Your post is a good example of the stupidity of some Americans these days. Are you so oblivious that you still believe everyone's got to be labelled into two camps and your task is to demonize the other camp ? Sure, we see this on P&R all the time, hell, I've often been labelled a Democrat ( absurd, I'm Canadian ), or a leftist ( doesn't fit either but that doesn't stop people from doing so ), or any number of pointless labels. The "Left" you are rambling about mostly doesn't exist AT ALL in the US. It's your attempt to simplify a complex world so you can try to understand it. Better instead to get more educated and think.
