Ja, I didn't see anything in there advocating any particular viewpoint, but rather differentiating between two viewpoints on several areas of interest currently. What I didn't see is any differentiation between liberal and left on the question of federal budget deficits, something which just isn't talked about much in our times. I can't imagine why not. To me, that seems far more important than any of the other areas covered in the video.<br>
