Just as the left has to be more willing to question 'Government knows best,' the right has to rethink its laissez-faire attitude toward government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
In the U.S the right is very wide. From Neo con's to almost Anarchist.
It can be tough to find areas where Left and Right can agree. Consider the well-being of children: Americans often disagree about how to raise kids, how to educate them, even what to feed them.
The left has lost touch with popular opinion, thereby making it possible for the right to present itself as the party of common sense.
The right really dominates radio, and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.
The right is so reactionary it goes nowhere.
The right can distort anything it wants.
The belief that government must be the ultimate nanny to our children is one of the fundamental philosophical disagreements between the Right and Left.
Using official government resources to help bankroll an explicit political agenda - whether on the right or left - is flat out wrong.
Nothing for the Left, nothing the government does is ever about its superficial reason; it's only and always about expanding government power and control over you.
