How Different Are The "Right" and "Left"

Left vs Right One thing that I've really been railing against the past few years, as anybody from the chat can attest to, is people subscribing to party politics. I could spend countless articles describing my loathing of left vs right, conservatives vs liberals, Democrats vs Republicans, etc, etc... but for the sake of this one, I won't. Instead, I'd like to point you towards a post on Corrupt that asks the question: Are radical groups so far apart from each other?

While I've pointed out to many people that most differences between the Left and Right in America are purely superficial, Corrupt floats the idea that the main similarity between the two is their ideologies revolve around "not being the other guy." Not really a new idea, but one that bears repeating.

While I could go on for hours writing about my gripes with politics, this was more or less an excuse to link to a few choice articles on Corrupt. After all, we are still kinda easing away from being a gaming-centric blog, so lets just ease the transition, no?

Look no further than the decibel that is these health care reform protests. One side is shouting illogical bullshit and the other side is calling them "manufactured". It's making me lose faith in politics everyday.
