Would it make sense to call the Tea Party FAR LEFT?
In the US the Left means Liberal or at least progressive. Being Right means Conservative or at least rigidly holding onto past mores. Who the hell can say with determination what the Center means? We don't have the comparison to other countries, most times they don't know what our Party affiliations mean because "Labour" and "Liberal" don't necessarily mean the same things.
I did have an epiphany moment recently, when asked if our Constitution is a living document. Do Amendments automatically pronounce it's a living and contextual document, or is the original document a quaint biblical recipe, without regard to intent?
