Left vs Right




Imagine a leftie a righty and a centrist libertarian are walking down the street. Some muggers show up and threaten them. Before they rob our intrepid trio a dog appears out of nowhere and viciously attacks the muggers.

"What a wonderful dog!" cries the lefty.

"Bite him in the nuts!" screams the righty.

"I think that dog is rabid!" yells the libertarian.

Our trio continues down the street where they pass a kindergarten, lo and behold the same dog is in the playground tearing children to pieces, foaming at the mouth, blood everywhere just the most fearsome carnage.

"My god, this is terrible," sobs the lefty. "Someone should teach those kids how to get along with that dog, we could solve this if we just adopted a pragmatic outlook."

"They must have done something to deserve it. That dog only attacks our enemies! Bite them in the nuts Rover!" exclaims the righty.

"I told you that dog was rabid!" screams the libertarian.


Your mileage may vary.

Oh please. Anyone who says they are centrist libertarian seems to always be right wing - they just like toking on the odd doob.
