are a country with no more or less rights and privleges than any other country, right believes in bizarre and extreme visions of amerikan exceptionalism...
(in spite of YOUR PERSONAL libertarianish views and outrage at constitutional abrogations, THAT IS NOT THE DOMINANT THEME AMONG MOST CONSERVATIVES/RIGHTIES, IS IT ? ? ? )
7. left is for unions, right is against unions...
(well, not much of anybody is 'for' unions anymore, one major reason why amerikan workers are treated like disposable tissues...)
8. left is for free love, free drugs, and freedom, right is for big brother, big pharma, and sacrificing the bill of rights...
(c'mon, i got you there, there are hardly any reichwingers who publicly *PROFESS* to free love, even though they are apparently incapable of refraining from practicing it...)
9. left wants to leave your moral, personal, choices to yourself, right wants swat teams to descend upon bedrooms across amerika to make sure that the right people are doing the right things to the right people...
(and NO, reichwingers 'right' to discriminate against whoever they want, is NOT lefties 'oppressing' righties... like saying lawless, hypocritical, oppressive jews were mean to hitler for criticizing his right to 'lawfully' detain them in concentration camps...)
10. left wants the workers who are the BASIS OF ALL WEALTH, to share the major portion of wealth with the power elites who use their advantages to fleece us all, right wants to be the power elites fleecing us all...
(again, YOUR OWN SACRED TENET betrays and belies your feelgood propaganda: profit uber alles ! ! !)
11. left is for the rule of just laws, right wants THEIR preferred outcome, regardless of whether it is legal or not...
(ANYONE who does not recoil in horror at the mere THEORY AND IDEA of 'signing statements' and 'executive findings', IS NO FRIEND OF DEMOCRACY...)
just a few hightlights for you, rightstar...

just desserts for a moronic comment which typifies the 'reasoning' of reichwing contrarians and blowhards MAKING GLENN'S POINT WITH THEIR VERY COMPLAINTS...
ho ho ho
by the by, approx 90% of lawsuits are suits suing suits; guess that puts to lie the upright bidnessmen's brigade...

um, unless you are totally blind, procty, unrestrained kapitalist imperialism is one of our biggest problems, NOT a boon...

yes, anonnymouse, gummint can and DOES 'make people' take pills, etc... various prisoners and -you know- enemey non-combatants would like to shove a thorazine suppository up your favorite body opening to make their point... also, kids and others who are 'supposed' to be on 'medication' HAVE BEEN forced to take their 'meds' by the courts...
not only that, but nearly ALL OF US are 'forced' to undergo vaccinations of various types (some of questionable value, but known side effects); you may also find MANY military types who are suspicious of the NUMEROUS vaccinations, experimental drugs, etc, they are FORCED to be subject to in the service...
similarly, i recall it is texas where they have passed (enacted?) a law where ALL WOMAN/GRRLS will be required to get a relatively new (and questionable) vaccination against some flavor of venereal disease which is a precursor of uterine cancer...
buy, not to worry, i'm certain 'our' (sic) gummint won't start defining anyone as psychotic and having them undergo lobotomies, or sumpin'... i'm sure *that* would never happen with the christ-like political leaders we have...

oh, by the way, for the Big Pharma apologists (sockpuppets ?), the amount of money that Big Pharma spends on 'research and development' is DWARFED by what is spent on marketing...
(*AND* that includes the fact that a LOT of the so-called R&D money is spent on bullshit 'research' like what color to make the pill, what shape, etc...)
HOW MANY TIMES do we have to find out 10-20-30 years later that Big Pharma (or Big Chemical, for that matter) DID -in fact- have indications of problems/etc in their studies, which were then spiked, covered up. or otherwise hidden and minimized...
*THEN* 10-20-30 years later we find out they were LYING to us the whole time...
i'm sure that's not happening today... *snicker*
