It would be interesting to compare how many times the BBC has used the phrases "right-wing" and "left-wing" in the last few years. My guess is that there would be at least a 5-to-1 ratio (NPR would probably be 10-to-1) even if the phrase "leftist" was included in the "left-wing" total. Does anyone here have access to Lexis-Nexis to do a search to find out?
For Now!
The world is going to be a very interesting place in the future. Russia, Poland and other formerly Communist Countries are adopting some very pro-freedom, pro-conservative ideas like the flat tax, privatizing their "Social Security". While much of Western Europe seems to be rejecting democracy in favor of rule by the political class. For example the people in western europe favor the death penalty, yet the ruling class is so far opposed they won't even send us captured terrorists because they think that we might execute them.
