Right vs. Left is a distraction from real issues. There are enemies of freedom in both parties.
"A house divided against itself cannot stand." -Abraham Lincoln
“Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand." -Jesus Christ
Do you really think that is correct? From what I have seen in the UK, US and Ireland, its when all parties are in agreement that you are really stuffed. Iraq invasion, property subsidies that lead to the bubble, the UK joining the EMS, Ireland accepting a punitive bailout; all agreed on a bipartisan basis and all disasters.
Personally I think its the job of the opposition to oppose. Its hard for them when they are winning the argument while losing the decisions. But thats a lot better than when they rubberstamp the executive.
