I AM TheStripey1, peace tiger. Although I lean left on some issues, I am neither liberal nor democrat and although I lean right on others, I am not conservative or a republican. In fact since January of '03, I have been a recovering republican. I am now an unafilliated independent. I am however, staunchly anti-bush, so more often than not, I will swing from the left side of the plate.

I am a veteran having enlisted in the Air Force in '66... I volunteered for the war of my youth and was sent to Viet Nam in Oct '67. Any other vets?

Generally speaking, I rarely post on weekends or evenings, so if I disappear for long periods, it means I'm having REAL fun, it will not mean you have chased me off.

laffs...


Is there a players' program? Are there avatars?

Love the smilies...

Sure...and you'll find that this particular "player's guide" will hold you in good stead anywhere in cyberspace:

People who are coherent: Lefties

People who are incoherent: Righties

It won't be hard to figure out who's who.

I always fail to see why the left would want to use that term. It was the exact terminology used by Lenin and Stalin...

Seriously, I'd prefer "liberal" if I were a lefty to the use of such terminology.

"Liberal" has been co-opted, in a sense. Among leftists it's actually used as a mild insult, meaning someone who is lazy and hypocritical. Ironically enough, that's pretty much the same way in which those on the Right intend it, though for entirely different reasons as I'm sure you can imagine.

:D
"Progressive" is actually fairly descriptive and doesn't have much emotional freight for most people in the U.S. or Europe.

I just thought that purposefully adopting communist terminology would be anathema to any party in the US, especially one attempting to avoid the "socialist" label.

It fascinates me.

That, I can't speak to, since I've never tried to avoid the "socialist" label myself. For that matter, I've nothing against communists even if I don't agree with them on a lot of issues.
 
Careful now....
