Blue Planet in Green Shackles

[Bagpuss]

Bagpuss's world view:

America bad
Lefty nutters good
Government should do everything for everyone
Personal freedom means everyone is out of control
The Independent tells the truth

Why do the far right always assume those who disagree are far left?

Your personal freedom is about shunning conventional wisdom, it's a wonder you don't drive on the right.

I'm not on the far right, how many more times do I have to try and explain it to you. (written english isn't your only downfall)

Conventional wisdom a generation ago was that homosexuals were ill, I don't measure my opinion on the basis of how popular it is.

The whole environment debate has been hijacked by the left exactly as the Czech president describes. The left have always wanted to restrict individual enterprise and economic progress. No better bandwagon to jump on now that socialism has well and truly been nailed as an evil destructive ideology.

So by default many on the right now take the view that the "green debate" having been hijacked by the left is no longer to be taken seriously. The environmental debate has, to further complicate things for the rest of us, also become a focus of one upmanship amongst the scientific and political communities around the world.

No you agree with people who have a hidden agenda to keep the Status Quo, that's hardly revolutionary thinking. Why are you so reluctant to change?

If you want to criticise my English, don't start sentences with brackets.

Who are you saying is on the far right? I am on the side of personal freedom and liberty.... and that is more and more anti 'green' (red).

How do you know who has a hidden agenda.. if its hidden? It could be argued the green movement has a hidden agenda.. but we would know would we.... it would be hidden afterall.

Don't go there, he doesn't understand that politics is not linear.

He only understands right and left.

God knows why I am defending Baggy - but it seems there is more original thought from the so-called "lefties" on this site than the gut reaction, default positions that most others take.
