The most critical difference between the political right and the political left is...

[K9Buck]

The most critical difference

The most basic, critical difference?

RIGHT: Believes in a people-up society of autonomy and self-determination where individuals freely explore their potentials.

LEFT: Believes in a government-down society where man is like a weed whose proclivities need carefully managed that they fit according to a predetermined master plan..

Well said.

So we have established that the left supports larger government and more government power. When the left goes to the extreme left, we end up with a totalitarian state as we have seen with the fascists, communists and socialists.

The example of the extreme right would be a nation with little to no government and few (if any) regulations.

The left is honest about wanting big govt and the right lies about it

Who wants government to manage our nation's healthcare, the right or the left?

Who wants the government to provide free college educations to all, the right or the left?

Let's keep it simple,
who thinks that a government that pays 600 dollars for a hammer can run a healthcare system?

…what they believe with regard to the size and scope of government. To me, that is what defines one as being either right or left wing. Do you agree? If not, then what is it?

The most critical difference between the political right and the political left is...
The Right is about protecting and preserving traditional American virtues, ideals, principles and all that made America unique and exceptional.
The Left seeks to write over the top of most of what made this nation great...they detest the American value systems, traditions, culture and the like.
In short, the Right wants their America back and the Left wants their new America and old America forgotten.

 

[rightwinger]

The right likes a big government
Only for different things

You got issues with our big protective military for 400,000,000 people?

Tough bananas.

They don’t protect us.......they extend military muscle around the globe

Continental US has not been invaded in 200 years
Nobody on earth has the capability

 

[Mac1958]

Any one who is under the delusion that because you support one major political party over the other you automatically become an evil person, is just plain silly.

Yep. It's a measure of how successful those who seek to divide us have been.

They want to see two groups of cavemen pounding on each other with clubs, and that's what they're getting.

It's good for business.

All I can say is, WOW!!!! What a short memory, or might be a selective memory.

Haha...what Left run city, state or nation is “better” for good, real Americans?

I know this one, BrokeLoser, Los Angeles...wait, no, not that one. San Francisco...nope, not that one either.
Oh yeah, Detroit...no, no. I got it...Baltimore, Wow, that's not it either. Hmmmmm
You present a very good question.

 

[candycorn]

First question...neither. Second question...the left. Proudly.

The left supports government providing free college educations to everyone and supports the government managing the nation's healthcare system.

My OP is correct. The left supports larger government and larger government control.

Meanwhile back in reality the government under your blob is further in debt than ever. And we’re now starting a comical “space force”.

And more educated Americans is a good thing.

So protecting our satellites from an enemy is comical. I see.
It's the new millennium, Candi, technology is advancing.

Anytime a Lefty says that tired played out shit what they really mean is; "the Left makes our country better FOR our compartmentalized factions"...the dregs of the world...illegal wetbacks, pole puffers, rug munchers, white guilt whackos, feminazis, chicks with dicks, criminals, drug users and lowlife degenerates...and those from the armpit of society...ain't that right candycorn and rightwinger ?

Wow, they were not protected before your blob got there?

BTW...where is our manned space program?

Trump couldn't the debt if he wanted. Nancy and Chuck would shut down the government.

Anarchy vs. Totalitarianism is a different dimension than right vs. left wrong.

Right vs. left wrong isn't nearly so much about how big government should be, or how much power it should have, as it is about what government should or should not do with however much power it is given.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Continental US has not been invaded in 200 years

Tell that to all those foreign criminals who are invading our country across our southern border.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

The Right protects the rich

The Left makes our country better

The right protects honest, decent, sane, hard-working mainstream Americans.

The left wrong protects criminals, sexual perverts, baby killers, drug abusers, terrorists, and other subhuman filth.

The right makes our country better.

The left wrong is trying to do to the whole country what they have done to sh••hole cities like Than Fwanthithco.

What is the GOP doing that perpetuates what you describe?
Aren't they just doing what they've always done?
