Left & Right:
I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right"
and Liberals are called the "left."
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
But the heart of the fool to the left."
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)
Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
Can't get any simpler than that.
Spelling Lesson:
The last four letters in American..........I Can
The last four letters in Republican.......I Can
The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats
End of lesson. Test to follow November, 2012
Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent extermination month. |

Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent extermination month. So the Republican Party is the party of "Religious & Family Values",but yet your official spokesperson and anointed leader Rush Limbubba is strung out on oxycotin,currently on his 4th wife, and he does not have any children, but this is the guy that preach "family values" to the lil gullible sheep daily and they eat that garbage up.

“The search for truth and knowledge is one of the finest attributes of man-though often it is most loudly voiced by those who strive for it the least.”
~ Albert Einstein
“Of all the communities available to us, there is not one I would want to devote myself to except for the society of the true seekers, which has very few living members at any one time.”
~ Albert Einstein
“The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.”

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results…….. Albert Einstein You know that Einstein was a liberal socialist right. 
Einstein was in favor of reform and open to new ideas for progress which is the definition of a liberal. That quote applies to conservatives who are for traditional views and values and tending to oppose change and is reluctant to change or consider new ideas. As in doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

#17 Posted: 4/12/2012 9:34:06 AM Conservatives believe in free markets.
Free markets spark new ideas.
Free markets have given us automobiles, washers, dryers and the computers we’re using now.
Free markets have lifted more people out of poverty than socialism has cast in to.
“…open to new ideas for progress which is the definition of a liberal.”
Liberals believe in collectivism.
Liberals believe in socialism.
Too bad socialism isn’t a new idea.

#18 Posted: 4/12/2012 10:28:14 AM Apache, proper translation Ecclesiastes 10:2
"A wise person chooses the correct road, a fool takes the wrong one."
If people were really serious about the Word of God, they would know that Jesus said that the greatest Commanments are two. Love God with all your heart, and Love thy neighbour as thyself. Think about it.. If we all followed just these two, there would be, no wars, no hatred, no murder, no abuse, no greed. |

Rush has alot of followers but I don't think he is the official spokesperson of the party.
Gov. Christie has more influence on the party than Limbaugh who is just a talking head.
Rosie Odonnell once had a lot of supporters, but that doesn't make her the spokesperson for liberals....Thank God! |

“A whitty saying proves nothing.”…….Voltaire Well you’re half right and half wrong. I believe in a combination of ideas. That’s why I tend to lean towards libertarianism. I like capitalism and liberalism.
I have yet to meet a single liberal that thinks or talks alike but most conservatives act like brainwashed cloned sheep that hate sociology, philosophy, liberal arts, equality, multiculturalism, and progression.
All I know is the democratic party has recycled bad ideas and the republican party has no new ideas but wants to indoctrinate me at gun point. I’m trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea.
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
~ Albert Einstein
Obama had tried to be different and thrown money at things but everything he throws at the wall never sticks.
Obama 2012: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Romney 2012: Regression, you can't teach an (G “Old” P) dog new tricks.
“Better to trust the man who is frequently in error than the one who is never in doubt.”
~ Eric Sevareid
“One wanders to the left, another to the right. Both are equally in error, but are seduced by different delusions.”
~ Horace
The only way things change is if five hundred and thirty-five Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, and John Stossel fans take over congress.
