This is getting silly. Left wing and right wing are shorthand originally derived from the seating arrangements of the French revolutionary National Assembly.

I tend towards the view that such shorthand is practically useless in a world where Tony Blair is supposedly a man of the left while Jacques Chirac is supposedly a man of the right.

However, I do tend to think that the words "National" and "German" are more important than "socialist" in Nazi - the socialist bit was very much an afterthought by the "old" Nazis and you really wouldn't have wanted to be a leftist of even the most moderate stripe with the Gestapo on the loose.

I'll keep on saying it. Decent US conservatives should not imagine for a moment that they have anything in common with any of these Euro neo-Nazis. They are Hitler worshipers who, given half a chance, would have the gas ovens back up and running as quick as you could say "Juden raus".

I think we're on the same line of thought..

All I'm saying is, There's Freedom, and there's Tyranny..
I want all the Freedom I can get..
If I'm being tyrannized, it matters little to me if it's a commie or a nazi..
They are both doing the same thing to me..
Taking away my Freedom..
