    Origin of Left & Right



    I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right"
    ... and Liberals are called the "left."

    By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:

    "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool
    to the left." Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)

    Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.


    Can't get any simpler than that.

    And now for a Spelling Lesson-------

    The last four letters in American..........I Can
    The last four letters in Republican.......I Can
    The last four letters in Democrats.........Rats

    End of lesson. Test to follow in November, 2012.

    Remember, November is to be set aside as rodent removal month

    touching and humorous, but it's from the french parliament seating.
    "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
    "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." -Alexander Fraser Tytler
