I can't speak about anything outside of the USA, because it's out of my knowledge base, and my interest. (Liberals forgive me if I don't think that what is happening in France is not also happening in the USA, because CNN said it.)

Religion is an inherently right wing thing, because right wing movements, especially in the USA, have religion as part of their essential beliefs. Left-wing movements in the USA are firmly rooted in secularism, marxian economics, left-populism, social liberalism, and surprisingly enough, left-conservatism/ultra-authoritarian social policies.

A person who finds little to no real truth in religious belief would be very hard-pressed to find a Democrat or any other lefty that will not disagree with them, because part of left-wing culture is to always believe in what is trendy, and to never actually hold any of one's own beliefs. They have a much higher out-group preference than right-wingers do; right-wingers simply want to bring back the old feudalistic system from the middle ages, do the same crap they have been doing since the beginning (which is repeat old crap policies) and alienate anyone who does not see truth in norms and traditions, for the most part.

There are a lot of beliefs that make up the american right and religion is certainly part of them. The left is more...well, left wing. It's a vague term without a complete explanation, but it's basically made of all the marxian ideologies.

too far right and too far left are both too likely to go over the political edge. My left wing friends think I'm too conservative because I didn't want Hillary and I don't want any more gun control. my right wing friends think I'm too liberal because I don't like Trump and his bigotry. I like to have all the facts, then make my own decisions

I am a liberal political junkie. I believe that diversity in population makes us better and am vs discrimination of race, religion, ethnicity, LGBTQ status and disabilities.

Good question, one I think the majority around here have been pondering… I see those of the ‘far wrong’ (there’s little if anything right about them) worshiping authority, or a ‘strong man,’ or wanting to be that ‘strong man.’ Therefor, they will reject institutions in which they can not achieve their ultimate goal. Somewhat like an aggressive charismatic narcissistic individual using religion as a tool to achieve their desired status … much like our US president has done.. Jim Jones, anyone? It’s not as much about religion or philosophy as it is power.

People of this mindset haunt humanity, always have. And their reckless race for acknowledgement gives them a seemingly over-sized voice, cuz they’re the ones most willing to YELL… While the rest sit back, turn away, turn the channel or quickly scamper off in the opposite direction - making them complicit in the ultimate damage caused by this (as witnessed around here) human minority.

While the far right has definite tendencies to the hard core conservative religious; the far left also has religious tendencies. Right now they are being very quite hoping the conservatives hang themselves -- hoisted on their own petards.

None of them as there all professional liars. question everything

I try to stay away from political discussion. I'll make fun of politics and politicians all day long, but that's about the extent of my involvement. My personal beliefs skew far to the left, though.

I believe we here in the US, we are seeing a shift in previously held values. The traditional values of conservatives seem to have gone the wayside to what author and commentator Van Jones would call “anti-liberalism”.... and don’t get me wrong, the Left has just as ya issues. I’d implore you to do a quick “Van Jones anti-liberal” google search and watch the video he made as he can articulate his points better than I can. Below, I’ve touched on two examples he gives in his video.

Traditionally, republicans are the party who are for marriage and families and against abortions. Currently, the LGBTQ is the largest demographic who want to start families and are having the last amount of abortions yet, this’s community has been ostracized by the GOP. You’d think they’d make natural allies.

Next, the GOP traditionally supports the entrepreneurial spirit and those of faith. Well, statistically, you’d think they would make great allies w the Muslim community as they are some of the most devout and self starting people. Yet we see a huge disdain for them coming from the right.

Politically, I am socially liberal and financially conservative but above all, a humanitarian and globalist.

I'm not sure where I would fit. My conservative friends think that I'm a flaming liberal because I support the LGBT community, and I think that the "war on drugs" is a waste of time and energy. My liberal friends think I'm a Tea Party member because I don't want to ban guns and I believe that taxation is theft.

Conservative views do not solely belong to the religious community, and vice versa liberal views do not solely belong to the non-religious community. There are increasing numbers of Christians who are registering Democrat.

Hmm, I honestly am not quite sure where I fall... moderate or moderate left. Somewhere in that range though. I think I might be a bit conservative in my own life but believe more liberal in the political sense so it kind of balances out. As long as it isn't hurting me or mine and all those involved are in complete agreement, I have no business bothering with it. If a person needs an abortion I'm sure they went through all the other possible options and made a decision based on what they needed. If someone wants a gun I'd like to see background checks and psych checks placed first but otherwise, have at it. I am not gay or by but have no qualms with anyone who is. Just because I don't want or don't like something doesn't give me the right to control someone else doing it unless they are forcing it on others. Now I do feel both sides go way over board in many areas and don't like getting dragged either way. I just don't feel laws need to get involved unless it is actually harming those outside of whatever situation.

well don't mind homo women,as some men are jerks.However putting oneself in a anus is filthy.Not made for sex.
