Re: [ST] was: Mobile Phone flame war - TORCH ON! >> political help

So let me get this straight. I lived down here for almost 4 years, think
I know what is going on, but a good old sanity check is in order.


liberal == democrate == socialist but with out a lot of religeon

conservative == republicans == capitialist == everyone is responsible
for them selves, less government, the only exception is no euthinasia,
assisted suicide, abortion, or other means of pain/and suffering relief



So then we get to the left and right of each group.

The left side of the liberals/democrates thinks that 50% income tax
seems like a good round number.

Right side of the liberals/democrates thinks that 50% income tax is a
bit high and will screw up the economy, but we still need a decent set
of laws to dictate behaviour and of course those lunch programs at
school must be funded at all costs.

Where as the left side of the republicans sees the value of those school
lunch programs and will work to get the ones in there state funded.

And of course the right side of the republicans/conservatives honestly
believe that if you could not afford the kid's lunch, you should not
have had the kid in the first place, anyway all the budget should go to
the military.


Does that sound right???
