The Right everywhere in the world gains more by forming a security agenda while the Left gains from a social agenda.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the U.S the right is very wide. From Neo con's to almost Anarchist.
Although the big word on the left is 'compassion,' the big agenda on the left is dependency.
Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
Since the end of the Cold War, America has been grasping left and right for an identity.
The Left likes to think of itself as the bulwark of progressive liberal individualism, and yet it seeks to progressively coerce others to fund every social program under the sun via majority rule.
In the U.K. the far Right is a stain on society and there is a cultural resistance to it.
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.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.
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.
If you don't create a sense of order and stability, if people do not feel secure, then progressive politics is dead. That is a fact of history. The right has always emerged supreme when destabilisation and insecurity prevail.
