Political Attitudes and Terminology

I personally find that neither "Right" nor "Left" is particuarly liberal OR progressive. The right supports corporate welfare, intruding into peoples' personal lives (such as in deciding who can marry whom and what medical procedures people are permitted to have) and forcing their religion on the country. The left supports appeasing terroristic and very illiberal islamic regimes, opposing the only beacon of democracy in the middle east (aka Israel), restricting personal self defence and all the "speech codes" and "political corectness" trash. And lets not get started on Obama, the president who emobides BOTH of these positions.
