A leftist is a rightest who's been drafted, a rightest is a leftest who's
been mugged. Actually I  don't see how all human political ideas can be put
into just 2 categories with any consistency; for example, what in the world
does opposition to abortion and advocacy of low taxes have in common?
Rightest tend to be in favor of the free market and that's good, but they
also tend to be in favor of creationism and that's bad.

Incidentally I usually fast forward through commercials but not last night
when I was watching "The Daily Show" and The Colbert Report on the comedy
central channel, there were 2 30 second commercials from the Freedom From
Religion Foundation given by Ron Reagan, son of the former president. He
calls himself a "unabashed atheist" and at the very end says "I'm not
afraid to burn in hell".
