There's a seed of real wisdom in that statement if you just think it through.

djashdj,

resurrecting Zubaz' post.....what fun and great timing! 

Wow.  Necro-post.  I'd forgotten I wrote this . . now I have to see how smart I was . . .

Also . .  where I stand now:

I was thinking the same thing. 

Yup..3 plus years of Obama-machination has moved the nation to the Far Left. If re-elected, we'll be over the cliff. 

I think this is still true today. Even some die hard Democrats aren't following in lock-step. Some are distancing themselves from Obama and his policies. That's why he's bringing in the former lecher-in-chief Clinton.

This is where the Tea Party comes in. They were effective in 2010, in some of the primary elections already held and they'll be just as effective in November, 2012. 

Today's vote in Texas should tell a tale. 

Like it or not, Religion issues are moral and ethical issues and should always be part of not only politics but also of every part of life.

Was not. The US Constitution prohibiition against "an establishment of religion" forbade only the federal establishment of a single national demomination. 

In 1789 when the Constitution was drafted, America was steeped in Protestantism. It was completely permissable for the states to have their own state established denominations.

How many jobs would there be if they drill, drill, drill? and build the gas pipeline? To their credit, the Republicans understand this, while the Democarts are so beholden to their special interests groups, like the Unions and Green radical environmentalists, that they'll never be willing to open our own natural resources.

Don't you think Romney will give a place at the convention table and beyond as far as the Libertarians are concerned. Ron Paul has quite a loyal following that should not be dismissed.

Your dollar is worth the same.  They just have a lot more of them.

Obama has become far more right / authoritarian then in 2008.

There is almost no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans now.

Right wing and authoritarian are the opposite.

They are not. They are decoupled. The site is actually explaining this.

Or did you miss the whole, we hate gays, immigrants, and like throwing people in jail to make a buck memo that most right wing parties advocate these days?

I just read the link you provided and don't understand what "authoritarian" means as you use it here.  Perhaps it would help to define it.

I disagree Obama has become far more right then in 2008. As President, Obama promised change and he's been fulfilling that that promise. Change to what? Change from a Republic government that protected life, liberty and property as self evident truths endowed by the Creator toward total tyranny against these unalienable rights.

I'd say, for the most part, this is true of the establishment Republicans. We call them RINO's...Republican In Name Only.

This is a gross hyperbole. 

I suppose you could take the political compass test to see what a tyrant you really are lula.

1. The official democrat platform is "no gay marriage", Don't Ask Don't Tell was implemented by democrats (clinton), the religious right does not hate gays but thinks they are sinners in need of salvation (no different then any of other myriad sins), and conservatives are not exclusively made up of the religious right.

2. We love immigrants, we don't like criminals. Illegal immigration is a crime and the people smuggling them in also smuggle in terrorist, encoded messages in arabic, drugs, weapons, and organized crime. Securing the border is not a hate of immigrants.

3. I have no idea what the throwing people in jail to make a buck thing is referring to.

Right wingers explicitly oppose the authoritarians in the right. The very basis of their platform is the conservation of the separation of powers and weak central government as outlined in the constitution.

I suppose this is the fundamental problem with most Americans when it comes to politics.

Most cannot understand that "leftist commie" Obama has shifted more to the right through his actual actions and is pretty much at the spot the 2008 Republican platform was run on, and is way more right then previous Republican platforms of the past.

Or that "leftist" Obama's policies would make him a hardcore conservative right winger in any other country on the planet.

The Political Compass site's score are not relative, they are based on political science, and it shows that there has been a fundamental shift to further right wing economics at the same time there has been an erosion in civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism in pretty much all Western democracies. Right wing / Left wing economic policies need to be decoupled from Authoritarian / Libertarian outlooks, because as shown, most Americans have their head in the sand when it comes to political science and what policies their parties are actually implementing.

Also, it is funny that you guys are so uptight that I can't even be pissed off that Obama's policies have become that of a typical Republican, because it insults the typical Republicans with the same policies.
