****"who's right and who's wrong" is more of a liberal idea, a conservative idea, or that both political ideologies have their share of that kind of thinking?****
Liberals love to talk about how non-judgemental they are but that is total BS. They love to trot out their "judge not" type Bible verses whenever it's convenient for them. When they are in the wrong and they know it (i.e., Bill Clinton Impeachment) they will quote their fav no judgement-let he who is without sin Bible verses. But of course they have no probblem making vile judgements on Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Ann Coulter, etc....
I am rooting for the Canada teams. I love the way their crowds are so into the game.

To some extent, I agree about how the liberals love to cast issues in non-judgmental terms when they are doing wrong but cast other issues as strictly black and white. The reason I asked the question is that liberals seem to like to avoid the “who's right and who's wrong” question more publicly, but many of their positions are based on seeing things in strict black and white ways. The reality is that many conservative positions are denials of the whole “who's right and who's wrong” question. Anytime we say that the free market should decide some question, we are essentially saying that we aren't interested in arguing the finer points of right and wrong for everyone but will let everyone make his or her own decisions. Personally, I think we need to highlight the fact that many of our positions do not involve long discussions of “right and wrong” but allow people to make their own decisions.
In difficult discussions that you've had over the course of your life, have all of them centered on some black and white issue or have some of them boiled down to matters of personal preference? I think some issues are clearly black and white or right and wrong, but others are not.
