5. Humm... I wouldn't call Ralph or Glenn the Left. They just prank 'em real good.

I get your point, but think it doesn't apply. The results of the so-called Left can end up enabling the Right.

So that's how I define them now. IRL I've had to deal with so-called Lefties who have gone so far around the bend, everything they do benefits the Baggers. It's results that matter.

Utopia may or may not come in the future, and is never sure. People live in the present and can't wait for perfection.

Real people die behind those who have the luxury of rigid ideology. It's why I'm not buying anymore. It is part of the reason Obama is savaged here at DU so much.

His focus is on saving lives not known by many people. They don't excite the media passion we see pushed daily. They die without notice when people pride themselves on their ideology over those who need help now.

JMHO.
