Let's settle this once and for all. Try to answer honestly. I am actually curious about whether Americans who call themselves centrists are actually right wing.

There's a simple test to tell whether you’re more left-wing or right-wing

You'll never guess what I came out as (actually, you will)

Well, I came out as a Leftie.

Interesting way to test it. Never seen it done that way.

The test implies one's view of the world shapes their politics rather than politics creating your view point. A conclusion I come up with is brainwashing won't work very well.

It says I'm a Lefty .....rely as if you couldn't already tell ....

Not much of a test thou as Bob says there is a centre line and more people fit that than a tag your left or right .

Most just have to get on with life .

Sticking to one side is more a problem..

If there idea's make sense then vote them in if not look else where you have the power in your vote make it count .

There's no denying the inevitable, so I may as well embrace my new position by purchasing fossil fuel stocks and laughing at some homeless people.

It seems Bobby is correct, Glenn makes every thread about the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, even when the poster he is replying to is a Canadian citizen.

Hey I'm not the one who's laughing at Homeless people , witch is not a good idea as a lot of them may be ex-cons from south of the boarder and have weapons .

But Canada is a victim of that silly country south of the border and there silly Laws and I'm shore many would like to see that silly country reduce there amount of weapons and change there culture to a safer one

But alas if the right wing nut jobs are allowed to have power gowd help the world

To be enlighten ....be a Lefty and not a hipporite

It says I'm left wing, so you know it's 100% reliable and accurate.

Maybe I want the same things many of you in here want, I just compare history to modern day, apply some principles and see I want to do what has worked in the past while many of you in here want to repeat history for some reason.

I think I'm done here.


You're done here until you're not again. History shows this trend at least 3 times. Having triangulated, chances are good it will happen again.

BTW, as a left-handsr, I am the only one in my right mind.
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.
