Does anybody remember the Left?

[RobertEarl]

55. If the left was not left to be here now

What would America look like today?

Cheney would be serving his fourth term.

Social Security would be cut to the bone.

We would still be occupying Iraq.

The EPA would be wiped out.

There would be at least two more major wars.

Gasoline would be over $5 a gallon.

We would have more money being spent on nuclear power and less on solar and other alternatives.

Just about any progress made in the last 40 years would be wiped out. It only took Cheney 8 years to make the country go backwards.

I wonder: How does the right see the left? From my experience these are some of the ways the left are seen.

Big Gov. intruding on individual freedoms. (But the right loves this aspect via laws against abortion, drugs, sex education, and building codes)

Left wants to take money from the rich and give to the poor. (So then we should end public roads, make defense penniless, end regulations on pollution?)

Left wants to regulate corporations (So we should let polluters go free to pollute, slavery to continue unabated, and bad products be sold?)

**********

If it wasn't for the left and social security and medicare, the country would economically shrivel and die. If it wasn't for environmental laws we would all be dying from pollution. If it wasn't for the left Cheney would have made this country into a nazi styled fascist country that would have made Hitler proud.

So to those who think we are to Left in this country I say go live in Somalia you traitorous bastards.
