Nonsense left and right

Bullshit leftist dogma

We must blame George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon as if they were the world's biggest human rights abusers

Pacifism is infallible

Islamic dictatorships are better than war

Israel is evil

You can never say anything bad about Islam because the right wing press might (God forbid) agree with you.

Oppressive, inhuman regimes are only bad if governed by white people.

Living in Saudi Arabia is like a 24/7 non-stop party in Amsterdam.

Islam is beyond criticism because it's a different culture

Sure the Pope was reponsible for millions of AIDS deaths and continuing oppression of people by African governments but now that he's dead I actually think he was real cool.

The Pope was on OUR side.

Bullshit rightist dogma
Reagan should be forgiven for regarding homosexuals as lower than human, ignoring the AIDS crisis, funding the Contras and the Taliban and proliferating poverty in the world's richest nation because he was a conservative and that's cool, Fox News said so.

Awe come on, Pinochet wasn't that bad.

We should ignore starving people in third world countries, it's their fault that they're ruled by dictators, we have our own problems to worry about in our ultra-rich democracy.

The Pope would really have wanted us at his funeral.

Gay marriage should be illegal because it's against Christian morals and desecrates the sanctity of the traditional family institution... but divorce, single parenthood, fruitless marriages, promiscuity, prostitution, mini-skirts, rock & roll, music videos, pornography and alternative religions are perfectly fine.

Who needs facts when you've got patronising, moralistic rhetoric?

We owe corporate millionaires our public services.

We're smarter than environmental biologists.

The Pope was on OUR side.

has anyone ever even said this?

Hmmm...so what are you? I have to admit...the right side you listed sounded a bit meaner than what you wrote for the lft...

Oh, another left wing one for you

All pro-lifers are sexist men out to undermine women's rights.

In principle I'm a socialist but feel that a lot of socialist movements of late have been infliltrated by political correctness, a romanticization of the Iraq war as if Bush were the only criminal, lies and (rather scarily) anti-Semitism.

What? I've seen plenty of liberals criticising aspects of Islam that they don't like.

OK then,

Leftish bullshit
It's because of Bush personnaly if the polar ice is melting

Religion is bad for you and should be banned.

Gun control will remove guns from the streets.

Rightist Bullshit
There's no such things a climate change due to gaz consumption. The CEO of GM told me so.

The law are based on christian ideals and religion should be more involved in the law-making process.

Gun never killed nobody and are necessary to make sure someone doesn't steal your stuff.

Most of it was exaggerations, but come on admit it. When Europhiles, limousine liberals and champagne socialists would like to think they can to put a stop to homophobia (when if fact they're pretty useless at it), they rarely bother looking to the East. Why would they? They'd risk of losing their admirers.

I think the best example of left/right bullshit is their respective positions on guns and drugs. Liberals say gun control works, but drug control does not. Conservatives say the opposite. Civil libertarians like me shake our heads and point out the obvious.
