Left vs. Rightttttt

Thomas Sowell observes that the vision of the “political left is collective decision -making through government, directed toward - or at least rationalized by - the goal of reducing economic and social inequalities.” The right, however, Sowell says, has “no common vision.” If this is true, and the right is fragmented and disunited in its vision for America’s future, what are we to do?

One vs. manyyy. Left vs. righttttt. E Pluribus Unum. If the 80/20 rule applies, are the 80% on liberal left and the 20% on the conservative right? If this is true, America loses her old self as she puts on a new but dangerous identity. Government will continue to restrict our freedoms by regulating and taxing them. So long as this trend continues, so much farther will we slide down the socialistic, European slope. But, look up and around you. Are 80% in the right? The concepts of hope and change can yet be re-defined in terms of a representative, Constitutional Republic - not a democracy ruled by an unruly vocal minority of leftists.
