Left/right, liberal/conservative, progressive/traditional, big government/capitalism, democrat/republican, ..., these are false dichotomies promulgated by established secular and sectarian authorities to divert attention from the dichotomies of substance, such as liberty versus slavery, freedom versus oppression, natural rights versus government-granted rights, free markets versus planned economy, self-determination versus obedience and conformity.
From the perspective of those who cherish freedom, it makes no difference whether the present incarnation of tyranny is left or right of center, wherever that may be. Once the votes are tallied, regardless of which party's candidates come out on top, the truth is that the winner is government, and you are the governed.

The legalization of pot in certain places and the increasing acceptance of same-gender relationships notwithstanding, true liberalism has been dead in America for at least 35 years.
There is no "Left" politically in America anymore. There is "Right" and "Righter".
^This is what the foreign posters were saying after our last election. They were laughing at the idea that people considered Obama "left-wing" or a "socialist". They said, "You don't have a left-wing party in the USA. You have a right-wing party and a far-right-wing party."
