And, for the record, the problem I have with the global warming movement is the hysteria and the utter lack of perspective. |
Just what "Lunatic left" do you see?
I am correct in saying you come from the US, yes?
If this is incorrect I do appologise, but if it IS correct may I inform you there IS no left in the US at all. Just varying shades of the right wing and a few centralists who get branded as "Left" because everything else is so skewed.
Sure, there's one or two leftists in the legislature, and a small number within the electorate, but they have sod all voice, because anything even SLIGHTLY approaching REAL left wing politics is shouted down as being communistic. As a student of international politics I've studied US policy in detail, and the closest thing you EVER had to a left winger since the second world war was JFK, and he got shot. |
You and Lenny should have a wonderful conversation. Just to be clear, though, today JFK would be a centrist republican not a lefty.
