Even though I'm a leftist. I think the left eats its own.

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.

When the Left doesn't want to make abortion the issue, they say you're being against minorities.

In the U.K. the far Right is a stain on society and there is a cultural resistance to it.

When it comes to conservative social issues, it saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's quit trying to curry favor with them.

As a chef and activist, I'm particularly concerned with food politics issues such as the farm bill.

We need to punch back against the extremes of both the left and the right and define the terms of the debate ourselves.

My mum is incredibly leftwing, and my dad was quite rightwing - no surprise they didn't stay together - and so I had two very conflicting political opinions as a child, neither of which I was interested in taking any notice of, being a sort of little reprobate.

I guess, topic to topic, you could consider me a left-leaning person.

I think the idea that giant profitable corporations should pay their workers enough so that they don't need food stamps - since when is that left-wing? How did that become 'leftie?' That doesn't seem leftie to me. That seems common sense.
