NOTHING is seen through the eyes of right vs. wrong anymore

[Horse with no Name]

EVERYTHING is right vs. left.

This is a big problem. I don't think there is a solution for it either.

1. Absolutely correct!

For the Dems and the GOP - winning is the only important thing. Winning and fund-raising (to match the Kochs).
And policy has been thrown under the bus, no right or wrong comes into play at all.
If our King Solomon acted like our current government, he would have gone ahead and cut that baby in half.
Also seems like even the obviously wrong things to do are just phased in, instead of happening all at once, and we are to praise that as some sort of good thing.

2. It is a hard one to solve

Because of course people, particularly Tea Partiers, believe that they are seeing things through the eyes of right and wrong.

I don't think it's as big a problem on the left though.

3. "One man's trash..." and all that

You're talking about perception, and that's as particular as the person you're talking to. There's never been a standard right and wrong. We think there can be, and try to make reality fit that mold, but it really doesn't work.

4. Rove solidified that with the "red states" / "blue states" thing

after the 2000 election

Although Wikipedia says Tim Russert first used it on October 30, 2000:

5. Not to mention financial profit and loss.

Which is why we are in this mess to begin with.

6. The solution is...

Do not be part of the right vs left.

7. Actually I see it more as greed vs. Rationalism.

And those of us on the rational side can't reason with the greedy.
