Those who politicise see politics everywhere.

You know the author? He told you his intent?

Can you stop for a minute and define leftist? What principles define "leftist"?
Politics is the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.

Nope. His intent is obvious.

It would take me more than a minute to describe leftist and I need to go back to work. A broad definition: "Someone generally on the left side of the political spectum".

Chris, slap me...but I can`t resist... :P

I`ve been on US forums long enough to know what a leftist is:

* hating the Us
* bashing Bush
* killing unborn innocent babies
* loving unions
* tree-hugging envirowhackos
* demanding for socialistic healthcare
* welfare buns
* leading immoral lifestyles
* supporting homosexual marriage

abrad, this is in no way meant to offend you... :) :)

Circular. A lefty is on the left???


MrsS, exactly what I mean. If that defines leftist then leftist is just a hodgepodge of things the speaker does not like.

I don't like anchovies. Guess they're leftist too then.

My friend served in Propaganda Unit in communistic Army (I might tell you how I avoided draft.... sometime ;))
The idea was all the words, like capitalism, USA, Corporation paint in black colors, when everything about communism in bright, happy colors.
If the US Army is so voluntary, why do they have to corner the young people inside school buildings, instead approaching them on the streets?
That is what other volunteer organizations do!
