52. Lyric, this country is so jacked up that even traditional capitalism
is far left, much less a mixed socialist system or Gawdforbid anything further.

Hell, it used to be that being anti-torture was an American value shared by liberals and even hard right conservatives but now if you're firm on the Executive not being judge, jury, and executioner then you're a left wingnut for sure and possibly a terrorist.

See the thing is "conservative" parlayed its self into reactionary and now radical regressiveness is all the rage and "liberal" now includes even yesterday's hard right conservatives.

Just look at the freaks one the Reich nowadays, Lindsey Graham and McShame are liberals to them now and anyone to the left of Ben Nelson (including Snowe) are straight up Marxists.

Fucking McLame is probably no less right wing than Reagan but he's now a liberal to Republicans.

Hell, even self proclaimed Democrats insist on proclaiming Justice Kennedy as a moderate and that fucker is one of the most conservative SOB's to ever serve on the high court.
