I see similarities between left wing and right wing rather than differences, because to me the right wing is fanatical about their interpretation of the bible, but the left is equally as fanatical about "political correctness", their little pseudo-religion.

Not sure that it is left/right kinda thing. If a person is a fair skinned black, or married to a black person, they are going to frown on many jokes involving race made in their presence by people that didn't know and thought they were 'one of us.' It isn't because the frowners are left-wing or politically correct. It is because they object to racism. The same is true with remarks about handicaps, gender, or sexual orientation. When you make joke or callous statement about someone who died from some weird disease, and you find one person you said that to get upset or feel uncomfortable because they had a family member die of the same thing, the problem is with you, not with them.

Sure, some people go too far. Some people are hypersensitive. But my experience has been that people that are bigots love to yell "Political Correctness!" whenever any one calls them on their $hit. As if that proves that they are in the right. As if they are defending liberty and making the world a better place by being offensive.

No, I'm talking about people who use the race card for anything they can find to, even when it is not legit. Certain plain-as-day facts you can't point out in the presence of the PC police because they'll call you a "racist' or "sexist" for acknowledging them. For example, why is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson treated like civil rights leaders, when in reality all they are is racist hypocrites, who've done more to poison race relations than anything, and rather than representing their people, they represent their pockets.
Feminazi organizations that act like men are the bain behind all the world's troubles, and I'm sorry to have to state this, but the border problem has nothing to do with the color of their skin. It would make no difference if they were illegal white canadian immigrants. We do not have the resources to foster the world's hungry, we need border laws to regulate, so we'll know how many are living here, who are living here, any possible criminal backgrounds on those people, these are things the government needs to know in order to maintain order and economic stability. It has nothing to do with race at all. It does not take a gung-ho nationalist to see why we have borders.
Yes, I feel for our neighbors to the south, and I do think we should do --something-- to help them out, but letting them come here to live illegally is not it. By doing that, companies are under-cutting the american citizens by giving our jobs to someone who can and will work for peanut wages that us citizens can not afford, it saves the company money because they don't have to pay them as much. But it looses jobs for us, and don't say they are jobs citzens don't want, because a construction job pays around $10 an hour, more than most of us are making at McD's or the super market. Point blank, it is making us a poor nation. I'm not for this pipe dream utopia anti-law, anti-regulation, no government myth the left wing believes in, because it is not reality, it is a delusion, it would end up in chaos. I just think we need an organized government at the will of the people. We've got rules and regulations for a reason. Borders aren't about keeping a certain group out. hell there are legal hispanics and illegal white people too.

Yes, PC has gone too far when you can't even point out an obvious fact like women are easier socialised than men due to gender priveledge in the dating scene, and sometimes this gives them an advantage over men, in other areas as well. That doesn't make me a "sexist", it means I have the balls to speak the truth a lot of the PC crowd are probably thinking somewhere in their brains but are too afraid to say.

Did you know that Al Sharpton denies any cases of black racism against whites? He has shown up to court cases where 3 black girls beat down and nearly comatized a white girl because she was white, and before hearing any facts or points or anything from either side, went on to conclude publicly that it was racist against blacks for them to accuse the assailants of a racist crime? There have been numbers of cases where Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson has made blanket, racist statements against white people. Mind you my best friend is a black guy, don't even think about trying to call me a racist for not conforming to the leftie clique and trying to see s**t through rose-colored glasses. I am a strong centralist.

I am a free thinker. Contrary to popular opinion, free thinking is not synonymous with predictable corn-fed left wing propaganda, nor is it synonymous with corn-fed predictable right wing propaganda.

I guess Ann Coulter was right: "Conservatives believe in God. Liberals believe they are God." I just read that sentence in her book, "Treason". How appropriate to this discussion. Even liberals who don't consciously believe they are God/gods still act it out, by playing God with human life (abortion/euthenasia), etc.

And live-and-let-die economics?

Funny how so many greedy conservatives proclaim their membership in the club of Christ, yet manage to ignore the parts about selling all they have and giving it to the poor. Y'all can believe Ann Coulter that the Republicans are the Party of God (which translates to 'Hezbollah' in Arabic). Me, I tend to believe what the man said about a rich person getting to heaven ... its easier for a camel to pass through the eyes of a needle.

Well, I Myself am agnostic regarding My own divinity. I *have* been called a goddess by three different people, none of whom ever met one another.

Fortunately, I preside over things that happen all by themselves, without need of divine intervention. :P

How about this idea, it's called the 1st amendment, we have the right to choose what we believe in, and there is no law stating we HAVE to believe in YOUR religion.
