The Difference Between “Right” & “Left”

30 January 2009, 6:54 pm. 8 Comments. Filed under Moonbats & Other Animals, Opinion, Politics.

Well, you see, the thing is……we don’t care what color a person is, we care about his/her politics.  There is a big difference between electing a guy as POTUS JUST because of his skin color, and choosing a guy to lead because of his stand on policies.

Seriously, I don’t really care, one way or the other, who the RNC chair is.  What I DO care about?  Will the guy bring the Party back to the right….where it belongs.  (I might reconsider my membership if he does.)  I have concerns about Steele’s stand on the 2nd Amendment, and the right of us little folks out here to defend ourselves again the criminal element…AND an oppressive government.  I may have been steered wrong, and haven’t a clue where he really stands.  Other than that, I don’t see a problem with the man.

Now, to put light on the whole thing, if a black person is a conservative, they are fair game for the left, no matter what.  If those on the right take issue with a very left/liberal/progressive, or whatever they call themselves these days, then it’s racist.  Will someone please explain this to me?

    Here’s my take, from the blog:

    Congratulations to Michael Steele, I wish him, and the RNC much luck!

    That said, it appears that a lot of bloggers are almost ‘giddy’ with joy at the election of Steele to the position of Chairman. I am sure Steele is a great choice, I hope he is because right about NOW would be a really GREAT time for Steele to make EVERY effort to move the RNC back to some TRUE Republican roots, and as far away from being nothing more than *Dem Lite* as is possible. No more RINOs! EVER!! RINOs have destroyed the Republican party.

    If the RNC doesn’t go back to being REPUBLICAN, if the RNC doesn’t stop trying to be as much like the Dems as they can, I will STILL be an Independent, and the Republican party will continue to be the party of weak-assed old losers, John McCain, and will continue to lose Congressional and Senatorial seats to the Dems.

    Am I being a hard-ass?? You bet I am, it’s time to fight or forget it, and I am NOT going to support ANY candidate that’s not Conservative 1st, not until such time that the RNC becomes the party of true Conservatism, and nothing BUT Conservatism!

    One story I saw leads off with Michael Steele becomes first black RNC chairman. Personally, I don’t care if he’s green with purple polka-dots. It’s what kind of JOB he can do to bring the Republican party back into line with CONSERVATISM, that is the goal that must be kept in sight!

    Without the Conservatives of this nation the Republican party can forget ANY election, and I personally know many Republicans that are now far more inclined towards pure Conservatism than they are the RNC party policy. Steele had best keep this in mind, otherwise, being a Republican means about as much as it did under the last RNC chairman.

    Return INTEGRITY to the RNC Mr. Steele, if you can do that, then there is a great possibility the Republicans can take this nation by storm in 2010!

    And as I said…you said it much better than I could, or did. :)

    “If those on the right take issue with a very left/liberal/progressive, or whatever they call themselves these days, then it’s racist. Will someone please explain this to me?”

    It’s simple. It’s because we argue to the principle, not to the person. We also don’t get histrionic about things.

    capper, I’m not real sure how you can even say that with a straight face. I’m just assuming you have a straight face, I could be wrong. Have you actually taken a good look at the folks on your side? Their behavior? Spitting, screaming obscenities…AT people who disagree, no matter what the issue is at hand. That has nothing to do with ‘principle’.

    Like everything else “liberal”, they dislike anything they can’t pigeon hole. It is easier to make ad hominem attacks than to discuss differences and possible solutions. Liberals are the ultimate childish contrarian that never grows up or matures.

    @WolfDog
    Didn’t you know? There ARE no possible solutions but their own. :? That’s why you see so many temper tantrums from them.

    Oh, yes, Kate, I readily admit that there are more than enough lunatics on our side. That alone is the biggest reason I don’t even bother with Daily Kos or Huffington.

    That said, there are just as many, if not more, on the right side. You have crossed that line more than once, yourself.

    ‘Tis the extremists on both sides that is keeping this country quagmired. It’s the extremists that want to drive it in the ditch, they just can’t agree on which one.

    @capper
    Well, I hope they hurry up and decide. :? How ’bout head on, cuz they are playing chicken with our lives.

    I’m afraid though, there are some things we’ll never be able to agree on, no matter how rational and reasonable we are. :(
