And I cannot count how many times I was told there has never been an authentic "left" in the United States, in the European sense.
But at the end of the day, my progressive friends, you may coin ideas in whichever way you like. The fact is: You do have a right. This right, in large part thanks to its neoconservative battalion, has brought about an ideological transformation that is both substantial and striking.
No,we have a left and a center. </sarcasm>What we have, of course, is a left which calls itself "objective journalism," and what that left calls a "right" which would be entirely happy not having to concern itslef with such things as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. And would now be able to do so, if not for the Jimmy Carter left which pulled the plug on the Shah of Iran and gave North Korea uranium.
