Wouldn't a leftist be someone who was prejudiced against the left, in the same way that a racist is someone who is prejudiced against certain races?

As Peter Cook said, “the Americans, like us in England, have a two-party system. They have the Republican party, which is like our Conservative party, and they have the Democratic party, which is like our Conservative party."

I don't know what a leftist is these days. Seriously. It isn't what it use to be. Is being a protectionist and cozying up to the Chinese and the Russians and blasting a massive hole in the National debt now conservative values? People like Logger have no clue about policy. This is simply tribal. Republicans good, Democrats bad.
Trump promised to bring back coal. Ain't happening. Trump promised to help lower prescription prices. His policies will not do that. Gas prices have risen 30 prevent since he has taken office and are now predicted to go much higher because of Trump's policies in the Middle East. What has Trump done except help the super wealthy? I guess that is the true conservative value. |

A canny move by Israel
[blockquote] As the city prepared for the ceremony, its top football team, Beitar Jerusalem, announced that it has renamed itself in honour of the “courageous US president. Henceforth the team will be known as Beitar Trump Jerusalem. [/blockquote] They’re playing the Dolt’s ego like a fiddle. https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...-for-bloodshed |
