Political polling data can often be confusing and misleading. A recent Monmouth University poll indicates that the vast majority of Americans – 88 percent, in fact – believe the country is on the wrong track. Other polls support those results with similar numbers.

How Far Right Is Freedom?
The left-right paradigm is the traditional understanding of the political spectrum as it is taught in political science classrooms and practiced by the mainstream. This simplification makes it easy to draw comparisons between political stances so that a lay audience can understand conversationally.
North Country Chronicles – Left and Right – What Do They Really Mean?
Left and Right. We hear these terms daily, but what do they really mean? The terms come from the French Revolution. In 1789, before the overthrow of the King, the National assembly was literally divided.
The Struggle is Real (pt.1)
There is a false premise being pushed by the media that it doesn’t matter if you’re Left or Right. We are all Americans, and we can all get along. As always, this is a Leftist talking point designed to stop the conversation before it starts.
If Neither Left nor Right Feels Bound, It Is Only a Legal Principle
How judicial nominees and appointees grasp the relationship between their judicial duty and the doctrine of stare decisis causes much consternation. This issue is a device of convenience having little meaning in the currently legislatively active judiciary.
Where is your voice? What will you stand for? What will you leave behind?
Today in America we are at a place where we can no longer call wrong, wrong, or right, right. We have reached a place where we refuse to recognize that people have a genetically determined sex. There is no such thing as gender fluidity. That is a made-up thing, an affectation to grant some credibility.
Moral Certitude in America
Moral Certitude is the confident agreement to or approval of something after consideration. In this case, the matter considered is human conduct. We make such assessments based on people’s normal and predictable responses. Those responses include certain needs, abilities, and motivations.
Hitler: “How and by What Means is Capitalism to be Eliminated?”
Paul H. Jossey, writing at Medium.com, notes accurately that, The Nazis Were Leftists, Deal With It.’ And so they were. National Socialism was socialism. Hitler, himself, thought it the better sort than the others.
Watch: Left Wing Action vs. Right (Antifa in Portland vs. Virginia Gun Rights Rally)
The left’s agenda is impossible without violence. Advancing it requires force and a militant police state to keep it that way. You can’t take things from people or make them do what you want without a means to punish those who won’t comply.
They just CAN’T leave ANYone alone, can they?
UPDATE/BUMPED: In trying to find something else in our archives, I came across this from 2016-04-24. That image is still as valid today as then and especially in light of my DISQUS Doodlings as well as on anything we report or opine on what the Left does. They are the Borg and they will not stop in any way possible to assimilate the rest of us. That is who they are. That is not what the rest of us aspire to be. Just freaking leave the rest of us alone and stop using the force of Government to do otherwise.

I am part of the Just Leave Me Alone Coalition – but the Left CANNOT stand anyone being outside of their notion of Collectivism. It echos the mantra of Fascism as defined in Mussolini’s Italy in the 1930s/1940s: According to Benito Mussolini, this system politicizes everything spiritual and human: “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” Liberals / Democrats / Progressives in the US are rapidly walking towards this faster and faster:
At the Democrat Convention: “Government is the only thing we all belong to“; another is Government is the thing we all do together“. Remember Hillary’s “It takes a Village”? Everything is couched in terms of GroupThink and “everyone all in” or “we’re all in this together”. Socialism (except, of course, you are the one at the top, the Primo Apparatchik).
It is ALWAYS the group we, the collective group, as if they believe we all are in this together. But we’re not – but they insist and do every thing they can to make it so – there is NO freedom allowable to dissent. By this yet additional datum, we see that they hate the US Constitution (re: free association held in the First Amendment):
LP Is Awesome! No, Not Liquid Propane, the Libertarian Party. Or is it?
I saw this humorous graphic on facebook this morning. I actually laughed out loud it was so absurd. Then I went to the LP facbook page (Washington DC) to ensure it came from them, which it did. I guess we could call it LP propaganda? It’s a graphic designed to show us all how AWESOME Libertarians are. They are pretty awesome, except when it comes to graphics like this one.
Now I’m assuming that the stuff in blue is lefty thought, those in red–are for the right, with the Libertarian party (on facebook at least) staking out a solid middle ground between the two, at least in this contrived configuration, and disavowing those issues they declare as legitimate for both sides–as defined by them–that are outside the lines defined for ‘Libertarians believe in.’
But when I look at this I don’t see awesome, all I see is ignorance. Case in point: Libertarians believe that people on the left believe in personal freedom?
Bwahahahahaha!
Email Doodlings – The wars may be ending, but will this wrong headed perception?
Obama has unilaterally ended the Iraq war (hmmm, didn’t he rail against that “Cowboy Unilateralist” Bush for making decisions on his own?) and is on his way in doing the same in Afghanistan. And while I had some words about it here, this is not the thrust of this post. Instead, it is this:
Neo-cons have no problem sacrificing their own children to the war machine. That sounds harsh, but it’s the truth
It brought back a memory of something very similar – it ignited my ire by effective saying the same thing:
Finally, if you believe in this mission, whatever it really is, are you willing to die or send your children to die for it?
This time, it started off with a discussion back aways about Sarah Palin getting into the Primary race but quickly morphed from that to this and I never expected to hear that from a non-Liberal friend. In essence, the far Left and the far Right / Libertarian movement have met and in a very ugly fashion in accusing parents of willingly sending their kids to die for an ideology. This is wrong at several different levels and to be clear, made my blood pressure rise – so I started to answer:
