AND NOW for something completely politically incorrect

[Chocolate Shake Man]

I don't think so.  Liberals / Democrats = left wing and Conservatives / Republicans = right wing. 

No, that's false. Democrats are equated with the left because the left in the United States has been politically disenfranchised. The Democratic Party as a centre-right political faction is as far to the left is one can legitimately go in the United States and are therefore called the left - but they are not genuinely left-wing. I've gone into detail about this before on this board. I am refraining from entering into political conversations here anymore though for reasons I'd prefer not to give. But have a look at a previous debate on the subject:

And you can find me talking about the political oppression of the Left in the bottom paragraph of this post:

I guess the mods have left town and shirked their obligations? 

THREE Mods and this thread ISN'T IN THE SANDBOX WHERE IT BELONGS

Mike Love is evil. Mike Love probably voted for Bush both times. There, now it's BB relevant again.

Has Mike sued for song writing credit on this one yet?

He'll have to do a joint thing with Chuck Berry on this one.
