What needs to be added is that the people who sat on "the right" of the assembly were the conservatives/monarchists/theocrats or representatives of the 'ancien regime'.

	oh, I'm sure there were no wars in the roman empire, in feudal europe and in monarchist europe - hi hi hi. Seriously, what's the point of you vomiting one piece of nonsense after the other? 

	what's the point of you constantly lying to yourself? How can you pretend to be so blind as to not see that your 'modern' government is the logical extension of the divine right of kings?

	lol - you are a left-wing techno-fascist bot James. I challenge you to think for yourself and say anything at least half original.

	But the problem is, as either a lefty or a righ-winger, you are totally and completely unable to THINK.  All you can do is repeat whatever program your masters put into you.
