Killer post! We are all in constant danger of convincing ourself that 'we' are a "kindler, gentler Nazi." Personally, I have always been of the opinion that the Pacifist movement would be more effective if they owned more weapons. TruthMonger William H. Geiger III wrote:

Now, if one sees the burning issue of the day the fight to rid the world of government as we know it, maybe right left labels make sense. By defining both the left and the right as groups who advocate increasing government control over private actions, you describe what seems most important to you. I found this characterization of "leftists" as shallow as Declan's, however.
There is no difference between the "left" and the "right" in Amerika politics other than which tit on the federal sow they wish to suck on and which "buzz" words they use in their FUD campaigns to hurd the sheeple in support of their cause celebre.
The one unifying principle of these "leaders" is the acquisition of power and the using of the Federal Government to get it. It doesn't matter if it's a Tree Hugging Communist like Ralf Naider or a Religious Nut like Pat Robertson. Their agendas are the same, their modus operandi are the same, and their results are the same: They get more power, the feds get more power, and the "people" get fucked once again.
