When I read that scripture about the right, I had similar thoughts, so glad you posted it.

I don’t think that translated very well to the old French national assembly . . . but it is ironic. And it probably does already scare the lefties, hence their anti-religion stance.

I think - in it's modern sense - the term comes from the French Rive Gauche, or "Left Bank," the part of Paris that's full of bohemians, artists, writers, and other creative types. What we would today call "hippies."

The hippies of the 1960's and -70's were nothing new. The mass-media celebration of them was new, but they weren't new.

as i’ve said many times on this site. the further your beliefs diverge from the Word of God, the more leftist you are. thus an athiest is as far to the left as you can go.

The terms derive from the first French National Assembly, where supporters of the King sat on the right and the republicans sat on the left.
