Both sides of the political spectrum have characterized extreme versions of the enemy that they see and use it to try to get the mass in the middle to vote for them in order to defeat the other vile side. The fact is that this distorts reality where elements of each side of the spectrum are good for everyone. For example, capitalism has proved to be good for making economies grow. But creating a powerful superclass of lucky rich people takes us back to the feudal system, also proven wrong in the Middle Ages with documents like the Magna Carta freeing the serfs and subsequent improvements of the lot of the every day human. The right side of the spectrum is comfortable with the term, conservative, but the left side of the spectrum favors progressive over liberal.

Right or Left



It makes no difference what side you're on,

extremists sing the same old song.

Hide their prejudices with collective lies,

that reveal those prejudices in disguise.


To say one is conservative is to hoard,

hold onto wealth ill obtained across-the-board.

Do not share at all with the sodden masses,

give them too much and they will still clash us.


We are Christian with God on our side,

no way to mix with those on a free ride.

We go to the church of wealth and power,

sweep away the homeless from our bower.


Why don't they pull themselves up like we did?

Work hard and save to invest in what needed?

Taxes are for wage working beer drinking bums,

they need to have all kinds of tax breaks, chums.


We conserve by buying luxury and flaunting it well.

Pay our staff minimum wages to avoid tax hell.

Want everyone born because they are God's will,

but we have no obligation to help them, not one shill.


To say one is liberal, is to give it all away.

Tax the rich to give to the poor, not the Christian way.

The liberal are too free with their lifestyle these days,

flaunting biblical no-nos before our very eyes.


They are full of tattoos, piercings and such,

ride big motorcycles with muscles stretched.

Sidearms conveniently threatening at their side.

Free to run rampant clearing a path wide.


Liberals are talking revolution in the streets,

fomenting violence to take away our treats.

They're all communist and wanting to take our things,

ruin the economy with the hatred it brings.


Liberals are tree hugging environmental fools,

they can't live off the land without our tech tools.

They warn us of scientifically proven disaster,

but we are only concerned with our dynasty hereafter.


The big lie is hidden in the words liberty and free.

Both sides of the coin claim it is for me, me, me.

But the truth is freedom to hurt others is not right,

so we must fight for the middle with all our might.


For liberty is not exclusively left or right to the core,

without some constraints on what is too much more.

What we must share with our kindred worldwide,

for the good life to go on and everyone abide.

Maybe I just lack the intelligence to fully comprehend this one even after reading it several times, however, whatever it means, it is well written and thought out as are all your postings...-e-

labels can be pushed beyond their actual reality by both the left and right. where the truth lies, is where we should aim for the middle ground.

Many of your points are spot on and so well said. Excellent summative write. I prefer the middle road.

I will ALWAYS be on the Right!!! I can't stand the Chinese-loving communist Democrats and the braindead trouble-makers Liberals who burn their own city to ruins!!! Think REAL HARD whether you want to turn your own country into a communist country before you vote!!! - I mean, think REALLY HARD about it. It's your own future as well as America's future!!!

Ehhhhhh ... what's up, Doc? Why is it that "conservatives" are into anything but conserving resources and stuff and such and the like. Seems to this little guy that some folks lifestyle twists 'em into Ugly.

The word “Lie” is embedded in the word Liberal. The Liberals are the most hypocritical of all the political groups. The majority of workers especially “White Collar’ Collar workers steal. Lifestyle is an accumulation of habits formed into character!

That I hope soon to be extinct dinosaur, our government, is bludgeoned and beaten as thoroughly as the freedom of the law lets me without jail time.
