You say though that we are out of step with the prevailing global
position. Can you share what you feel that opinion generally would
amount to. I have heard so much scuttlebut about left and right, red an
blue, that I am interested in your fresh insight. That way we could
discuss specifics.
==================
There is too much to comment on. Let's start by recalling polling done
in many (I can only assume all) western, developed nations. In not one
poll did the people of these nations prefer Bush over Kerry. In fact,
had the election been global, it would have been a clear landslide for
the Democrats.
Which is why I'm everlastingly grateful that we don't give a flying fart
about what they want.
As to specifics, there are too many to mention. Here's a few (comparing
Republican doctrine with prevailing western attitudes outside of the
USA): abortion, capital punishment, decriminalization of recreational
drugs, gay unions, possession of unnecessay firearms,
There's the important one. Those who are subject to governmental dictates
that firearms are "unnecessary" are slaves, and their governments need to be
overthrown.
